Italian Job (Remake) Ridiculous Scene?
I know that when making a video, detail is sometimes important, and when I watched the Italian Job (the remake one, which I'm posting here the scene I wanted to show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZwUHa8er7A&feature... if you watch the video at 9:31 (or when the helicopter is in front of the Hollywood sign, you might noticed that HOLLYWOOD is misspelled as "OHLYWOOD", but in the next clip it's spelled "HOLLYWOOD"... What explanation is there?

It's an optical illusion. As you can see from this aerial photo: http://binged.it/AbSHVo shot from the side, the large "H" in the Hollywood Sign is located significantly farther back on the hillside than the large "O", which is situated farther ahead than the remaining letters. As a result, when viewed at the right side-angle, you can see the letter "H" in the space between "O" and the "L", making it look like the letters have been rearranged. Rotate the camera more to the front of the sign, and the proper sequence becomes obvious: http://binged.it/x4NVlb

Because the letters of the "Hollywood" sign are on a hill with an uneven, undulating surface, they're not all in the same plane. This means that from some angles it really does look as though the sign says "OHLLYWODO".

Sometimes they leave in continuity errors just so people like you have the wonderful experience of 'discovering' them.
