| Goofs | In the hilarious scene where Mabel gets dropped in the mud puddle, and where she splashes around getting out/up, she is clearly soaked. Immediately after, when Harry McCoy rolls up in the race car, Mabel runs up to him, and despite some splashes on her dress, she is more or less dry. See more » |
