Character mistake: Nikolai is driving Anna home after the bike went kaputt in the rain, outside the restaurant. Anna towards the end tells him to "take the next right." Both Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortensen are looking left, and keep their eyes there. (00:28:25)
Eastern Promises (2007)
1 character mistake
Directed by: David Cronenberg
Starring: Naomi Watts, Viggo Mortensen, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Aleksandar Mikic, Josef Altin, Mina E. Mina, Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse
Continuity mistake: When Anna handles the diary of Tatiana over to Nikolai at the fast food restaurant, Nikolai's right hand does not have the big tattoo.
Suggested correction: I don't think I can confirm this mistake. The hand that takes the diary in close-up is the left one, and when he uses the right hand, the tattoo is there. It's a faded tat to begin with, so if the streaming quality when you watched it was not optimal, it may be a detail easy to miss or that blurs out with compression noise. But it is there.
Anna: Why are you doing this, why are you helping us?
Nikolai Luzhin: I can't become king if someone else already sits on the throne.
