Factual error: When Elektra closes her cell phone on McCabe, a dial tone can be heard. Cell phones don't have dial tones. Even if they did, Elektra hung up, so nothing would be heard.
Elektra (2005)
Directed by: Rob Bowman
Starring: Jennifer Garner, Goran Visnjic, Will Yun Lee, Kirsten Prout, Kirsten Zien
Revealing mistake: When Elektra attempts to resurrect dead Abby, you can see Abby's chest rising and falling.
Continuity mistake: When DeMarco lifts his glass to look at Elektra you can see there's no meniscus where the liquid hits the glass. When it cuts to a close-up of the glass there now is. (00:05:55)
Trivia: Ben Affleck actually filmed a scene with Garner as a cameo of his "Daredevil" character Matt Murdock. But because they were in a romantic relationship at the time, the studio wanted to avoid any "Affleck/Garner" type publicity and cut the scene.
Trivia: While filming a sai/sword fight, Will Yun Lee accidentally sliced Jennifer Garner's knuckles with his sword. After Garner got her knuckles patched up, and they resumed, Lee subsequently sliced her again in the exact same spot.
Trivia: An "Elektra" movie was almost made in the 90s by Oliver Stone of all people. He wanted to do a film titled "Elektra: Assassin" that would have followed Elektra battling The Hand, and he wanted professional volleyball player Gabrielle Reece to play the titular character. When the rights to Daredevil and Elektra were sold to Fox, Stone left the project due to the complications of working with different studios and producers.
