I just noticed a nice continuity error at the opening credits of Mike Judge’s latest film, “Extract”.

One of the factory workers is getting ready to wrap a pallete of “Reynold’s Extract”. As he enters the frame, there are two corner supports on top of the product. He is carrying the other two. In the next cut there are no corners on top, but still two in his hands.

In the next shot, three corners are covered, with one in his hand. Then he does a fancy spin with what should be the last corner.

He must have then dropped the corner (not seen) because in the next shot he’s seen placing the corner and almost gets whacked in the face by (mysteriously reappearing) fourth corner.

The only reason I noticed this is because it looked like the guy was going to get smacked by the reappearing corner. So there you have it…
