Character mistake: At one point Michael J. Fox says he doesn't want to end up in Danbury Correctional, why not? The Federal prison in Danbury CT would be a dream come true since he would be the only male inmate, as it became all-female in 1993.
The American President (1995)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Rob Reiner
Starring: Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Michael J. Fox, Martin Sheen
Continuity mistake: When the President comes home, right before Sydney tells him that he lost her vote, he is walking up the stairs and unbuttoning his jacket. However, in the next shot, he goes to kiss his daughter, and his jacket is buttoned again.
Lucy Shepherd: Do you see it as part of your job to torture me?
President Andrew Shepherd: No, just one of the perks.
Question: I have a question about the scene where Sidney receives the ham from the President. At the theatre I believe someone read the note aloud, but my video cut that part. Does anyone know what the note said?
