the italian job (2003) goof?

[VVM]

i was just watching this and in the scene where steve (ed norton) flys past the holly wood sign in his chopper, the sign reads 'ohlly wodo' when we are face on with the chopper.  anyone know why that is?



sorry about the quality, i took a pic of the tv with my phone

Very wierd indeed. What's that above the gap between the Ohlly and Wodo? Looks like a UFO. Ahhh!!

i think i found an answer

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Because the letters of the "Hollywood" sign are on a hill with an uneven, undulating surface, they're not all in the same plane. This means that from some angles it really does look as though the sign says "OHLLYWODO".

That is the explanation, pretty obvious come to think of it.

im not convinced though.

I am - look at the relative heights of the "O" and the "H" and you'll see the "H" is obviously further away...

The biggest goof about that movie was associating it to the Italian Job. If it wasn't for the fact it was called the Italian Job. And the constant references to the Italian Job in it then it would have been an awful, but at least acceptable, film.

Yay.  Now I feel smart.  That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture. I won against no one.
