Continuity mistake: After the cover is removed from Judge Straight's head, the camera shifts to him over 40 times within about 7 minutes and his hair looks different almost every time. Initially, a back view of the judge's head shows long dishevelled hair with some strands above his head. A little later, a side view shows his hair mostly combed (not unruly). The location of his part varies (right side to middle). He may or may not have bang strands dangling; if dangling, the number and direction of strands vary. (00:02:48 - 00:04:40)
American Hangman (2019)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Wilson Coneybeare
Starring: Donald Sutherland, Vincent Kartheiser, Oliver Dennis
Genres: Thriller
Plot hole: The judge was reading from a newspaper that had "New York" and 2015 on the last page, suggesting this is the movie's setting. The article states, " The murderer of the Jeeter girl was executed this morning..." (six years after his conviction in 2009). New York's death penalty was ruled unconstitutional in 2004 and 2007 and is considered abolished. (Although the law remains on the book, it cannot be implemented until/unless it is revised/ rewritten to be constitutional). (00:16:11 - 00:33:28)
Henry David Cole: We're both done. It says so on cable news. So it must be true.
