Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Michael Ballhaus, the film's original director of photography, had to drop out after becoming ill during pre-production. Director Jon Avnet chose Karl Walter Lindenlaub as the replacement because he was impressed by Lindenlaub's work on Rob Roy.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): Tally, said to be reporting for WFIL, holds a Channel 7 microphone. WFIL was actually Channel 6. (Note: WFIL's call letter subsequently changed to WPVI, still channel 6 in Philadelphia.)
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: After the party where Tally finds out Warren is dead, Tally and Warren's ex-wife are at the airport where the casket is brought (they're both in dark colored tailored suits). Right after that, we see a scene with Tally and Ned, where they are wearing the same clothes that they were wearing at the party, while Tally sits at a desk in her apartment.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): When the film was made, in 1996, the idea that a TV crew inside a prison could beam images from a 'portable' transmit unit (let alone return audio to the journalist from the TV truck), was pure imagination. Even modern-day portable units cannot break through concrete and steel - especially the amount that one would find in a prison.
