Continuity mistake: When Patch and his roommate are arguing about why he wanted Patch out of the college, the book on the desk changes to a very different looking book between shots - note the tabs and red-edged pages.
Patch Adams (1998)
Directed by: Tom Shadyac
Starring: Robin Williams, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Monica Potter, Daniel London
Continuity mistake: In the scene following Carin's death when Patch is packing his bag to leave the clinic, his shirt collar is not pressed and is open down to the first button. In the next scene at the hospital, his collar is neatly pressed and open only halfway to the first button. In the next scene on the ridge near the clinic, his collar is once again unpressed.
Continuity mistake: When Patch puts a red nose on, the second kid he amuses randomly swaps from having his head raised to slouched against the pillow; also his arms swap from crossed to uncrossed between shots.
Patch Adams: You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome.
Patch Adams: I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly without complexities or pride. I love you because I know no other way then this. So close that your hand, on my chest, is my hand. So close, that when you close your eyes, I fall asleep.
Patch Adams: So what now, huh? What do you want from me? Yeah, I could do it. We both know you wouldn't stop me. So answer me please. Tell me what you're doing. Okay, let's look at the logic. You create man. Man suffers enormous amounts of pain. Man dies. Maybe you should have had just a few more brainstorming sessions prior to creation. You rested on the seventh day. Maybe you should've spent that day on compassion.
