Revealing mistake: In some of the scenes where we see Maggie in the hospital bed, you can see that her breathing is not totally in sync with the breathing machine (i.e. her chest goes up before you actually hear the machine blowing air into her).
Million Dollar Baby (2004)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Hilary Swank, Jay Baruchel
Factual error: It is said Maggie can't breathe on her own after her injury. If this was the case she wouldn't be able to speak, since she can't push air out of her lungs to generate sound.
Frankie Dunn: You wouldn't start training to be a ballerina at 31 now, would you?

Maggie Fitzgerald: I never had any, boss.
Frankie Dunn: Well, I hate to say it, but it shows.
