Red Dragon (2002)

Corrected entry: Why does Dolarhyde's house explode suddenly when it's on fire? It's not as if he keeps vats upon vats of chemicals or gases in there. It's just a cinematic effect to look cool. It should just keep burning steadily without exploding.

David Mercier

Correction: While the other correction isn't valid (something from the book can't explain away a movie mistake), it's entire possible that a gas line in the house went off in the blaze. That has happened in real life, and it can be pretty dramatic.

TedStixon

Correction: In the book, his safe is full of explosives. I can't recall if there was some visual reference to this in the movie.

Red Dragon (2002)

Corrected entry: When Ralph Fiennes is in the Brooklyn museum, and hits the woman showing him the painting, over the head, you hear the sound before he actually hits her.

Correction: I concur with the other correction. Just loaded up my copy and the sound definitely plays right when contact is made.

TedStixon

Correction: I don't know if there is a delay glitch with whatever medium you watched this on, but I watched this film on Netflix and the sound of her getting hit in the head happens in sync with the blow itself.
