I haven't seen anyone mention this one.
When I saw Mask, there was one scene which was entirely
flipped left for right! In the next-to-the-last scene,
Cher gets a phone call from Rocky's school asking her why
he isn't there. She goes into his room and finds him still
lying in bed. In the film up to that point, Rocky's bed has
been on the right side of the screen. In this scene, Cher
sits down on the bed to see if Rocky ok. The bed, however,
is now on the left side of the screen! Everything else is
also a mirror image. As further proof, there is a wooden crate
next to the bed, and the logo on it is backwards.
I am astounded to think something like this would get past
the editors. More outrageous mistakes have been made in the
history of the world, though.
Has anyone else seen this. Was it that the cinema's copy broke
and was spliced backwards? Wouldn't that wipe out the sound track?

The second time I noticed that the bed was "repositioned" in this scene. I thought it was strange but wasn't observant enough (probably the tears) to realize it was a mirror image. I had asked a friend about it and she thought I was crazy. Thanks for letting me know I'm not. Rea Simpson {dual, gymble, sun, mordor}!lll-crg!simpson
