Directed by: Joel Schumacher
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Donald Sutherland, Kevin Spacey, Kiefer Sutherland, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock
Character mistake: The sheriff has his service weapon on him in the cellblock. Whenever law enforcement enters a jail or prison, they disarm.
Character mistake: At the end, the sheriff arrests his corrupt deputy. Why wouldn't he remove his equipment and search him?
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Sandra Bullock character is in the hospital and the nurse revealed to her that Carl Lee was innocent, look carefully at the TV. You can see Jake, Harry Rex and Lucent standing outside the courthouse, but in the very next scene they haven't even left the courtroom.
Jake Tyler Brigance: There ain't nothin' more dangerous in this world than a fool with a cause.
Trivia: In one of the courtroom scenes, the judge refers to Sandra Bullock as "Lois Lane." Around the same time this film was being made, Bullock was heavily considered to play the role of Lois Lane in Tim Burton's Superman Lives, but the movie was canceled just weeks before shooting.
