Continuity mistake: When Annie is dancing around at the bar, the way the scene is tightly cut makes some minor mistakes with where she is in the room. For example, at one point, she is in front of one kidnapper, but then is immediately in front of the next kidnapper between shots. There's a few other little small moments like this throughout the scene. It's hard to notice because of the tight framing, but it's there.

Continuity mistake: When Ryan and Sarah are looking at the clue card that says "Look in Your Jacket Pocket," pay close attention. In the closeup of the card, there's some stuff right behind it, only inches away. Then it cuts to a wideshot, and you can see that there's nothing right behind it. The only things on the table are about a foot away.

Continuity mistake: When Ron, the actor playing the "FBI Agent," is explaining what happened, watch his hands. They go from down to up between shots at one point.

Continuity mistake: When Max notices Brooks through the doorway at the bar, Annie is sipping Max's drink then starts to set it down. The camera cuts to a different angle, and suddenly she is sipping his drink again and puts it down a second time.

Continuity mistake: When Annie and Max are chatting at the bar, watch Annie's arms. (She is leaning against her hand.) In the shots facing her, her red sweater is sticking out of the sleeve of her jacket. In the shots facing away, her red sweater is NOT sticking out of the sleeve of her jacket.

Continuity mistake: When Ryan shoves the table under the doorknob so Kevin and Michelle can't get out of the obvious, pay attention. In the wideshot, you can see that the table is a good 4-6" under the doorknob. Then it cuts to a closeup, and suddenly the table is only about 1" under the doorknob.

Continuity mistake: When Annie and Max are talking about the first riddle and Annie is googling it on her phone, she goes from looking up at Max to looking down at her phone between cuts at one point.

Revealing mistake: When Brooks throws the kidnapper against the poster case and then punches him, it's painfully obvious his punch didn't connect. His fist is a good 6-8" away from the kidnapper's face. But they still play a punching sound effect and act like he got punched.

Continuity mistake: When Max gets punched by the kidnappers when they first break in, watch Annie. Her hands go from down on her knees to up playing with her necklace between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When the actor playing the FBI agent is handing out the folders, and Max sarcastically asks if the FBI wants them to solve the kidnapping, watch Max. He goes from looking at the actor to looking down at the table between cuts.

Audio problem: When Brooks and Max trade places during game night and Brooks taunts Max by calling him "Pretzel-boy," watch closely... Brooks' mouth isn't moving, revealing the line was added in post.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: While Brooks is telling the embarrassing story about Max trying to give himself fellatio, he says the line "He couldn't unhook himself!" Instantly between cuts, his hand goes from up in the air to down by his waist.

Continuity mistake: When Kevin and Michelle tease Ryan about "needing the validation of Instagram models, " watch closely. In between shots, Kevin and Michelle are instantly looking in different directions and doing different things. (Ex. Between shots, Kevin goes from facing Ryan to facing down, and Michelle goes from holding her own drink to pouring a different drink for Kevin).

Continuity mistake: When Ryan and his date sneak into Max and Annie's house, Ryan knocks over some plants, spilling dirt all over the counter in front of it. It briefly cuts to Max, and when it cuts back, Ryan has put the plants back upright but almost all the dirt has vanished from the counter. It's totally impossible for him to have cleaned up all the dirt in the mere second-or-two that passed between shots.

Continuity mistake: When Max and Annie are talking about whether to invite Gary to game night, after Annie says that Gary has got worse after his divorce, Max turns and looks at her RIGHT before the shot ends. But in the very next shot, suddenly he is facing down and away from her.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Gary points out that Max and Annie have three bags of Tostitos chips, watch the bag in Max's hands. Before Gary says his line, everything is pushed down relatively far, with only the very top few inches of the chips and some celery visible. After Gary's line, when it cuts back to Max and Annie about two seconds later, suddenly the chips and celery are all sticking much higher out of the bag.

Trivia: William Hurt had numerous and constant conflicts with the director over the creative vision of the film, and the fact they could not communicate well due to a language barrier. Hurt also alluded to the fact that his notorious reputation (being very difficult to work with perfectionist who obsessively tried to inhabit his characters) may have contributed to their antagonistic relationship. Despite this, the film and Hurt were met with critical acclaim, and Hurt earned an Oscar for his part.

Trivia: Despite being considered an important piece of film history and being an Academy Award-winning film, "Kiss of the Spider Woman" is notoriously hard to find in many countries (including the US) due to nightmarish rights disputes. It was only available on disc for a brief window, has gone through multiple decade-or-more stretches without any official release and is unavailable to stream legally.

Continuity mistake: In the opening montage, when Chucky is rebuilt, they show his shoes being tied. About a minute later, when the CEO and his assistant enter the room, you can see one of the tech guys tying his shoes in the background... even though they were already tied.

Trivia: The doll's eye in the very first shot was actually quite huge. The prop was several feet wide. It was more practical to build an oversized prop for the shot than try to meticulously get the shot with the regular-sized doll's eye.
