Ship crash continuity error

Great film- I went into it with a 'don't expect too much now, but hope for more later' approach. But one thing that bugged me, from the trailers and the film, is that the Juggernaut crashing and rolling has a visual continuity error in it. Watch it again, and you'll see the following; Ship is hit and falls with the 'gun turret side closest to the ground and the 'hammer' turret furthest away. It rolls over, with the hammer side coming down. Just after this Shaw rolls to her right (our left of the screen) and shortly after Vickers is squished. We see an overhead shot of the ship rolling to a stop, with the hammer turret on the right and 'gun' turret on the left. Now I thought the camera had just crossed to the other side of the ship, but then Shaw then looks up to survey the ship standing upright, before it comes down, and low and behold the hammer turret is still on the right and 'gun' turret on the left. But the ship has rolled full circle- so it should be as it fell- hammer turret left and 'gun' turret right. Apart from that- great film.

Another error regarding the crashed juggernaut: Shaw is seen exiting the ship by rope after collecting David's body and head, but shouldn't that part of the ship have been severely damaged by the Prometheus smashing into it? It looked in pretty good nick to me, along with the picture of it when balanced upright before finally crashing down. Strange.

@Gromster Yeah the ship did NOT look as damaged as it should have been... that was a little strange. The Prometheus flew directly into the cockpit area, the Engineer should have died...

You missed the point. The fact that the apparent damage was minimal, speaks to the level of technology used to create it. The ship is disabled, but not completely obliterated, like the relatively flimsy human ship.

After the crash, the Juggernaut dropped straight down, well problem is...it already traveled a couple miles away far across the temple and mountains..but it fell on top of the girls, which were way in front the temple??....dammmm.
