Goofs

There are numerous inconsistencies between the map shown in the beginning of the movie during the narrator's introduction of New Penzance, and the two maps shown later in the movie when Troop 55 rows across the Cold-Water Strait and when Scoutmaster Ward sends a message to Fort Lebanon. The map in the beginning of the movie shows that there are no islands in Stone Cove, but the later maps do have an island; the size, shape, and position of Belgian Hours change in the later maps compared to the first map; Lily's Look-Out, Polish Prince, Treasured Indian Grip, and St. Jack Township are labeled farther east on the first map compared to the later maps. There are also many coastline inconsistencies between the first map and the later maps.

The Island Police car is a 1968 Plymouth. The movie is set in 1965.

When Scout Master Ward enters Sam's tent at Camp Ivanhoe, he discovers that it's empty and that Sam has left via a hole in the side of the tent. The hole is covered by a map, but it's taped to the inside of the tent. If Sam had actually left via the hole, he would have no way to stick the map to the side of the tent, and if he had left via the tent door - which was zipped with the zipper-pull on the inside - there would be no reason for the hole in the first place.

Faq

Q

Why doesn't anything happen to Sam after the lightning hits him?

A

The harmless result is part of the movie's not-quite-realistic style, like an old Warner Brothers animated cartoon. This cartoonish style is also evident when the junior scoutmaster rescues the senior scoutmaster by jumping an impossible distance. The movie is not meant to be taken 100% literally... it has an exaggerated-campfire-story vibe throughout.

Q

What is the song that plays throughout the film?

A

Alexandre Desplat wrote the score for the film and created variations of "The Heroic Weather-Conditions of the Universe". These are the songs that can be heard throughout the film in scenes with Suzy and Sam. The complete list of songs can be found here with their corresponding scene descriptions.

Q

What songs play during the trailer?

A

The choral song is "Cuckoo!" composed by Benjamin Britten, the French song is "Le Temps de l'Amour" by Françoise Hardy and the classical music is from "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" composed by Benjamin Britten.
