Audio problem: When they go to celebrate Seth passing the Series 7, Richie asks who ordered the beer and another character asks what's up. Richie says, "What's up, I hate Bud" but his lips are saying something else.
Boiler Room (2000)
1 audio problem - chronological order
Directed by: Ben Younger
Starring: Vin Diesel, Giovanni Ribisi, Nia Long, Scott Caan, Jamie Kennedy, Nicky Katt
Other mistake: In the scenes after Giovanni Ribisi is arrested, his looks are constantly changing. In scenes where he is talking to Vin Disel his face is very fat. When he walks by Abby's desk he is thin again. If you get Boiler Room on DVD you'll see an original ending where Ribisi is thin all the way through the end of the movie; Because Giovanni was preparing for a film that required him to gain 30 something pounds, the scenes that needed to be reshot for a different ending are very defined.
Richie: Get the fuck out of here before I put you in a mayonnaise jar.
Question: Anyone in a sales floor realizes that if you have a lot of people in one room talking at the same time, there's background noise. Yet only one or two people have active noise canceling headsets. Everyone else uses handsets. Either everyone should or no one should. Why the difference?

Answer: I spent some time as a telemarketer (my apologies to anyone I may have called) and only certain people got headsets. They were used as a reward for top closers. Everyone else had to use handsets in a room similar to the one in the movie.
