Huge, ridiculous mistake

With the new FF movie about to be released in theaters, I decided to check out some of the IMDb info about this '94 version. I read an article in Starlog (or some similar magazine) about the movie back then, and I was anxious for it to hit theaters. I remember thinking, "Wow, the guy who played The Boy Who Could Fly, Bug (Uncle Buck), and Chip the Robot is Johnny Storm?" Of course, I was disappointed when it never made it to the big screen.
Anyway, I found this online recently about Corman's version. It's mentioned in the Goofs for the movie, and someone else may have already posted this in another thread; but it's stupid-funny enough that I have to share it (but I do apologize if I'm being repetitive):
"Doctor Doom's henchmen come to kidnap Alicia Masters. They sneak up behind her and do the standard 'chloroform rag over the mouth' bit to render her unconscious. And the audience gets to see the standard point-of-view shot from her, seeing the bottom half of the screen covered by the rag and then the rest of the image going from clear to fuzzy to black, to show us what she is seeing as it happens. Pretty standard for numerous low-budget action movies. One problem though. The character of Alicia Masters is completely, totally, and in all ways, blind."
Here's the link to the page that this is on:

Wow, you're right! What a huge mistake!
It's like in that Quentin Tarantino movie where we're looking at those two guys from the trunk, and the trunk doesn't even have any eyes!
You're only as dumb as everyone else. -

I guess you missed the point: It was supposed to be a shot from Alicia's point of view, as if we're seeing things through a human being's eyes, not some inanimate object like a trunk. The mistake was the fact that Alicia is blind so how could anyone "see" through her eyes?
And apparently you also were unable to see the humor in it. But thank you for calling me dumb; that always makes my day. -

Actually, since the eyes are inanimate objects, it is the same thing. Otherwise, if it was actually supposed to be from her view, it would be:
Spray, eyes closed from getting stuff in them, watery eyes if they open.
It was showing what was happening from her position, not necessarily her sight. -

I just copied the quote that said it was a rag from another website; the person that posted it probably either remembered the scene wrong or heard about it somewhere. But if it's actually a guy spraying her in the face, and we see him from her P.O.V., that's even better than just a rag!

I just watched the scene with the goof on my version (bootleg DVD bought in middle-east). Alicia (the blind woman) is checking the recently delivered busts of the four when "The Jewelers" henchmen arrive to kidnap her. After a ?struggle?, she reaches for the phone and one of the henchmen grabs her hand and lifts it from the receiver. The camera pans to look at him and he points an aerosol can and sprays a mist into the lens. The view then switches to the henchmen lowering Alicia because she has passed out.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then it wasn't wasted. -

I'm surprised everyone was able to laugh at this mistake but not notice the one in the description of this goof. "Doctor Doom's Henchmen come to kidnap Alicia Masters" is actually not his henchmen but that "Moleman" guy's (the other villain in the movie) henchmen.
Anyway, this movie's full of cheese and it's amazing
