“Up in the Air” Goofs List
- Factual errors: They show next-generation business class seats (i.e. NGBC) in an MD-80. The MD-80 is AA’s oldest plane in service, is in the process of being retired, so AA would certainly not spend the money to refurbish those planes with these modern seats. In addition, they require a wide-body plane to accommodate their size, and the MD-80 isn’t big enough. (Not the plane in the movie shows two aisles of traffic, where the MD-80 only has one lane.)
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Ryan and Natalie are in the airport on the ‘people mover’ they are standing on the left side. A seasoned traveler would know that you stand on the right and walk on the left. (Plus, a seasoned traveler would never just stand on the ‘people mover’.)
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In one scene, Ryan is upset with his assistant that his next rental car will be a Dodge Stratus. His assistant tells him he is trying for a Chrysler Sebring. In fact, the Stratus and Sebring are essentially the same car. It would have made more sense to ask for a Chrysler 300, a more luxurious model than either of them.
- Continuity: When Ryan gets dropped off after leaving the school, we see him walking inside with the hood of the car still in place, in the next shot, the car is gone.
- Errors in geography: When Ryan and Alex are in the airport in Northern Wisconsin, the sign at the departure gate for Chicago shows “O’Hara” not the correct spelling “O’Hare.”
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When pictures of Ryan’s sister and her fiance’s cardboard cutout are taken at sites of interest, you can see the hand of the person holding the photo. When the pictures are displayed, even Ryan’s, the hand of the person holding the cardboard cutout has disappeared. However, the photos were taken using a digital camera. The clone tool and other techniques could have been used to “photoshop” the hand out.
- Errors in geography: The shuttle bus for the Miami Airport Hilton does not cross any bridges (in this case MacArthur Causeway) going from the airport to the hotel. Hotel only provides complimentary shuttle to/from airport, not nearby destinations
- Factual errors: In a couple of rental car scenes, Ryan is seen handing his credit card to an attendant, and in one scene asked (as he drove off) for his #1 Club Gold Card. Hertz #1 Club Gold members generally do not have to show a credit card or their #1 Club Gold card – they just walk right to their car, get in, and go. Hertz has their credit card info on file, and when they return the car, they are simply handed their receipt – there is nothing to sign for.
- Continuity: When Natalie is firing employees in Detroit over video the user interface on her screen changes back and forth. The video controls and file menu bar switch back and forth.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): (At 1:12:03) When Ryan, Alex and Kara (Ryan’s sister) meet, Alex and Kara are seen handshaking as they meet for the first time. Alex uses her right hand shaking hands with Kara’s left hand.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Bingham enters the Admirals Club, he is known to the person at the desk and waved in, but she still would have needed to swipe his card, which she didn’t.
- Factual errors: The scene in which Ryan is in an airport in Detroit is clearly filmed at the McNamara terminal (as can be determined by the iconic fountain and the signs for Continental at one of the B gates). However, it’s made very clear in the movie that Ryan only flies on American, and American doesn’t have gates at the McNamara terminal (it uses the North terminal).
- Errors in geography: When Ryan is giving his second “What’s in Your Backpack” talk, he is said to be in Miami, but the podium identifies a hotel in Wichita. (Not Kansas City as previously stated.)
- Continuity: In the scenes where they crash the tech party, Alex enters wearing a lavender satin blouse and then is shown partying in a black v-neck sweater.
