Audio problem: When Sally's friend turns up the volume on the TV for the debate, the volume doesn't go up as many "notches" as it should, because she raised it quite a bit.

Other mistake: Sally is supposedly drying off a newly delivered puppy (looks like a yellow lab). Besides the fact that a vet wouldn't take a newborn from its mother unless there was something wrong, this puppy is dry, its eyes are open, and it looks about six weeks old.

Answer: His decision to retire wasn't related to this film; it just happened to be his last. He was working on other projects (mostly writing), and wanted to focus on those. He didn't "officially" announce his retirement from acting until 2008.

Answer: As the other fine answers indicated, it was multiple reasons. An additional one was his health. Hackman said his doctor told him his heart wasn't healthy enough to withstand the stress and physical rigors involved in filming movies.
