Production Mistakes I think they Made on the Movie
Shakesthecoffecan:
From the first viewing I started picking up on things I didn't think were quite right, starting with the semi that dumps Ennis in Signal, I thought it didn't seem period, but after numerous viewings I am used to it now.
Jack's use of the word Asphyxiate always seems out of place, as does "commuting" 4 hours a day.
But my favorite is Uncle Harold's disappearing stick of wood off the chopping block.

That one gets to me too! ;)

Ellemeno told me about the dissapearing church steeple at Aguirre's office, but I tend to think that was more of a camera angle phenomena

You are right its not a period truck. I also noticed in the 1980s scenes you rarely see a car its mostly much older than period pickups. All the cars and trucks seem to be from the 60s even in the 80s!! I have worked with both makeup people on this movie a Boyfriend and girlfriend couple team Manlio and Linda, I was shocked that I thought the makeup looked bad to me. They usually do great work. Some scenes Jake G looked like a Raccoon with big dark rings around his eyes almost like he had a darkish eye shadow on him im not sure if it was intentional or not but to me it didnt look right. I also noticed a very heavy base makeup on Heaths face his near his right eye area almost like a heavy covering to hide some sort of skin flaw. I think it looked awful. Sorry Manlio ;D
serious crayons:
I thought the makeup was reasonably convincing. Trying to turn hot 26-year-olds into middle-aged men could not have been easy (though probably easier than the other way around would be ;D). But between the makeup and Jake and Heath's capturing older mannerisms, I can go with it.
