Revealing mistake: Near the end, when Eliot enters Frank's office with his rifle, he accidentally shoots into the ceiling. He shoots it at a slight angle, but the rubble falls right on top of his head instead.
Scrooged (1988)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Richard Donner
Starring: Bill Murray, John Glover, Karen Allen, John Forsythe
Continuity mistake: When Frank sees what he thinks is the Ghost of Christmas Future in the elevator, he flips out and accidentally clocks Grace in the jaw. She puts her right hand to her face, but in the next shot she's holding her left hand up.
Ghost of Christmas Present: Sometimes you have to slap them in the face just to get their attention.
Trivia: When Frank throws water on a waiter he thought was on fire, he apologizes and claims he thought the waiter was Richard Pryor. This is a reference to the time Richard Pryor, while doing cocaine, set himself on fire and ran down a busy street in L.A.
Question: What are the girls doing when they throw Grace's son onto the kitchen floor? Why are they harassing him, and why is their grandmother enjoying it so much?
