The Pledge

Corrected entry: When we first meet Robin Penn, in the restaurant where she works, her right front tooth is noticibly chipped. When we see Robin at the end of the movie, her tooth is whole. No cosmetic dentistry visits between scenes were mentioned.

Correction: Her ex hit her and a tooth came out. Jerry comments on her new tooth at a fishing trip.

She told her daughter the tooth was capped.

Correction: At about 1:20 minutes into the movie, Robin Penn explains to her daughter that she had a cap put on her tooth.

Corrected entry: Before he leaves for his Baja fishing trip, Jack Nicholson's character sits at an airport bar drinking a plastic cup of Scotch. As the camera pulls away in the next frame, he's shown sitting in front of a tall flute of beer. A few frames later, he's back in close up, nursing his short plastic cup of scotch.

Correction: These shots are split by shots showing TV news coverage, planes leaving the hanger, etc, and are intended to show that significant time is passing as he sits there. His going from scotch to beer and back to scotch is another hint that he's been there long enough to have had several drinks.

Continuity mistake: The Isuzu truck is always dirty - covered with mud, except the long shot of him driving his boat to the lake. The truck is shiny clean, then he's at the lake for a sunny day fishing, but when he drives away (without the boat) the truck is dirty again.
