Tonight we caught a movie called Eagle eyes with Chong Yee and Kris Bather. Had dinner at Kabuki because Chi was full and Makan Makan was close, i think because of the Hari Raya.
I shall review the movie in a couple of days but i think the movie was not too bad, abit like diehard but of course cannot compare to having bruce on the screen.
The movie probably could do much better if they had bigger name stars but with dreamwork behind the scene it would not be bad at all. If you are a movie buff like me, sometimes i like to actually sit back and think if what happens in the movie really makes any sense
It does make watching movie more fun, especially when you realise some factual and actually funny goof of the movie. If you have not watch eagle eye here are some things to watch out for.
GOOF - EAGLE EYE
- Revealing mistakes: The music played by the children's band includes several loud cymbal clashes, but there is no cymbal player in the band.
- Continuity: During the first chase scene, when Racheal is driving the black Porsche with Jerry, the glass on the driver side door repeatedly changes from cracked to normal to severely cracked.
- Factual errors: The gun Rachel takes off the dead soldier inside Eagle Eye is a Glock 19. The U.S. Military sidearm is a Beretta 92.
- Factual errors: The scene supposedly set at the Dayton, Ohio Airport features a Hawaiian Airlines 767. Hawaiian doesn't fly east of Phoenix.
- Factual errors: When Evan is shown in the computer control room he is wearing the Army's ACU uniform rather than the correct Air Force ABU which is distinct by the shades of blue and its retro tiger stripe pattern. As the movie is set in 2009 an Air Force Officer working at the Pentagon would never be allowed to wear the wrong uniform to work.
- Continuity: The SUV Rachel is driving during the car chase has a 6-speed manual transmission, making it a Porshce Cayenne GTS. Though in one shot of the rear of the car, the "Cayenenne Turbo" badge is seen.
Goofs below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.
- Factual errors: SPOILER: The sound-activated bomb detonator in Sam's trumpet is set to activate when it detects a sound of a particular frequency. The "Operation Guillotine" mastermind has set the detonator to activate when it detects the second F above middle C, with the intent that the bomb explode during the word "free" of the first verse of "The Star-Spangled Banner" (assuming the anthem is played in B-flat major, as it is in the film). The script writers apparently fail to realize that this note occurs earlier in the melody, at the point corresponding to the words "red glare." A bomb set to detonate when it detected the note in question would have exploded at that point in the melody, especially given that Sam's trumpet part has the melodic line throughout the performance and already played the note. In the film, however, the band and Sam play that part of the melody without incident.

In the scene when Jerry and Rachael are on the bus approaching Dayton International Airport in Ohio, the airport which is shown in the scene in actually Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, WI.
As they are driving into "Dayton International Airport", it's actually the entrance to Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport. It's easy to tell by the signage, tower and trademark display airplane by the parking garage.
