Audio problem: In the scene where Jack returns to the motel in the morning (after his first night with Stephanie), she's waiting for him on her motorcycle. When Jack goes back downstairs and gets on the back of the motorcycle, the sound effect is that of a revving bike engine, but you can see that Stephanie's right hand (the throttle hand) is not moving at all.
Sideways (2004)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Alexander Payne
Starring: Paul Giamatti, Virginia Madsen, Thomas Haden Church, Sandra Oh
Continuity mistake: When Jack first meets Maya and they are all having a drink at the bar, Maya is holding a cigarette. We can see she is holding the cigarette up near her face when the camera shows her from behind but is all of a sudden holding it near the bar counter in shots of her face. This continues until about halfway through the scene.
Jack: Try to be your normal, humorous self. The guy you were before the tailspin. Do you remember that guy? People love that guy.
Trivia: When Miles is stealing money from his mother he looks at the pictures on her dresser. One of the pictures is of Miles and his Dad. It is actually Miles real dad. Miles is played by Paul Giamatti and his dad is Bart Giamatti former Commissioner of Baseball. That is who is in the picture smiling with Miles.
Question: After Miles accidentally mentioned the rehearsal dinner to Maya, she asked him who's getting married and obviously (though not on camera), he told her Jack, thus starting a big fight with each other. Why did Miles tell her Jack instead of making up a random stranger he could say they knew since already slipping out info about the dinner? She would not have ever known, no fight would have taken place, and Jack would have saved face - literally.

Answer: Miles himself answers this question in the film. He tells Maya that he could have made something up, but chose to tell her the truth because he respected her and didn't want to lie.
