QUOTE (2112-Rob-2112 @ Apr 1 2006, 02:03 PM) In mtf i found a realllly big screwup during the movie...theres a couple i found but this one is great.
During the movie when De Niro is pulling out of the focker driveway in his big trailer they show it driving away from the side with stiller and everyone like yelling at him to come back...if you look at the reflection of the vehicle you can see all the camera men and tents and stuff....its hilarious.
