Have you ever noticed this?
I was just watching a movie where they showed the actor in the front seat “driving” down the road. You see the background going by in the back window. But have you ever looked at the steering wheel and the area surrounding it? Nine times out of ten they show the gear shift in the “park” position. I hate this. Either the director doesn’t realize this or they think we are too stupid to notice. If they pay such attention to details in a show, how can they overlook this seemingly obvious mistake? You would think someone on the staff would notice this. This is of course more so in older shows where the they show older cars with automatic transmissions where the gears shift is on the column.
Next time you’re watching, notice if it’s a car with a column shift and if so, what gear is it in?
What about 3 on the tree? Could be 1st or 2nd gear
ReplyDeleteThat's right! I forgot about that one. Good catch. I wonder how many people today even know what 3 on the tree is! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThough would the car shown in the movie be just in 1st or 2nd? And shoudn't we be seeing them shift? Doubt many of today's actors would know how.
