Runaway Jury

Deliberate mistake: The investigator on his way to Garner, IN, is actually driving along Interstate I-10 somewhere between Louisiana and Florida. The shot of the freeway sign for "Gardner" is from off I-10 in the Florida panhandle and represents Gardner, Florida. The scene shot in Gardner, IN in front of Rachel Weiss' mother's home depicts the Crescent City Connection bridge in New Orleans. This scene is actually shot in Gretna, LA, on the West Bank of the Mississippi, just across from New Orleans.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Gene Hackman is in the bar, his drink is low, it is then double the original size when the others leave. (01:58:55 - 02:01:00)

Trivia: Everyone walks around the French Quarter drinking Starbucks coffee. There isn't a Starbucks very close to the Quarter. The closest one is also hard to find. When I'm there I usually drink Cafe du Monde coffee while walking around the Quarter.

Question: I know that Jennifer Beals is not exactly a big star right now, but I was still surprised to see her in such a tiny role...does anyone know if she originally had a bigger scene that was cut?

Answer: Jennifer Beals' role is a bit of a misdirection towards the viewer, a little like Janet Leigh in "Psycho". It misleads the viewer into beleiving she might be crucial to the plot.
