Movie Information

The Neverending Story movie goofs

1. See it. Atreyu is washed up on a beach, face down. He raises his head, looks around, then stands up. During this movement, there is a cut from a tight to a wide shot. In the tight shot, Atreyu's chest is covered with sand. In the wide shot his chest is clean.
2. See it. Atreyu has just left Rockbiter. We see him (from above) walking towards that building on top of the hill. All around him there are the remains of the devastated city. On his right there are some rocks strewn about. Suddenly the ground opens up. The camera switches to a ground-level shot. On his right there is now a "wall" of rocks (extending way up into the air). The camera now switches back to an aerial shot. The wall is gone and the "strewn about" rocks are back. Looks like the matte painters and set designers didn't agree on this one.
3. See it. About 38 minutes into the movie (the exact time depends on whether you're watching the VCR or DVD version), Morla sneezes for the first time. When the camera switches to Atreyu, you can see a clear image of the stuntman who does the actual falling.
4. See it. In the scene when Fantasia is mostly destroyed and Atreyu is rescued by Falkor, watch the bottom of the first asteroid flying by. Its support pole apparently gets in the way as the asteroid rotates and ends up "masking" a vertical section of the asteroid.
5. See it. When Artax nudges Atreju awake, a sugar cube underneath Atreyu's left shoulder can be seen falling out of the shot.
