Corrected entry: Rachel's and Sy's idea to perform at the Mayan took Frank by surprise. Later, when the situation escalates, he makes his escape though a secret side door (not the "official" back exit where he sends Tony), where earlier he had directed the driver with the limo. As he hadn't even heard of the club before and as he had no chance to check it out while they were there it's not quite clear how he acquired this detailed knowledge of the location. (00:38:25)

Corrected entry: It doesn't make any sense that Portman places a bomb in the boat as his only target Rachel was the least likely to take a round on the wintry lake.
Correction: I actually believe the bomb was intended to kill Frank so that Rachel would be an easier target. There is a scene of Frank teaching Fletcher how to use the boat. Portman probably assumed that Frank would take Fletcher out on a ride.
This is exactly what I felt, too. I don't think the goal was to specifically kill Fletcher. He would've been an incidental casualty.
Correction: He put the bomb in the boat to hurt Fletcher, as this would hurt Rachel.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Rachel stops her jogging and asks Frank for a date she has her natural skin color. In the last shot of the scene, when she leaves, her face has the almost Michael Jacksonian off-white make-up which is more typical for the rest of the movie. (00:44:30)
Correction: That's because she was running, when you run your cheeks flush.

Corrected entry: In the fight in the kitchen Frank pins Tony down with a chair and sits on it. It's obvious that the bar between the legs of the chair is a few centimeters above Tony's throat, therefore, his choking sounds are not really justified. (00:40:55)
Correction: The choking sound is only the first time when he initially places the chair to pin Tony down. Also Tony Scibelli is tired after Kevin Costner took him down, the sounds are not all choking sounds.

Corrected entry: There's a certain inconsistency about Rachel's popularity. Earlier in the movie some admirers recognize her in the street in spite of her sunglasses and ask for autographs and to be photographed with her. A little later just the announcement that she would show up in the Mayan makes people go crazy inside and outside the club. But in the date scene nobody in the bar even glances at her, the totally undisguised Academy Award nominee. (00:22:55 - 00:46:50)
Correction: No not really. Remember Whitney Houston's character travels in different circles than Frank. The bar they go to is very working-class with the beer and hotdogs being served and all. I am watching the movie now and she even says to Frank "your type of place your type of music" It is entirerly possible that she may not be recognized.

Corrected entry: In the scene in Frank's basement Rachel does some fake attacks with the sword. You hear the usual, movie-typical whizzing sounds which could be produced by a martial artist but not by the rather slow Rachel. (00:53:45)
Correction: I have seen this film a few times and I was always under the impression that Rachel herself was making the whizzing sound, not that it was an added sound.

Correction: He would have talked to the manager of the club and learnt about all the different exits, as it is his job to know all the different exits and make plans for an escape so he can put them into action, if needed.
