The Wizard is an NES movie, a very good one at that. This guide does not suggest that this movie is infact a bad movie. It's just added as sort of a hailing article and it shows that I have seen this movie way too many times.

1. The plane at the begining of the movie makes two passes in the same direction rather quickly.

2. The lights on the police curser at the beginning of the movie light up without the officer doing so

3. The nature program at the "home" changes voices form the time that Corey walks in to the time that he picks up Jimmy

4.Corey rests at the bus station, he lets Jimmy play Double Dragon. The game is already playing and the game even selects it's own mode by itself!

5.The joystick and button movements do not match the Double Dragon game being played.

6.Jimmy starts the game by using the joystick and buttons during the fisrt cinema scene of Double Dragon.

7.When you finish a level in Double Dragon some "cheery" music sounds. The music plays after you beat the last person. Jimmy was pulled away from the machine and the music sounded after about 10 seconds.

8.Jimmy gets 50,000 points on level one (!) later in the movie Jimmy is on level three with about 28,000.

9.Corey makes a bet with Haley to get some cash, Haley makes it to level three and dies. Jimmy then starts on that same level.

10.If you'll draw your attention to the bottom right corner of the game screen you'll see that Jimmy has all ready beaten that score. It takes Corey about 35 seconds before he realizes that Jimmy had won.

11. Did I mention that the sounds for DD were way out of sync?

12.Later, in some sort of resturant, Jimmy is playing Ninja Gaiden. Haley is giving the blow by blow of Jimmy's actions. She says he hasn't even taken a hit yet when two pieces of the lifebar in the upper right corner are missing.

Hailey abruptly opens a magazine to an add for Video Armegeddon. The Nintendo logo is white!!

9.The bounty hunter (Mr. Putnam) hired to bring Jimmy back pops the tires on Sam Woods (Corey's father) truck with a knife. Mr. Putnam defends himslef with the same knife and drives off. When the truck is in the shop for getting new tires, the grease monkey pulls the knife out of the front tire. Wonder where that came from?

10.Before Putnam got away, we see Sam smash the right headlight twice!!

11.Meanwhile, Nick (Corey's brother) is busy playing Super Mario Brothers 2 on the NES that he hooked to a TV in the garrage. For some strange reason a pipe sucking sound from SMB 1 is heared when there are no pipes in SMB 2.

12. Sounds are out of sync here too.

13. We see the threesome getting out of a truck with a Native American family in the back. This same truck is seen later in the movie.

14.Later in the movie, Corey, Jimmy, and Haley meet two salesmen playing SMB. They are hard at work moving the joystick and pushing the buttons when Mario is going down the flag and the fireworks are going off.

15.Later the game F1 dream is encountered in an arcade. Is this an NES game?

16. Lucas's Power glove beeps strangely.

17. Also, the program for Rad Racer requires one less beep.

18.When watching Lucas play Rad Racer with a Power Glove, the sounds on Rad Racer are a little out of sync.

19.Nick and Sam end up in a hotel on the high way. Nick decides to whip out the NES and play Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles. He hooks up the NES very quickly, puts the game in, turns on the system, and turns on the TV. Strangely, the TV plays when the NES is on.

20.Sam decides to play the game and there is a mysterius sound after he swings the sword for the third time.

21.In Reno, Nevada, when beig thrown out of the casino, Corey loses his back back and it appears later in the film.

22.Haley calls the Nintendo Gameplay Counsilers and when the offices are shown, all of the games are playing themsleves. Strange...

26.Jimmy practices in the arcade for a while. In Mega Man 2 the arm cannon makes a strange sound.

27.In Metroid, Samus makes a strange sound when she lands on the platforms.

28.Speaking of Metroid, isn't this game a little too long to put in an arcade.

29.Playing SMB 2, the sound when Mario pulls up a vegitable is replaced with a diffrnt sound.

30.Ditto for the throwing sound.

31.In Contra, the first boss is making a machine gun sound that isn't in the game.

32.Sam's truck is shown in the backgound when Mr. Putnam is on the phone. The tree in the back of the truck is missing.

33.When Sam and Nick pull into a resturant, Mr. Putnam gets Sam's truck towed via bribe. A trucker at the junkyard says he towed it when there was a diffrent person in the truck when the bribe is offered.

34.Putnam makes it to Reno and is looking in a casino fo rthe kids. I thought only adults were alowed in a casino.

35.Sam is playing Zelda 2 at the junkyard. He says he is in the 6th palace, when the overworld music is playing.

36.A shot of the TV shows us that Sam is accualy inside of a town when playing.

37.The river devil is encountered after the 6th palace.

38.The magic cross is in the 7th palace. The movie mistakes it for the 6th.

39.Nick propmtly unplugs the controller and the system shuts off. Usualy the power shuts off it the power cord is unpluged but no, it had to turn off after the controler was unpluged.

40.Corey says that Haley finding a house is like Link is finding Zelda in the Adventure of Link. Wrong, in the AoL Link needs to wake up Zelda, not find her.

41.Mr. Putnam, looking for Hailey, calls for information and asks them her address. Wait, doesn't information base it's searches on where the adults, not kids, live?

42.The three finally make it to Vidoe Armegeddon. Jimmy walks away from Ninja Gaiden and the game plays itslef!
