Production Mistakes I think they Made on the Movie
Cameron:
I have one that is bugging me lately. I think that everyone agrees that the dozy embrace had to happen at the very end of the time up on the mountain, when Jack and Ennis were at Camp Site 2, or at least I think people do and that is what makes most sense.
But if you look closely at the background during the whole dozy embrace scene, the scenary looks much more like Camp Site 1. There is no strange white wooden thing, no stream, no bridge.
It dosn't make sense, or did they think it wouldn't be noticed?
Or am I mistaken?
Front-Ranger:
Actually dozy embrace (flashback scene) must have happened when they were in the second camp, because Ennis had to leave to go up with the sheep.

Yes, that's what I thought. But if you look real carefully at the film, it looks like the DE was fillmed at the first campsite. it dosn't make sense except that Ang and co. got lazy or somethng.
And another one. During the 'I aint queer scene' the sheep are visible in the backgroud by the trees. But according to the Finding Brokeback site that scene was filmed at a completely different mountain than all the other scenes. So the sheep pasture are in that scene looks totally different that the sheep scene just before that. It obviously isn't the same place, even though it is supposed to be. That bothers me.
Or am I going overboard 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.

I always thought of this as part of Jack's charm...picturing him reading Time and Life to get a feel of the world outside of his little corner of the world...and to appear more educated and worldly!!

Oops! I mean peanuts -- the jars in the grocery store that magically right themselves after spilling on the floor.
--- Quote ---As for the pie, if you mean Ennis's piece of apple pie in the bus station coffee shop, I've tried to spot a problem with that and I can't.

OK, you got me here, too. I've heard about the pie but to be honest am not sure I've actually seen the discrepency with my own eyes.
But here's one I have seen with my own eyes, and I've never seen anybody else mention it. During the "happy tussel" after TS2, I see a mule start to walk out from behind a bush, and then what appears to be a man step out and pull the mule back behind the bush. If you're in doubt and want to take a close look without putting in the DVD, check out the scene in "4 Nights in 20 Years":
