“Was perusing the user comments for this u0026quot;Crawford Classicu0026quot; while chuckling u0026amp; guffawing at the varied minutia u0026amp; trivia all the viewers had observed. Yet I was surprised u0026amp; perplexed that no one had pointed out one of the most hilarious continuity flubs ever seen for a u0026quot;legitimateu0026quot; theatrical release. The lapse occurs towards the end of the movie when Joan is descending down to the cave for the final encounter with Trog. As she approaches the downshaft entryway shrouded in her obligatory lab coat, her coif is the usual 20 layers of soft curls piled up at least a foot high over those trademark eyebrows. Cut to her arrival at the bottom of the shaft whereupon her hairdo has mysteriously morphed into a much shorter, much curlier, u0026quot;poodle cutu0026quot;!! Must have been a u0026quot;mid-mineshaftu0026quot; Salon where La Crawford had the opportunity to fluff up her locks. We ran u0026amp; reran this sequence at least a dozen times u0026amp; it got funnier on each replay (Perhaps we were alittle drunk too!). Check it out if you didnu0026#39;t see it the first time around.”
