Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • When Hamlet stops the limo after deciding not to kill his uncle, Claudius, he exits at a theater billing the Best Musical of 1998 - the live-action stage version of "The Lion King". "The Lion King" is reportedly inspired by "Hamlet".
  • Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): In the scene when Polonius gives parting advice to Laertes, the reflection of the microphone boom can be seen in the chromium décor of the room.
  • Ophelia removes a rubber duck from her bag. This is a reference to Aki Kaurismäki's version of Hamlet, Hamlet liikemaailmassa, where after the death of his father, Hamlet's uncle controls the board of a company that decides to move into the rubber duck market.
  • Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In his soliloquy, Hamlet says "The undiscovered country to whose bourn /No traveler returns." Shakespeare wrote, "The undiscovered country *from* whose bourn /No traveler returns," i.e. no one comes back from the next life to tell us what it's like.
