why was there was only 7 reindeer??


i seen movie few times? and every time i see reindeer scene there are only 6 plus ruldolph (i assume? cause in front by himself and thought rudolph was mentioned in movie?) but missing 2?? there was 8 plus rudolph? so should have been 9 instead of 7? why was this error made??

I just watched it again and felt the same thing. I saw it on HBO so I couldn't pause it but it looked like there were only 7 reindeer.

There was a lead reindeer and three sets of two. Fred mentions Rudolf when they fly through the Pepsi billboard with a picture of Santa on it and Fred yells "shake it off Rudolf" and Willie says "You sure you've never done this before? because your flying just like a professional... who makes a lot of mistakes".

Fred also mention one of the others reindeer to Willie after Willie falls on a table while trying to dance and is embarrassed in front on Charlene. They're in their bunk beds and Fred tells a story about how Donner couldn't fly the first time he tries.

Other than those two none of the other reindeer are mentioned.

Ya your right, like i also said, they mentioned Rudoulph i belive twice at least? So ya if you count him, they are missing 2 and i do have DVR box now (finally) and have seen since and there are only 7 counting Rudoulph. So ya why they wouldnt have all the reindeer in the movie doesnt make sense to me? (and they have Rudoulph in the group, but not 2 of the original 8, that seemed even stranger to me) Im pretty sure even 5 yr olds can name all 8, plus Rudoulph, so why they would leave 2 of them out confuses me also, guess they were sick or was there a sudden passing of 2 of them we have not heard about? (god i hope not) And i dont of you caught also, (mentioned this on another topic) but K. Spacey (Floyd?) shows Santa what Fred was doing on the "Snow Globe" when he was marking every single kids report "good" (so it obvisouly it could show past events) but yet Santa never used Globe to check into too what happenend to all those papers Floyd shredded? He had to be curoius bout what happend to all that paper work, yet never thought of looking into what happend to them? Movie had its moments, but just few errors that seemd like they could have been corrected easily. But glad you noticed also, thought i was going blind or all those songs i been hearing my whole live were wrong? God i hope all 9 are ok? ha
