Nitpick Description


Submitted by Nitpicker : 41508
Movie : Iron Giant, The - 1999
Nitpick Category : Scientific Fact
Nitpick Number : 62274
Approximate time of Nitpick : 3/4 of the way through
Summary : Magic foot rockets
Detail : after the giant falls off the cliff, Hogarth in hand, and his foot rockets kick in for the first time just before they fall into the ocean, he ascends skyward and we next see a view from behind Annie as she runs to the cliff to see what's happening. As the giant ascends massively past Annie, the rocket exhaust smoke seen trailing beneath him actually drifts UPWARD, when it would not be physically possible. That exhaust should be driving downward in order to propel the giant upward. And Annie should be blasted away and probably roasted to a turn.
