Visible crew/equipment: When Abraham is introducing the roles of what the children are going to play, he demonstrates what Suzette is going to do on the drums and falls back. If you see under him, you see a kind of pillow to break his fall. When the shot changes you see that it's not there.
Selena (1997)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Gregory Nava
Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Edward James Olmos, Jon Seda, Constance Marie, Alex Meneses, Jackie Guerra
Audio problem: When Chris drives up in the truck while Selena is mowing the lawn, Selena asks what he got. While you hear "junk food" his mouth says something else.
Abraham: We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans, both at the same time! It's exhausting.
Trivia: Although Constance Marie plays Jennifer Lopez's mother in the movie, she is only four years older than Lopez.
Question: Pete Astudillo is in the first scene when Selena was at the Houston Astrodome on February 26, 1995. He left the Dinos in 1993. I watched the original video of that same concert and another guy was on stage her, not Pete Astudillo. Was this a mistake or did they just keep it uniform for the movie?
Answer: Pete left in 1993 to pursue his music career. Selena then hired Freddy who was part of the Barrio Boyz. Selena sang a song with them called Donde Quiera Que Estes. Thus when Pete left, Freddy became a part of the Dinos along with Don who also appears in the film next to Pete Astudillo.
