UK Series Thorpe Park- continuity error

Post image

Just spotted that when Jay is trying to get Simon to chase the muff wagon and will spots them that the reg plate is the wrong way around/back to front.

As seen from Simon’s POV in the rear view mirror.

No, it's right after Will has spotted them. They're in front in that scene.

I know the scene and I saw it too. I said it to my Mrs but she didn't care enough to rewind it.

Nope, that’s the steering wheel and the Cinquecento instrument cluster in the left, making it LHD. Since it’s RHD and the licence plate is back to front, it’s the view out the front but flipped.

You're flipped.

Probably been mentioned before but in the same episode when Simon gets on the ride he gets on a different seat to the one he’s on when it shows you them going round the rollercoaster.

I always wonder what the actors don't point out continuity errors like this

Probably don’t care or don’t remember. We see it multiple times, they act the scenes once and different shots could be done weeks apart

I saw this. I think for continuity purposes the car in front was taking a left turn but in reality it was turning right and they had to flip the footage to achieve the left turn they wanted.

Did they flip the scene for some reason?

Maybe when they filmed it the car actually turned right so they realised in editing that when Jay goes - “We’ve caught up to them! Do a left.” - it didn’t make sense so they had to flip it.

The bigger continuity error is that the door was ripped off from the inside yet it’s dented on the outside
