“Orphan” Goofs List
- Errors in geography: When Esther is introduced to her new class, she is holding a Nelson Spelling book. These books are not used in the United States, where the film is set; they are, however, used in Canada, where filming took place.
- Revealing mistakes: When Daniel is playing Guitar Hero on his Xbox 360 console, his controller power light is not on, indicating the controller is not on/or plugged in to the console. Also, when the game is shown on the television Daniel is playing on the ‘Expert’ difficulty and appears to be doing quite well, however looking at his fingers, Daniel is only pushing the first three buttons on the guitar (easy mode) and not all five buttons as Expert mode requires.
- Continuity: Early in the film, at one point, the family returns home and it is snowing lightly. The windshield wipers stop and there is a brief overhead shot of Kate near the car with a lot of snow collected on the windshield. Not enough time had passed to allow that much snow to collect on the car.
- Plot holes: SPOILER: Esther’s arm is X-rayed, confirming that it is broken. However it would have been obvious from the X-ray that she was not a child, due to the absence of growth plates on the end of her arm bones.
- Revealing mistakes: When Esther catches John and Kate having sex in the kitchen, the reflection of the couple in the glass shows John holding Kate against the counter with one arm. In the same shot Johns arm is not holding her down. Also, as John turns his head away from the glass, his face can still be seen in his reflection. The reflection appears to have been added in post production.
- Continuity: When Kate climbs out of the ice hole in the pond, she is wet and her hair is wet when she picks up Max. But when there is a close up of her kissing Max, Kate’s hair is dry. Her hair is wet again in the next distance shot.
- Revealing mistakes: The Smith & Wesson m-36 holds 5 rounds, as clearly shown when she removes it from the safe and opens the cylinder. Esther fires five rounds when chasing Kate through the house. When Max picks it up by the pond, she fires a “magical” sixth round.
- Continuity: Later on in the movie, Esther has blood and makeup on her face, but in the close up shot, her face is perfectly normal, when the shot turns back to normal her face is covered in makeup again.
- Continuity: When Kate is shopping in the grocery store with Esther and Max , Sister Abigail calls Kate on her cell phone. as Kate is pushing the cart they come upon 12-packs of 7-Up, but in the next shot they change to 2-liter bottles of 7-Up without them even pushing the cart forward.
- Revealing mistakes: (At 1:57:37) In the credits the word “Russia” in Russian from Esther’s papers is spelled wrong. The first letter should look like the Latin character “P,” not “R” as was shown in the film.
- Continuity: During the night there is a thunderstorm. There is rain dripping from the windows and flashes of lightning can be seen through the windows. However, the next morning while the children are outside playing, there is snow on the ground. The thunderstorm would have washed the snow away, or made the ground warm enough to not allow any later snow showers stick.
