Deliberate mistake: While Hector is in the water with the crocodile, he yells to the female officer to start the helicopter by turning the key. It takes a lot more than just the key to start a Bell Jet Ranger helicopter. Fuel shutoff valve, throttle, key, and the main rotor doesn't start rotating until the throttle on the collective stick is turned to a specific position.
Lake Placid (1999)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Steve Miner
Starring: Bill Pullman, Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt, Bridget Fonda, Betty White
Visible crew/equipment: When the sheriff is listening to Betty White regarding how her husband dies and they begin descending down the stairs you can see the boom mic above the sheriff's head.
Hector Cyr: She tell you that we had sex together? So vigorous!
Kelly Scott: I never had sex with you!
Hector Cyr: I'm horrible in bed. They never remember.
Trivia: In the scene with Fonda and Gleeson reaching the morgue to look at the tooth, you can hear in the background a page for Dr Miner. Steve Miner directed the film.
Question: Bridget Fonda says to Bill Pullman that if he calls her ma'am one more time, she'll sue him and that she can do it. What laws would he have been breaking?
Answer: When I saw this, I thought that it was just a subtle Ally McBeal reference. The guy, David E. Kelley, was the one responsible for giving us the aforementioned telly show.
Answer: None. She's just bluffing and being hyperbolic to assert her point.
