Rent

Continuity mistake: When everyone goes into the diner the entrance/exit is on the left side, but then Roger and Mimi leave on a different side of the building and then come back in on the same side they left originally.

Continuity mistake: When Mark and Roger sing the lines, "You're wasting your time, we're broke. And you broke your word, this is absurd." None of the burning papers from the song "Rent" can be seen on the sidewalk. But before and after this portion of the song, they are visible.

Continuity mistake: After Collins gets the keys in the street he is asked for a light. Another guy comes up and grabs his bag. Collins pushes him and runs. The bag is on the ground and one of the people attacking him picks it up. In the next shot Collins is running with his bag back in his arm. (00:06:30)

Factual error: One of Angel's lyrics (in "Today For You, Tomorrow For Me) refers to the movie "Thelma and Louise." Rent (the movie) is set in 1989-90. "Thelma and Louise" was released in 1991. This was caused when they did the move from Broadway to the screen. The stage show did not specify the year. So when they adapted the stage show to the movie, they didn't check the references. Plus it just sounds cool. (00:28:25)

Mark: To days of inspiration, playing hookey makin' something out of nothing, the need to express, to communicate. To going against the grain, going insane, going mad!

More quotes from Rent

Question: Is Collins a homosexual? Because he loves Angel as a woman but Angel is actually a man. So is he gay because he loves a man or straight because he loves a woman?

Answer: He is homosexual. He loves Angel as a person. Albeit, a person who is a man that dresses like a woman.
