Continuity mistake: In the very first scene the cigarette's distance out of the box varies from shot to shot.

Continuity mistake: When Mark is forced into Romey's car, the garden hose in the window keeps disappearing and reappearing depending on the shot.

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film, in the diner, when Reggie Love is giving Reverend Roy the location of the senator's body. The camera switches back and forth between the two as they are talking. The ballcap Roy is wearing is backward, but in each scene, it is on a different place on his head. Low on forehead, high on forehead, and then back again. It's especially noticeable because of the amount of hair showing.

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie when Reggie and Mark are hugging for the last time, Reggie's hands change position between shots.

Continuity mistake: When the hitman threatens Mark in the elevator he pulls the alarm causing the red lights to come on, but when he turns the alarm off and gets out of the elevator the red lights are still on.

Continuity mistake: In the early part of the movie, when Johnny Sulari is talking to Barry "The Blade" in his office, in the picture windows behind them a large barge can be seen carrying cargo that is passing by on the waterway in the background.

More quotes from The Client

Trivia: In the movie, Reggie comments on Mark's Led Zepplin t-shirt, saying they were a great band. Mark accuses her of being one of those adults who pretends to like cool bands to get close to little punks like him. This parallels an incident where Brad Renfro was reading for the role of Mark, and a suit in the production office saw his Megadeath t-shirt and claimed to like that band, too. Renfro said the same thing to the producer that Mark eventually says to Reggie in the film.

Question: When Reggie is negotiating with Reverend Roy and tells him that Marks mum wants a walk-in closet, Roy responds with "Walk-in. Is that hyphenated?" Although I gather that Roy was being sarcastic, I still have no idea what that comment means. Any help would be great.

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: Meaning is the word walk-in hyphenated.... walkin or walk-in.

Answer: I saw his question "Is walk-in hyphenated?" as a touch of humor.
