“Star Trek: First Contact” Goofs List
- Continuity: During Picard’s briefing of the commando teams about their objectives, they arm themselves with phaser rifles. As Picard and Data approach the Borg lair, their team is holding a different kind of weapon. During the subsequent fight with the Borg, everyone is again holding the first type of phaser.
- Continuity: When Data jumps down while Lily is shooting at him, he has no bullet holes in his clothing as he walks towards her.
- Continuity: When the camera gets a shot of the holodeck doors right before Picard shoots the Borg wall with his phaser, the ID sticker on the door reads “08 HOLOSUITE 4″. When the Borg force their fingers through the seam to open the door, the ID sticker now says “0820 HOLODECK 07″.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Data and Picard turn a corner in a corridor before opening the hatch to deck 16, a stage light with an orange over is visible for a moment as they round the corner.
- Revealing mistakes: As the Borg Queen tries to maintain her grip on Picard’s leg in Engineering, she leaves a smear of metallic paint/makeup on his pants.
- Continuity: When Picard smashes the display case, the Enterprise D is still up. However, when Lilly comments that he broke the ships and picks up some pieces, they are of the Enterprise D.
- Continuity: When Picard goes into the conference room to work on new modulations he and Lily enter it from the left side of the Bridge. When they go back onto the Bridge after Lily convinces him to blow up the ship, they walk through the same door in the conference room, yet come out on the right side.
- Revealing mistakes: Cochrane reacts to the phaser beam fired by Riker a fraction of a second before it actually hits him.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Picard misquotes Moby Dick when he says, “And he piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it.” The actual quote by Melville reads, “He piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it.”
- Continuity: When Picard tries to convince Lily that he is a friend and asks for the phaser, she is seen starting to lower it and hand it over to him. The next time the camera is on her, she is clearly pointing the phaser at him. Only abit later does she lower it and hand it to Picard.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Geordi invites him to look at the Enterprise, Zefram Cochrane puts his hand on the body of the telescope. No experienced astronomer would ever do this as it would move the alignment.
- Miscellaneous: In the film’s ending credits, James Cromwell’s role is listed as “Cochran”, when it should have been spelled “Cochrane”.
- Continuity: When Riker and Cochrane are inside the cockpit of the Phoenix prepping it for launch, after the missile silo doors open, Riker tells Cochrane that the moon “looks a lot different” in the 24th Century, and that various lunar colonies as well as “Lake Armstrong” can be easily seen on a clear day. However in various episodes of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (1987), “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” (1993), and “Star Trek: Voyager” (1995), the Moon can be seen on various occasions looking like a standard moon without any visible signs of colonies or cities.
- Continuity: When Picard walks around the ship with Lily and she asks how big the ship is, Picard answers it has 24 decks. When a security officer later reaches the bridge and briefs Worf, he says the Borg have control over decks 16 through 26.
- Revealing mistakes: Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) can be seen silently mouthing the same line as Lily (Alfre Woodard) just before he smashes the display case with a phaser rifle in the observation lounge on the Enterprise.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After the destruction of the Borg sphere, Picard asks where the Borg were firing on, and Riker heads towards the Science station on his right to read the coordinates from the display. Just a moment after, he asks Lt. Hawk (who is at the helm) for the damage done on the surface. Hawk states that “long-range sensors are still off-line”, but at that distance away from Earth, short-range sensors would have sufficed. Furthermore, Hawk shouldn’t even be capable of reading long-range science sensors from the helm console, and even if he could, Riker is still next to the science station, with the science officer next to him, AND the information about the surface is still on the display, so there is no need to ask the helmsman for it.
- Continuity: On the Defiant when Worf yells “Report!” he’s on the ground just holding the Captain’s chair arm, then the camera changes and he’s suddenly in the chair. Next, when Worf is saying “..day to die!” some one is behind Worf moving toward the bridge door to leave, but disappears when the camera switches to the angle with the helmsman, but the person appears again when Worf says “Prepare for ramming speed!” and finally leaves the bridge.
- Continuity: Lt. Barclay appears as a member of the Enterprise-E crew in this movie, however in “Star Trek: Voyager: Projections (#2.3)” (1995) (which was filmed over a year before this movie), Barclay also appears in that episode, saying he was Dr. Zimmerman’s assistant on Jupiter station. No explanation was ever given, either in the movie, or in the episode, to account for this discrepancy.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Worf confronts Picard on the bridge and declares that if “he [Picard] was any other man, he would kill him,” Worf does not have his sash on. In the bridge scene where Picard decides to destroy the Enterprise Worf has his sash on. Possibly, when Worf was ordered off the bridge he went got it and put it on before returning.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Cmdr Riker unplugs the jukebox when he first meets Dr Cochrane. A few minutes later Dr Cochrane appears to simply hit the jukebox to turn it back on. However, in the background during the last few lines of Riker and Troi’s conversation, you can see Cochrane bend down beside the jukebox, (presumably) to plug it in. He then hits it to restart it.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: At one scene, Zefram Cochrane looks at the Enterprise through the telescope from Montana. Two minutes of movie time later, Picard shows the Earth to Lily Sloane, and the ship is over Australia on course to North America (Picard remarks that Montana is coming up soon). However, between those two scenes various episodes of crew fighting the Borg are shown, indicating that some time have passed by in between. A ship at the presented orbit can go from Montana to Australia in less than a couple of hours. Moreover, the stories on the ship and on the ground aren’t connected at that point, so theoretically the second scene could have happened before the first. In any case, there is no obvious error in the ship not being over Montana in the second scene.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: While Picard, Worf and Hawke are trying to disable the “interplexing beacon” the Borg are building on top of the deflector dish, smoke or steam can be seen rising up in such a way it only can in an atmosphere. Steam/smoke would normally dissipate in a vacuum, zero gravity, in all directions, if it’s not propelled, and if it is propelled “upward”, then it will continue to “rise” and won’t come back “down” as seen in the movie. However, all this is true if the electric charge is taken out of the equation. The steam is likely ionized (positively charged), if not for functional purposes (we know that plasma is often used in the deflector), then because of Picard’s phaser fire. Picard also mentions that the dish is charged with anti-protons (negative charge), which perfectly explains why the positively charged steam is pulled back toward the dish. Plasma behavior in an unknown electromagnetic field can be complicated enough to explain all the apparent inconsistencies of its motion in space.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: There is no apparent purpose of a Borg cube traveling to Earth in the 24th century. If their original plan was to invade Earth in 21st century, the Borg could have done their time-travel from a safe faraway place, then travel to Earth, or just send the Earth’s coordinates to the 21st century Borg so the latter invade the Earth instead. One possible explanation could be that after incorporating the time machine and weapons, there was no place left in the sphere for warp engines or long range communicator, so the sphere had to be delivered to Earth by a cube. We should also remember that the Borg’s way of thinking is very different from ours. They probably went through numerous plans before deciding that this particular one was the best fr
