The Flub Report
by Copal
In learning more about the making of Titanic, I've come upon scads of claims that there are flubs throughout. Since I now have the DVD, and therefore the capability to watch the movie frame-by-frame, I used the list I had accumulated and looked for myself. My motivation in writing the Flub Report is my growing fascination with film making and the creating of the illusion that seems so flawless on screen. With so much money at their disposal, and under James Cameron's perfectionistic eye, many flubs remained in the final cut. Of course there are the commonly known ones, like the glob of spit on Jack's chin that isn't there from one angle, but appears in the next shot. We won't be delving into those, just the ones that are new discoveries I hadn't heard terribly much about. I'll also be debunking some so-called flubs that turned out not to be true flubs and pointing out things that weren't necessarily mistakes but that you may not have caught. Along the way, I will share pictures, showing what I'm describing so you can see comparisons and understand the context.
