Nitpicks
Despite the fact that Lost Boys is my favourite movie, I do have a few Nit Picks.
- Laddie goes missing. When Michael rides with them for the first time there’s a shot of them riding along the beach, and then a shot on all of them individually. Well, when the do the shot of Dwayne, Laddie is missing. What has happened to him. But panic not, next group shot he’s back. Where did he go for a few moments?
- Star’s top changes while Michael is drinking the blood. Before he drinks it’s got strings down the middle in a criss-cross pattern, clearly shown when they’re walking on The Boardwalk. after he’s drunk the blood, it’s the same one she’s wearing on the first night they meet.
- And another thing, (and this has bugged me for years) you know when Sam says “Lose the earring, Mike. It’s definitely not you.” Sam has an earring. Does anyone else feel this is a tad hypocritical from someone who also has their ear pierced? (And who is Sam to give fashion tips?)
- I’ve found another one. In the scene at the beginning where the Lost Boys are chasing the security guard (Vernon Beasley), it switches from an overhead shot (Lost Boys point of view) to a close up of the guard’s face. In the close ups, he’s holding his hat as he runs for dear life. In the ariel shots he’s not. And they switch too quickly for him to have moved his hand.
