Directed by: Beeban Kidron
Starring: Colin Firth, Jim Broadbent, Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant, Gemma Jones, James Faulkner
Continuity mistake: Before the taxi takes Bridget to one of the Inns of Court, Bridget detours to change her clothes, and the taxi driver gives a thumbs up to a dress with a playful pattern. During the following shots, Bridget wears three different dresses with changes to the pattern, though it is the very same style of dress. It's particularly noticeable when Mark excuses himself, then exits the meeting room with Bridget.
Factual error: Bridget appears to be making her first parachute jump. The mistake is that she would not be permitted under UK law to make her first jump the way she does. She would either have to jump with a static line attached to the aircraft, which opens her parachute automatically. Or if she took an accelerated free fall course, she could free fall but she would do so with two instructors jumping with her to steady her and open her chute if she panicked.
Bridget Jones: You think you've found the right man, but there's so much wrong with him, and then he finds there's so much wrong with you, and then it all just falls apart.
Trivia: The fight sequence between Hugh Grant and Colin Firth was entirely improvised.
Question: Given that in the book she's lusting after Colin Firth, but the films star Colin Firth as someone else, does anyone know for sure what's being done? Is it someone acting the part of Colin Firth, or will it be another celebrity playing themselves? Given filming's probably finished by now, there must be a definitive answer...

Chosen answer: While there were rumours that a different celebrity was to be used - George Clooney was mooted - according to Renee Zellweger, that sequence is not in the film.
