Continuity mistake: When Margot is telling the story about how she lost half her finger it shows her putting the log up to be cut and it shows her left hand on top of the log. But when the shot moves out to show when her finger gets cut off, her right hand is suddenly on top of the log.
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
Plot summary
Starring: Gene Hackman, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Bill Murray, Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke Wilson, Anjelica Huston
Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three child prodigies before they separated - Chas, a real estate trader in his early teens - Richie, a junior champion tennis player and Margot, who received a $50,000 grant for her ninth grade play. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault.
