    HamletGoofs

    • 5 entries
    • 0 spoilers

    Factual errors

    In the fencing bout on the rooftop, Hamlet and Laertes are dressed in modern foil fencing gear (with electric vests) but use épées instead of foils.

    Audio/visual unsynchronised

    When we first see Claudius speaking, his mouth is obviously saying something other than what we hear. It lasts for about five seconds.

    Crew or equipment visible

    In the scene when Polonius gives parting advice to Laertes, the reflection of the microphone boom can be seen in the chromium décor of the room.

    Boom mic visible

    In Gertrude's bedroom, just after Hamlet kills Polonius, a boom mic is reflected in the windows.

    Character error

    In his soliloquy, Hamlet says "The undiscovered country to whose bourn /No traveler returns." Shakespeare wrote, "The undiscovered country *from* whose bourn /No traveler returns," i.e. no one comes back from the next life to tell us what it's like.
