The Machinist (2004)

Factual error: When Trevor is struck by the VW Beetle, not only is he not thrown forward along the Beetle's path, he actually lands well behind the point of impact - more than half the length of the parked van. He doesn't bounce off another object that changes his direction. He's just thrown up, then falls rearward above the car. (01:08:35)

Revealing mistake: After Trevor is hit by the VW Bug, the arm he lands on disappears partially into the street, making the CGI obvious.

Trivia: Peppered throughout this film, especially in the suspense scenes, is Bernard Hermann's music for the film "Psycho."

Trivia: When Trevor is following Ivan through the tunnel, he reads the number plate out as 743 CRN on the red Firebird. When the shot changes to Trevor's pickup, the number plate reads NRC 347. Could this be a clue to a mirror image twist?

Trivia: Christian Bale dropped approximately 60 pounds for the role, going from 180 to 120, by eating a diet of one can of tuna and an apple a day for months. This is the most weight ever lost by an actor for a film role. Within 6 months of this film he then put on 100 pounds to play Batman in Batman Begins. He actually gained so much weight he was too big for the batsuit and had to drop 20lb for filming.

Stevie: Are you okay?
Trevor Reznik: Don't I look okay?
Stevie: If you were any thinner, you wouldn't exist.

Ivan: Oh, no. You look like you seen a ghost.
Trevor Reznik: Funny you should say that. The guys at work don't think you exist.
Ivan: That's why I can't get a raise.

Marie: Trevor, is someone chasing you?
Trevor Reznik: Not yet. But they will when they find out who I am.
