Visible crew/equipment: Early in the movie we see Edward on the phone talking to Jessica. As Edward says "goodbye Jessica" we can see the reflection of a camera crew member squat down to the floor. This can be seen near Edward's right shoulder.
Visible crew/equipment: After the failed shopping trip, the manager takes Vivian to his office, and lifts a chrome pot to water the plant. The film crew can be seen in the reflection on the pot. (00:42:40)
Continuity mistake: When Vivian is taking a bath and singing that song, the Walkman is lying on the right side of the tub, with its wires resting along the edge of the tub. When it cuts from Edward back to Vivian, the Walkman is in a different place and the headphone wire is in the water.
Edward: What makes you think I am a lawyer?
Vivian: You have that sharp, useless look about you.
Question: Is there any particular reason Julia Robert's dress was changed from the blue and white dress she wears at the beginning of the movie to a black and pink version of the same dress on the movie poster and film/disc cover? I've always wondered why - there's really no reason for the change.

Chosen answer: Posters are usually designed long after the film has been made, and by the marketing department. Decisions about the outfit may have been based solely on what was considered best by the marketing department (for instance, to match the color of the lettering in the title.) Also, Julia Roberts' head has been super-imposed onto a model's body in the poster image (just as Richard Gere's hair has been darkened). These are all creative marketing decisions.
