Continuity mistake: When Ana and Christian are having sex on the dining room table, she drops Christian's pants below his butt. Scene cuts and Christian's back is shown, with his pants above his butt. Then cuts back and they're below again. (00:54:40 - 00:56:50)
Fifty Shades Freed (2018)
Directed by: James Foley
Starring: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Arielle Kebbel, Luke Grimes
Character mistake: When Anastasia has to make out the 5 million dollar check to "cash" to get the money to release Mia, she signs the check with her old last name, "Anastasia Steele" instead of "Anastasia Grey", which is written on the top left corner of the check.

Suggested correction: A key point in the movie is how Christian is upset that she didn't take his name in her work life, so it wouldn't be unreasonable that she signed the check using her maiden name (it also could have been just as easily a force of habit thing, it does take time to get used to using the correct name!).
Other mistake: During the Honeymoon Montage at the beginning of the film, there's one moment where Christian and Ana are on The Fair Lady boat and Ana's wearing a spaghetti strap shirt/dress and Christian's wearing a blue denim shirt. This would if not later on in the movie we see Ana slipping on this shirt and Christian in the blue denim shirt, AFTER the montage scene even though it hasn't happened yet. This is even more evident by a deleted scene - The Hickey/Apology Scene - which takes place just before Ros called to tell Christian and Ana about the fire at GEH. So, basically, they wore these clothes before it was actually shown in the movie.
Anastasia Steele: You may call me Mrs. Grey.
Christian Grey: You insist on defying me, Mrs. Grey. What should I do about that?
Anastasia Steele: Learn to live with it.
Christian Grey: Good morning, wife.
Anastasia Steele: Good morning, husband.
Question: I've only seen this movie once so far and I haven't read the book yet, so my question is, what exactly happened in the scene where Ana said one of the safe words for the first time? I don't really understand what made her say that; was Christian teasing her too much or something?
Answer: He was trying to make her understand how she made him feel whenever she broke a promise (usually about her safety) by punishing her and it became too much, too intense. She also felt like it was revenge instead of love.
Question: When did Ana become pregnant? I know she was 6-8 weeks pregnant when it was announced, so would she had been pregnant before the wedding/honeymoon or after?
Answer: The movie's timeline is not clear, but in the book, it happened during the honeymoon, way before the next Depo shot was due, so it's not because she forgot or was negligent of it. The shot ran out too early, which is rare, but it does happen.
Question: Originally Christian says that when his biological mother overdosed he was taken to the hospital which is where Grace, his adoptive mother finds him. Then near the end of Fifty Shades Freed, they see the picture of the foster family where he and Jack were in the same foster home in Michigan. How was he in a foster home in Michigan, if Grace took him and adopted him when he was at the hospital?
Answer: Christian mentions he was in and out of foster homes for various periods of time before his mother overdosed and died. She had likely cleaned up enough to where Christian was returned to her custody, but she then reverted to her old ways and became involved with an abusive man before overdosing. Christian then met Grace at the hospital.
