Blow

New this monthQuestion: When George Jung went to Mexico to buy the marijuana, he flew that plane back to California, but then later he was arrested in Chicago with 660 pounds of marijuana. Did he go back to Mexico a second time and get another big load of it and fly to Chicago? When he was in prison talking to the class, he said he flew it in from Mexico and was arrested in Chicago, and somehow he was sentenced in Connecticut.

Question: Considering how small her role was (in relation to the film's running time), why did Penelope Cruz earn second billing behind Johnny Depp?

Chosen answer: A star's screen time does not equate to what position they are billed at on a film. It generally relates to the selling power of their name. The film's main star would obviously be Depp. Cruz however would still be higher than people like Liotta, Reubens, etc. as her name is more known. It also helps with selling the film to audiences than just a one actor film.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie just after Johnny Depp makes his last run of drugs back, he is seated at a table with a curtain at his back. The curtain is split open and if you look close you can see someone standing behind the curtain - their hands are clasped together. Then as Johnny Depp goes to the bathroom and comes back the person is still there then he quickly walks away as Johnny Depp sits down.
