The top mistakes in Metropolis (1927) http://www.moviemistakes.com/film3138 en Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:55:15 +0000 76846 Freder exits the Moloch machine hall (15 minutes, 55 seconds). The shot of Freder descending the stairs is missing two motorized utility carts (seen at 14 minutes, 24 seconds). 130245 The interior sets of the Rotwang house are much larger than the exterior views (this discrepancy was first noted in a review by H. G. Wells). 46676 An intertitle has a spelling error in the Kino DVD. The name "Freder" is misspelled as "Feder". This occurs in chapter 19, time 00:59:04 to 00:59:12. 76779 Maria is preparing to leave the catacombs and Rotwang has sneaked in to kidnap her. He diverts her attention by throwing a loose brick to the ground a short distance from himself. Maria is then standing deciding what to do. A cord or cable (possibly an extension cord) is visible on the ground behind her on her left. She turns to her right and walks. Her left foot then her right foot gets tangled in the cord. 136008 This mistake was observed in both the Kino and Madacy DVD's. In the Kino DVD, it occurs in Chapter 27, time 01:32:26 to 01:32:29. A shot that lasts three seconds is backwards. The previous shot is a point of view outside an elevator. It shows Maria descending into the workers' city. The very next shot is a point of view from inside the same elevator. It shows the elevator ascending out of the workers' city.
