The Rules of Attraction (2002)

Continuity mistake: In the split screen scene when Lauren removes Sean's sunglasses, you can see that after the shot pans outward where both are facing each other, they are actually several feet apart. There is no way she could have reached his face from where she is standing. (00:37:01)

Continuity mistake: When Lauren and Lara share cocaine in their dorm room, Lara's face starts out clean. After a few quick cuts between the girls, her nose is dusted with white powder. There is another quick cut to Lauren and back to Lara, and the powder is gone, before she has had a chance to wipe it off or move.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Paul and the guys are taking the suicidal boy into hospital, the reflection of the boom microphone can be seen in the window to the right of the hospital entrance door.

Trivia: Christian Bale declined an offer to reprise his role of Patrick Bateman from "American Psycho."

Trivia: When Sean Bateman answers the payphone call from Paul, he asks if it's Patrick calling. Patrick Bateman was a character from American Psycho, which was made by the same production company. Also, Patrick Bateman was Sean's brother in the novel.

Lara: How do I look?
Lauren: You look kind of skinny, actually.
Lara: Skinny, really? Bulimic skinny or anorexic skinny?
Lauren: What's the difference?
Lara: Bulimic skinny passes for healthy, except your teeth rot. But my teeth aren't rotting, so.
Lauren: So you look bulimic skinny.

Lauren: Abstinence is 100% safe, which is less of a percentage than.
Lara: Whatever, I don't care, I don't major in math.

Mrs. Mimi Jared: And what classes are you taking... Dick?
Dick: Ummm, gangbang 101, Freebase Tutorial, and Oral Sex Workshop.
