Revealing mistake: When Hallie is about to pierce Annie's ear, Annie puts the apple underneath her earlobe and Hallie puts the needle in - you can clearly see that Annie's ear already has a hole in it. (00:40:39)

The Parent Trap (1998)
Plot summary
Directed by: Nancy Meyers
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Lindsay Lohan, Natasha Richardson, Elaine Hendrix
Pre-teen identical twins Annie and Hallie
Nick Parker: You two help Meredith.
Meredith Blake: Sure you'll help me. Right over a cliff, you'll help me.
Hallie Parker: Not a bad idea.
Annie James: Yeah, see any cliffs?

Trivia: The actor who plays the boy accidentally placed at the all-girls camp is Lindsay Lohan's brother.
Question: When Hallie and her mom are on the way to the studio, they are showing crossing the street. On the road behind them, the white lines are zigzagged at the beginning. Why are they like this?
Answer: They are crossing on the zebra crossing on Abbey Road in London. The Zigzags are a warning for drivers that the crossing is near. They serve as both strict 'no parking' and 'no crossing the centre line' warnings.
