Their two "ghosts" appear standing still within the roof, right on the ridge line near the top.
They're not in a running pose anymore, more like perfectly standing still.
Whatever animation software they're using to generate the running sequence probably ended and the characters returned to a default standing position and accidentally faded back into frame.
Almost all crowds and people from a distance in film and TV are CGI. This is probably just a misplaced or extra keyframe that brought their opacity back up over 0% for a second.
Is this really a mistake? Or are we just being too nitpicky about editing?
I mean, if it takes zooming in that much and going frame by frame to actually notice something, I wouldnāt really count that as a mistake.
Noticed when watching the film and had to pause. Kind of surprised they didn't see it in the edit as my eyes immediately noticed it haha. Added a brief red square to show initially where on screen it is. After they're both buried, they slowly and barely fade in before the shot cuts.
Note that the video above is playing at a slower speed. At normal speed it's very difficult to notice. Timecode in the film is at 1:41:14 if anyone wants to see it.
I struggled to notice it even zoomed in and slowed down. Had to watch twice. If this is the worst mistake they made on their tiny budget, they did a fucking great job.
WTF???
It's like they tricked us into thinking those people were buried under the rubble!!!
Can't even believe what you see in movies anymore, sheesh...
Thereās also a good scene where Godzilla is walking thru Ginza and on one of the steps he raises the floor and you can see people bounce from it. Itās crazy how good the attention to detail the producers did on this film.
I went to a screening of this movie with a producer & director Q&A after. Apparently the main graphics guy was a 20 something whiz kid who showed a minute long clip of Godzilla walking through water as a proof of what he could do. The production then asked him to do the entire movie, in 8 months, and the poor kid cried. He did his BEST yāall. Iāll forgive him many more frames of ghosts for the incredible work he pulled off.
No lie, I had to watch it twice to see it. Are we really this nit-picky? It's a split second at the bottom of the screen and it doesn't majorly disrupt the story of the movie. CGI is very expensive, maybe they did see it, but decided not to remove it.
The sub is called movie mistakes haha. I'm just sharing cause I noticed and found it interesting and thought others would ask well. I'm not bashing the creators of the movie or anything.
All good, I didn't mean to sound that harsh, just that some of the posts lately have been bashing the movies and it became somewhat exhausting. Please don't take it personally :))
Thank goodness they're OK

How do you even see this
A nice 4k tv and a good attention to details.
Yup - I sit too close to a 65" 4k OLED
And autism
š
Accidentally looking at the exact correct spot is a possibility tooĀ
An absurd amount of free time and nothing to do is my best guess.
For the edit above yes, otherwise I'm too busy in life lol
He's got a thing for feet
Nice catch. To be fair they still did an amazing job with the effects in this movie - especially with the budget restrictions.
10000% agree.
Agree. Much deserved Oscar win.
The secret with VFX is knowing what you can get away with
That's just their spirits floatin' on up
Thatās not a mistake. I think itās canon that they were ghosts.
Iām not seeing this at all

Do you think they're fully digital characters or were just shot in a blue screen?

Good question, judging from the repetitive running animation I would guess digital? Or at least motion-capture animated and looped.
[āI really hope soemone got fired for that blunder.ā](https://youtu.be/JQH2rmQ5-vk?si=kTwfVLqFxmb7Ycod)
This movie was actually very enjoyable.
Thank goodness they are fine.
Remove the Oscar.
It cost $15m vs $135m for Godzilla x Kong; I think slightly janky fx in a few frames can be forgiven.
Take back the award. Literally unwatchable.
Its their spirits in shock what just happened to them.
Itās their force ghosts, definitely Star Wars fansā¦
Thats just the federation making a daring rescue
Even with it slowed down and zoomed in I had to rewatch this clip a couple of times to catch it.
Literally unwatchable.
Fuckin GOTTEM! somebody better lose their job for this

Itās posts like this that lead to the psychotic bloated manipulative and exploitative vfx that happens in the USA and hollywood

Bruh, their ghosts decided to just chill on the roof
Had to save on the budget somewhere!
That would hurt so bad
It's like the film had a 15M budget.
Less than that actually
I loved this movie
+Assist +Assist
Who cares. Fantastic movie made for 15 million and no star power
Just a little bit of movie magic.
Wtf??? Who runs in a straight line?????
Souls peacing out.

Theyāre ghosts now. This makes perfect sense.

I often forget that movies are just exported videos with crazy edits.
G-G-G-GHOST!
They got the award already. They ain't giving it back.
Thatās their souls leaving the mortal realm donāt you know
Its their ghosts
It was their souls keeping up the momentum...
take back their vfx oscar
Turn it into minse meat.
Are you even enjoying movies at this point?

The only thing I did not like about this movie was that it was minus one Godzilla for too long.
I would watch hours of that stomping footage, so satisfying
Personally this kills the realism for me and i feel betrayed. Never watching this shit again.
Some people have way too much time on their hands.
Revoke that Oscar
Your level of unemployment is so fck impressive, bravo
Movie was terrible.
There is no way you wouldnāt hear/see this dude coming from miles away. Why are they getting stepped onš«Ø
I still canāt see it
oh I remember that scene. Totally reuined it for me after seeing that.
shhhh. you are gonna get someone fired š
*kicks trashcan* FUCKINā EMBARRASSING!!!!
The ghost
They win an Oscar. Worked hard and felt good about their accomplishment... And there's this guy to point out mistakes. Very kind of you.
Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but it's literally the whole point of this subreddit to share stuff like this...
This is the first post I've had from this sub show up on my feed. I'm so happy it will also be the last.

Chill bud it's /r/moviemistakes, not /r/thismovieistrash. This is a mistake.
Sorry, didn't mean to sound that harsh.
It was such a shitty movie
Literally unwatchable
Wow. Movie ruined. Literally unwatchable now
