I was watching the movie "Vertical Limit" the other night and saw the funniest "the-technical-advisor-should-be-shot" error.
Chris O'Donnel (our hero) is supposed to be a National Geographic wildlife photographer. They show him sitting in a blind in Pakistan photographing Snow Leopards witha Nikon F5. so far so good. His assistant drops a roll of film (to show how incompetent the locals are I guess, whatever.) and when he picks it up you can clearly see "MAX" in black on a yellow cartridge. Yeah, a National Geographic wildlife photographer would be using Kodak MAX.... It made me burst out laughing to the point where my wife had to tell me to get a hold of myself.... BTW the movie is horrible. Don't waste your time. It's so fiull of cliche and technical errors/impossibilities! If you want to see a good mountain climbing movie see the IMAX film "Everest" Not only is the "acting" better, it's true. Also read "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer.
