Trivia: Right at the start of the film, look carefully at the pigmentation around her nipples, then look at the breasts of the women. You can tell who the killer is straight away.

Suggested correction: Pigmentation of the nipples and areolas changes depending upon many factors, including sexual excitement, exercise levels, and the menstrual cycle. It absolutely cannot be used as some form of identification.

Suggested correction: This isn't trivia. It's an opinion.

Continuity mistake: During the infamous leg un-crossing scene when Sharon Stone is being interrogated, a cigarette in her hand disappears and then reappears.

Question: Why did Catherine target Nick? I know he's a big douchebag, but that can't be the only reason right? Was it to get revenge against Beth for once and all for leaving her?

Answer: No definitive answer is given in the film. Catherine didn't need a reason for anything that she did. As for Beth, that was just a bonus, or a coincidence. It could be argued that Catherine targeted Beth, and Nick was just unfortunate to be involved with Beth.

Answer: Because she's insane? And very ill. And dangerous. A pure bred psychopath. She got off screwing with him, his head. She has a degree in effing with you. Beth was just a bonus. Unlucky. Collateral damage. Unfortunate. Catherine was, is a clinical psychopath. She had no reason. Or it was fun for her. She was one twisted broad. An evil dame. (IMHO).
