Corrected entry: There is a scene after Verbal describes Keyser Söze where Kujan leaves the office and discusses with the cops the fact that Edie was meeting with a lawyer. Kujan asks "Kobayashi?" and the other two cops nod agreeingly, including the one who apparently knew that she met with a lawyer (and presumably who the lawyer was). However, how could she have met with a lawyer named Kobayashi if we find out that Verbal got the name Kobayashi from the bottom of Kujan's coffee glass at the end?

The Usual Suspects (1995)
Corrected entry: The beginning scene has Keyser wearing a hat, which you see when he climbs down the stairs. However when the artist's drawing of Keyser gets faxed to the police station, you can see the whole of his hairline drawn true to life. How would the Hungarian know what his hair looked like if he was wearing the hat? The first scene isn't part of the made up story. (00:04:25 - 01:37:25)
Correction: Keyser takes the hat and coat from the room where he kills the informant - they can be seen hanging up there. The Hungarian witness must have seen Keyser before he found the informant, hence was able to describe his hair.

Correction: A lawyer meeting with a group of known felons on behalf of a criminal mastermind is hardly going to be stupid enough to be using his real name - Kujan's experienced enough to know that Kobayashi is an alias. The police have found out that Edie Finneran is in town meeting with a lawyer. Kujan's not asking if Kobayashi was the name; he's asking his colleagues if they think that this lawyer could be the mysterious Kobayashi that Verbal mentioned. They're agreeing that, in their opinion, they could well be one and the same person.
