Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Vangelis's electronic tune "L'Enfant" (from his 1979 Opera Sauvage album), which is featured prominently in "The Year of Living Dangerously", was Hugh Hudson's original choice to be the theme music for Chariots of Fire. It was only after Vangelis finally persuaded Hudson to listen to his new and now-familiar "Chariots of Fire" tune, that Hudson changed his mind.
  • Linda Hunt is the only actress ever to win an academy award playing a man, no cross dressing or gender confusion involved. Hilary Swank (Boys Don't Cry) received the award for playing a biological female who identifies as a man. Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love) received one for playing a woman who was pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): In the sudden storm scene, when Guy and Jillian get into his car to get out of the rain. In the close reverse shot of Guy, water is clearly leaking heavily into the car through a crack in the door or window. But in the shot from behind the front seat of both the characters, there is no leak.
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): Billy's still camera is a Nikon F2 Photomic, which was not released until 1971, while the film takes place in 1965.
