Revealing mistake: When Ricky and Bobby knock the fishbowl over while fighting, you can see it separate into two clean halves before it even falls. (00:40:05)
Made (2001)
Directed by: Jon Favreau
Starring: Vince Vaughn, Famke Janssen, Jon Favreau, Joe Goossen
Continuity mistake: When Vince Vaughn's character gets busted for talking on the "job phone" (in the beginning), he hangs the cordless onto the receiver (wall-mounted). The next cut back to him shows no handset, only the receiver.
Suggested correction: When he hangs up the phone, it remains hung up on the wall receiver for the rest of the scene. The phone can be seen several times before the scene ends. The way you can tell is this: when the phone is off the receiver, there is a stripe of grey duct tape holding the receiver to the beam. The phone does not have any duct tape on it, so when it is hung up on the receiver, the duct tape is no longer fully visible, because the handset is covering it.
Other mistake: Towards the end of the scene in which Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau are arguing in front of the penguin exhibit, as Vince Vaughn gets rolling with his speech the movement of his lips fails to jibe with the soundtrack.
Trivia: If the final scene of the movie (at the birthday party) seemed a little "off," that's because it was shot by a different cinematographer. Jon and Vince weren't satisfied with previously shot endings, and agreed to give up their entire salaries for the whole movie, in order to pay for this ending.
Trivia: Not too noticeable until you read the credits. One of the guys getting a lap dance at the party is played by Tom Morello (RATM guitarist), the other by Jon Silverman.
Trivia: The girl in the ceramic shop is Jon Favreau's ex-girlfriend. His break-up with her was the inspiration behind the movie "Swingers."
Ricky Slade: We don't wanna talk, we wanna scream at people, but we don't wanna listen or problem solve and that's what's frustrating about the fucking dynamic of the group.
Ricky Slade: Excuse me, what, you don't have to hit me. Excuse me.
Bernardo: What?
Ricky Slade: I'm sweeping, you don't have to hit me with your whip. What do you have a horse outside, don't hit me with the whip please.
Ricky Slade: Excuse me Honey, umm, where the drinks are concerned, is that a hidden tax? Does that fall under complementary up front service as well or is that something you pay for?
Flight Attendent: Oh no, no, they're complementary. Would you care for another one?
Ricky Slade: They're complementary?
Flight Attendent: Yes.
Ricky Slade: You bet your ass I would.
