Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie Frankie/Rory's (Brad Pitt) mother is serving the dinner. She gives them all dinner except herself, and then sits down. Then the father says the prayer, and when he does that you can see the whole table, and there is food on the mother's plate.
The Devil's Own (1997)
Directed by: Alan J. Pakula
Starring: Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, Rubén Blades, Margaret Colin
Continuity mistake: Throughout, but most noticeably when outside Harrison Ford's wife's real estate shop, there are green leaves on the shrubs/trees...they drive a short way to their home and there is snow around and no leaves on the trees. It keeps changing seasons.
Continuity mistake: They're having a party at Tom's (Harrison Ford) house about half way through the movie. Sitting on the table is a 2 litre bottle of Pepsi with the new logo. The scene's supposed to be taking place in 1993.
Tom O'Meara: The killing's got to stop, Frankie.
Rory: Then you'll have to kill to stop it. Get's a bit complicated, doesn't it?
Rory: You're a stupid man, Mr. Burke. You only see me standing between you and your money. You're forgetting about the thousand men standing behind me. That's a mistake.
Tom O'Meara: I understand why he's doin' what he's doin'. If I had to endure what he's endured - -if I was eight years old and saw my father gunned down in front of my family - -I'd be carryin' a gun too, and I wouldn't be wearin' a badge.
