Factual error: Otisville Prison was not in the direction Monty's father was driving. He said he would take the Henry Hudson Parkway north and later continue on the Taconic Parkway. The Taconic runs due north toward Massachusetts on the east side of the Hudson River. Otisville is 30 miles west of the Hudson.
25th Hour (2002)
Directed by: Spike Lee
Starring: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rosario Dawson, Edward Norton, Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, Barry Pepper
Visible crew/equipment: Monty and his father get into the car to go to the prison. When the father says "Them hooligans sure gave you a licking" a red mike appears at the top. (01:52:00)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie where Monty is looking at his old school photo, look closely at his beard. In the next scene when he's in the classroom talking to 'his old friend' his beard has a completely different shape.
Trivia: While filming a fight scene, Barry Pepper accidentally broke Edward Norton's nose.
Trivia: In the scene where the DEA is searching the flat there is a cordless telephone from Bang & Olufsen (Beocom 6000), with the phone placed incorrectly on the base. The phone is located next to the stereo. The phone is placed with the keypad facing the camera and not away from it as it is supposed to. This is also indicated by the LED on the base which is red, indicating that the phone is not charging, the LED would have been green if the phone were placed correctly.
Jakob Elinsky: What do we say to him?
Frank Slaughtery: We say nothin'. The guy's going to hell for seven years, what are going do wish him luck?
Kostya Novotny: Monty, I have beautiful woman, very nice.
Monty Brogan: Yeah, well, I'm not really in the mood for that. I've got a nice girl.
Kostya Novotny: I know, I know. Tonight is a special night. Last night as free man. I pick her out special, just for you.
Monty Brogan: The last girl you picked out special for me had three teeth, all in the back.
Uncle Nikolai: This is my advice to you: When you get there, figure it out who's who. Find the man nobody's protecting. A man without friends. And beat him until his eyes bleed. Let them think you are little bit crazy, but respectful, too. Respectful of the right men.
Question: Wasn't the plan that Monty's father thought about actually bad, at the end? I mean, even if Monty started a new life far from New York and his friends and family and never got recognized, his father would be arrested when coming back to New York. Suddenly him and his father disappear and later on his father gets back to New York, a little bit suspect no?

Answer: Monty's father was suggesting they go into hiding together. He was not suggesting that he would take Monty out west and return to New York himself.
