This is only visible in the un-matted TV/video print. 7002 At the beginning when Danny is talking to his Mom and eating a sandwich, the sandwich gets about 5 bites smaller in a split second. 12342 When Jack is talking to Lloyd the bartender, his Jack Daniels goes from being two thirds full to nearly empty two or three times without him having drunk any. 33382 One more helicopter mistake. Look at the final shot of the opening sequence (before "the Interview" title shot). At the top of the frame, you will see the helicopter blades twirling. 119091 As Wendy talks to the forest ranger look closely at the US Forest Service emblem above his head. It goes up about six inches on the wall throughout the scene.
