Grosse Pointe Blank

Plot hole: It makes no sense that Martin would be getting the invitation to the reunion mailed to his office (or to anywhere else.) He's had zero contact with the alumni committee, and they're not going to hire a private detective to find him. He also doesn't have contact with anyone else from his hometown who might have forwarded it; his father's dead, and his mother's not in her right mind. There's no explanation for why it would have ended up there except for needing to set the plot in motion.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Blank gives Debi an aeroplane ride on his feet, he takes off his cap to lie on the bed. When he gets up to leave the cap appears in his hand without his ever retrieving it from the bedpost where he hung it.

Question: Grocer contacts the G-men to tell them that Blank is arriving by plane. Is that his own car he is driving around town, or are we to assume that he rented a car exactly like his own? If it is his car, how did it get there if he flew?

Answer: Given that Blank and Grocer both drive identical black Lincoln Town Cars throughout the film for some reason, that would be a reasonable assumption that they would also hire the same car model wherever they go.
