Goofs

  Miscellaneous: When Cameron pulls over to the street corner to let Anthony out of the car (after their run-in with the police,) you can see Anthony's legs getting out of the car. Then they are back in the car talking and only then does Anthony get out.
Continuity: When Daniel is leaving his daughter's room after the cloak story scene, he pauses at the door to look at her. The light switch is in the down position and the lights are on. We see the daughter in bed with the lights on, and then cut to Daniel about to leave the room where the light switch is still down, and he pretends to flip it down as the lights go off.
Revealing mistakes: Partway through Officer Ryan's rescue of Christine from her overturned SUV, the camera ran out of film, as evidenced by film sprockets appearing in the frame. This is an acknowledged goof from director Paul Haggis.
Crew: When Daniel comes in to speak with Farhad after fixing his lock, two members of the production crew can be seen attempting to hide behind one of the store shelves in the bottom-left corner of the frame.
Continuity: When Officers Ryan and Hanson pull Cameron and Christine over, Officer Hanson turns his light on while still in the car. When they are out of the car, his light is off, but in a later shot the light is on again.
Continuity: In the part where Officers Ryan and Hanson pull Cameron and Christine over, towards the end of the scene when Officer Ryan walks back to the driver side, a shot is seen of him entering the vehicle. When a later, wider shot takes place, Officer Ryan is seen leaning inside the vehicle from outside, and then opening the door and entering the police car.
Continuity: When releasing the illegal Asian immigrants from the stolen delivery van, the internal cage door is open. In the next shot, it is already closed when the outer van doors are shut, even though nobody closes the cage.
Fact errors: Kim Lee is not a Korean name. It is just a mixture of two family names. When Koreans use the two words for a name, they use different pronunciations. Common pronunciation of the words are Geum and Yi.
Continuity: SPOILER: When Peter is shot by Officer Hanson, his eyes are facing forward. Later, when Graham sees Peter, his eyes are looking up at him.
Continuity: In the beginning when Graham is examining the shoe with his pen, he touches the top near the laces. Later, when the movie comes back to this scene and he is examining the shoe, his pen touches a different part.
Continuity: When Daniel is putting his daughter to bed, her pastel quilt twice changes position from the periwinkle patterned side to the square and rectangle side.
Continuity: SPOILER: After the Persian store man discharges his weapon on the girl, the next scenes clearly show that the revolver's hammer is still cocked and ready to fire. The shocked store man would have had to manually re-cock the weapon again for this to happen.
Revealing mistakes: When Officer Ryan is helping his Dad in the bathroom, he pulls down his Dad's underwear but when Dad sits on the toilet he is still wearing his underwear, [you can see the elastic band].
Continuity: When Graham is investigating the Conklin shooting, the blood stain pattern and bullet hole position on the Mercedes window is different between the pan out view of the dead driver and when Graham approaches the vehicle and picks up the gun.
Fact errors: When the gun store clerk is listing the "types" of bullets that will work in the gun, he says ".45 long Colt". This is a caliber not a type and too large a caliber to fit this revolver. A later closeup of the box of ammunition confirms the gun is a 38 special.
Continuity: When the Persian is holding the locksmith at gun point, the daughter runs out the door, the door swings and stays open. The next shot, the mom runs to the closed door. Next shot the door is back open again.
Revealing mistakes: The police cars have subtle difference from real LAPD patrol cars. The real cars will have "To Protect and to Serve" on the door, to the right of the City Seal. The cars used this film have "To Serve and Protect" and its writing is to the left of the city seal.

Quotes

  [first lines]
Graham: It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you
know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody
touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we
miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we
can feel something.
Shereen: They think we're Arab. When did Persian become Arab?
Lara: [referring to the impenetrable cloak] He doesn't have it!
Elizabeth: [confused] He doesn't have what?
Rick: Fuck! Why do these guys have to be black? I mean, why? No
matter how we spin this thing, I'm either gonna lose the black vote
or I'm gonna lose the law and order vote!
Karen: You know, I think you're worrying too much. You have a lot of
support in the black community.
Rick: All right. If we can't duck this thing, we're gonna have to
neutralize it. What we need is a picture of me pinning a medal on a
black man. Bruce? The firefighter - the one that saved the camp or
something - Northridge... what's his name?
Bruce: He's Iraqi.
Rick: He's Iraqi? Well, he looks black.
Bruce: He's dark-skinned, sir, but he's Iraqi, his name's Saddam
Hassif.
Rick: Saddam? His name's Saddam? Oh, that's real good, Bruce. Yeah,
I'm gonna pin a medal on an Iraqi named Saddam. Give yourself a
raise, will you?
Anthony: You wanna get killed, nigger?
Cameron: [punches him] Say that again, man. Call me nigger again.
Anthony: You stupid motherfucker.
Anthony: Come on now! This is America. Time is money.
Anthony: Listen to it man. Nigga this, Nigga that. You think white go
around callin' each other "honky" all day, man? "Hey, honky, how's
business?" "Going great, cracker, we're diversifying!"
Cameron: [after Christine's been molested] Who are you calling?
Christine: I'm gonna report their asses, sons of bitches.
Shaniqua: [talking on the phone] Mr. Ryan, your father has been to
the clinic three times in the last month. He's been treated for a
urinary tract infection that is by no means an emergency. Now, if
you have any more questions about your HMO plan, why don't you make
an appointment to come in between ten and four, Monday through
Friday.
Officer Ryan: What does my father do about sleeping tonight?
Shaniqua: I don't know. I'm not a Doctor.
Officer Ryan: I wanna talk to your supervisor...
Shaniqua: I am my supervisor!
Officer Ryan: Yeah, what's your name?
Shaniqua: Shaniqua Johnson.
Officer Ryan: Shaniqua. Big fucking surprise that is!
Shaniqua: Oh!
[Shaniqua hangs up]
Graham: Well, fuck you very much. But thanks for thinking of me.
Jean: I want the locks changed again in the morning.
Rick: You what? Look, why don't you just go lie down, huh? Have you
checked on James?
Jean: Well of course I've checked on James. I've checked on him every
five minutes since we've been home. Do not patronize me. I want the
locks changed again in the morning.
Rick: Shhh. It's ok. Just go to bed, all right?
Jean: [interrupting] You know what, didn't I just tell you not to
treat me like a child?
Maria: I'm sorry Mrs. Jean. It's okay?... I go home now?
Rick: It's fine. Thank you very much for staying Maria.
Maria: You're welcome. No problem. Goodnight Mrs. Jean.
Jean: [Rudely] Goodnight.
Rick: [to Maria] We'll see you tomorrow.
Jean: I would like the locks changed again in the morning. And you
know what, you might mention that next time we'd appreciate it if
they didn't send a gang member...
Rick: A gang member?
Jean: Yes, yes.
Rick: What do you mean? That kid in there?
Jean: Yes. The guy in there with the shaved head, the pants around
his ass, the prison tattoos.
Rick: Those are not prison tattoos.
Jean: [Interrupting] Oh really? And he's not gonna go sell our key to
one of his gang banger friends the moment he is out our door?
Rick: You've had a really tough night. I think it would be best if
you just went upstairs right now and...
Jean: [Interrupting] And what? Wait for them to break in?
Jean: [Yelling] I just had a gun pointed in my face!
Rick: [Agitated] You lower you voice!
Jean: [Yelling]... and it was my fault because I knew it was gonna
happen. But if a white person sees two black men walking towards
her and she turns and walks in the other direction, she's a racist,
right? [Furious] Well I got scared and I didn't say anything and
ten seconds later I had a [Jabbing her finger into Rick's chest]
gun in my face. Now I am telling you, your amigo in there is gonna
sell our key to one of his homies and this time it'd be really
fucking great if you acted like you actually gave a shit!
Graham: [on the phone] Mom, I can't talk to you right now, okay? I'm
having sex with a white woman.
[hangs up, and Ria gets out of bed]
Graham: OK, where were we?
Ria: I was white, and you were about to jerk off in the shower.
Graham: Oh, shit. Come on. I would have said you were Mexican, but I
don't think it would have pissed her off as much.
Ria: Why do you keep everybody a certain distance, huh? What, you
start to feel something and panic?
Graham: Come on, Maria. You're just pissed 'cause I answered the
phone.
Ria: That's just where I begin to get pissed. I mean, really, what
kind of man speaks to his mother that way, huh?
Graham: Oh, this is about my mother. What do you know about my
mother?
Ria: If I was your father, I'd kick your fucking ass.
Graham: OK, I was raised badly. Why don't you take your clothes off,
get back into bed, and teach me a lesson?
Ria: You want a lesson? I'll give you a lesson. How 'bout a geography
lesson? My father's from Puerto Rico. My mother's from El Salvador.
Neither one of those is Mexico.
Graham: Ah. Well then I guess the big mystery is, who gathered all
those remarkably different cultures together and taught them all
how to park their cars on their lawns?
Jean: Do you want to hear something funny?
Maria: What's that Mrs. Jean?
Jean: You're the best friend I've got.
Jean: I am angry all the time... and I don't know why.
Christine: I just couldn't stand to see that man take away your
dignity.
Cameron: [to Anthony] Look at me. You embarrass me. You embarrass
yourself.
Anthony: No, no, no, take that voodoo-ass thing off of there right
now!
Peter: I know you just didn't call St. Christopher voodoo. Man's the
patron saint of travelers, dog.
Anthony: You had a conversation with God, huh? What did God say? Go
forth, my son, and leave big slobbery suction rings on every
dashboard you find? Why the hell do you do that?
Peter: Look at the way your crazy ass drive, then ask me that again!
Officer Hanson: I'm trying to help you.
Cameron: I didn't ask for your help, did I?
Anthony: You see any white people in there waiting an hour and thirty
two minutes for a plate of spaghetti? Huh? And how many cups of
coffee did we get?
Peter: You don't drink coffee and I didn't want any.
Anthony: That woman poured cup after cup to every single white person
around us. Did she even ask you if you wanted any?
Peter: We didn't get any coffee that you didn't want and I didn't
order, and this is evidence of racial discrimination? Did you
happen to notice our waitress was black?
Anthony: And black women don't think in stereo types? You tell me
something man. When was the lat time you met one who didn't think
she knew everything about your lazy ass? Before you even open your
mouth, huh?
Officer Ryan: You think you know who you are?
[Officer Hanson nods]
Officer Ryan: You have no idea.
Anthony: Look around! You couldn't find a whiter, safer or better lit
part of this city. But this white woman sees two black guys, who
look like UCLA students, strolling down the sidewalk and her
reaction is blind fear. I mean, look at us! Are we dressed like
gang-bangers? Huh? No. Do we look threatening? No. Fact, if anybody
should be scared around here, it's us: We're the only two black
faces surrounded by a sea of over-caffeinated white people,
patrolled by the triggerhappy LAPD. So you tell me, why aren't we
scared?
Peter: Because we have guns?
Anthony: You could be right.
Anthony: You could fill the Staple Center with what you don't know.
Peter: The Kings are playing tonight.
Anthony: You don't like hockey! Only reason you say you do is to piss
me off!
Peter: ...I love hockey.
Lara: I'll protect you, Daddy.
Officer Hanson: Something else funny?
Peter: [laughing] People, man... people.
Lara: How far can bullets go?
Daniel: They go pretty far but they usually get stuck in something
and stop.
Lara: What if they don't?
Daniel: Are you thinking about that bullet that came through your
window?
Daniel: She had these little stubby wings, like she could've glued
them on, you know, like I'm gonna believe she's a fairy. So she
said, "I'll prove it." So she reaches into her backpack and she
pulls out this invisible cloak and she ties it around my neck. And
she tells me that it's impenetrable. You know what impenetrable
means? It means nothing can go through it. No bullets, nothing. She
told me that if I wore it, nothing would hurt me. So I did. And my
whole life, I never got shot, stabbed, nothing. I mean, how weird
is that?
Lara: I heard a bang.
Daniel: What, like a truck bang?
Lara: Like a gun.
[last lines]
Shaniqua: Ahh! Oh, my God. What the hell is wrong with you people?
Uh-uh! Don't talk to me unless you speak American!
Anthony: That waitress sized us up in two seconds. We're black and
black people don't tip. So she wasn't gonna waste her time. Now
somebody like that? Nothing you can do to change their mind.
Peter: So, uh... how much did you leave?
Anthony: You expect me to pay for that kind of service?
Lara: It's a really good cloak.
Lucien: You watch the Discovery Channel?
Anthony: Not a lot.
Peter: They got some good shit on that channel.
Lucien: Every night there is a show with somebody shining a little
blue light and finding tiny specks of blood splattered on carpets
and walls and ceiling fans, bathroom fixtures and special-edition
plastic Burger King tray cups. The next thing they show is some
stupid redneck in handcuffs who looks absolutely stunned that this
is happening to him. Sometimes the redneck is actually WATCHING the
Discovery Channel when they break in to arrest him. And he still
can't figure out how on earth they could've caught him!
[pauses]
Lucien: Psst. Do I look like I wanna be on the Discovery Channel?
Anthony: No.
Lucien: Then get the fuck outta my shop.
Graham: I swear to you, Mom. I'll find whoever killed him.
Graham's Mother: Oh, I already know who killed him. You did. I asked
you to find your brother, but you were too busy for us. We weren't
much good to you anymore, were we? You got things to do. You go
ahead. I'll sign the papers.
Cameron: I mean, sooner or later, you gotta find out what it's really
like to be black.
Christine: Oh, fuck you man! Like you'd know! The closest you ever
came to being black, Cameron, was watching "The Cosby Show".
Cameron: Yeah, well, at least I wasn't watching it with the rest of
the equestrian team.
Anthony: [as he let go all the Asian people that are in the truck]
Look, here's 40 bucks. Buy everybody chop suey. You understand?
[an Asian man takes the money and doesn't say anything as he leaves]
Anthony: Dopey fucking Chinaman.
Farhad: I am not yelling! I am upset!
Ria: Graham, I think we got rear ended. I think we spun around twice,
and somewhere in there, one of us lost our frame of reference. And
I'm going to look for it.
Motorcycle Cop: Calm down, ma'am.
Kim Lee: I am calm.
Motorcycle Cop: I need to see your registration and insurance.
Kim Lee: Why? Not my fault! It's her fault! She do this!
Ria: [approaching] My fault?
Motorcycle Cop: Ma'am, you really need to wait in your vehicle.
Ria: [appraoching] My fault?
Kim Lee: Stop in the middle of street! Mexicans! No know how to
drive! She blake too fast!
Ria: I "blake" too fast? I "blake" too fast? I'm sorry, you no see my
"blake lights"?
Motorcycle Cop: [to Ria] Ma'am...
Ria: [to Kim Lee] See, I stop when I see long line of cars stop in
front of me. Maybe you see over steering wheel, you "blake" too.
Motorcycle Cop: [to Ria] Ma'am...
Ria: Officer, can you please write down in your report how shocked I
am to be hit by an Asian driver?
Cop At Scene: Hey, Detective. Nice entrance.
Graham: Fuck you. [to Detective Carr] Hey.
Detective Carr: You okay?
Graham: I'm freezing.
Detective Carr: Shit. I heard it might snow.
Graham: Get outta here.
Detective Carr: That's what I heard.
Graham: You got a smoke?
Detective Carr: Nah, quit.
Graham: Yeah, me, too. What have you got?
Detective Carr: Dead kid.
Gun Store Owner: Andy, get him out of here now!
Dorri: [to Farhad] Go, wait in the car.
Farhad: [to Gun Store Owner] You are ignorant man!
Gun Store Owner: I'm ignorant. You're liberating my country, and I'm
flying seven four sevens into your mud huts and incinerating my
friends. Get the fuck out of my store!
Peter: Get the fuck out of the car!
Anthony: Give me the keys!
Graham: That is a nice gun.
Ria: Well, the car is registered to a Cindy Bradley. And that's not
Cindy. That is a William Lewis. [hands him a wallet] Found under
the front seat. Hollywood Division.
Graham: Looks like Detective Conklin shot himself the wrong nigga.
Jean: How much longer are you going to be?
Daniel: Not. This is the last one.
Jean: Thank you.
Christine: [to Cameron] Fuck you, Cameron! [to Ryan] And you, keep
your filthy fuckin' hands off me! Ow! You fucking pig!
Cameron: Christine, just stop taking.
Officer Ryan: [to Christine] That's quite a mouth you have. [to
Cameron] Course, you know that.
Christine: Fuck you! That's what this is all about, isn't it? You
thought you saw a white woman blowing a black man, and that just
drove your little cracker ass crazy!
Cameron: Christine, shut your fuckin' mouth!
Officer Ryan: I'd listen to your husband, Ma'am. Put your legs open.
Now, do you have any guns or knives or anything I might get stuck
with?
Cameron: What did you want me to do? Get us both shot?
Christine: No, what I need is a husband who will not just stand
there, while I'm being molested.
Christine: That's good. A little anger. It's a bit late, but it's
nice to see.
Officer Hanson: Hey. Maybe they didn't tell you, but I've been
reassigned.
Officer Ryan: Yeah, they told me. I just wanted to say good luck and
it was good riding with you.
Officer Hanson: You too.
Officer Ryan: Wait 'till you've been on the job a few more years.
Look at me.
Officer Hanson: Yeah.
Officer Ryan: Look at me. Wait 'till you've been doing it a little
longer.
Officer Hanson: Radio cheque two one L two three.
Officer #1: Two one L two three. I'm hearing strange noises from your
car.
Officer #2: Likewise, twenty one, L. Is your mic open by any chance?
Flanagan: Fucking black people, huh?
Graham: What did you just say?
Flanagan: I mean, I know all the sociological reasons why, per capita
eight times more black men are incarcerated than white men...
Schools are a disgrace, lack of opportunity, bias in the judicial
system, all that stuff... But still... but still, it's... it's
gotta get to you, I mean, on a gut level, as a black man. They just
can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar.
Flanagan: Actually, we were thinking of you until we saw that. It's
your brothers file. Twenty something years old and already three
felonys. Three Strikes Law, the kid's going away for life for
stealing a car. Christ, that's a shitty law. There's a warrant in
there. But still, he had every opportunity you had. Fucking black
people, huh?
Graham: So, uh... all I need to do to make this disappear is to frame
a potentially innocent man.
Flanagan: What are you? The fucking Defender of All Things White?
We're talking about a white that shot three black men and you're
arguing with me, that maybe we're not being "fair" to him? You
know, what? Maybe you're right. Maybe you're right. Maybe Lewis did
provoke this. Maybe he got exactly what was coming to him. Or,
maybe, stoned or not, being a black man in the valley was enough to
get him killed. There was no one there to see who shot first, so
there is no way way to know. Which means, we could get this wrong.
Maybe that's what happened with your brother. Maybe we got it
wrong. Maybe Lewis isn't the only one who deserves the benefit of
the doubt. You're the one closest to all this. You need to tell us.
What does your gut tell you?
Flanagan: The D.A's squad loses its lead investigator next month.
Rick is quite adamant that his replacement be a person of color.
It's a high profile position, and he wants to send the right
message to the community.
Graham: And the right message is look at this Black Boy I bought?
Officer Ryan: You folks drive safe now.
Graham's Mother: Did you find your brother?
Graham: No, Ma.
Graham's Mother: Tell him to come home. Tell him I'm not mad, okay?
Okay, baby?
Lara: Daddy!
Daniel: Honey, stay inside!
Officer Ryan: Put your hands on top of your head, Ma'am.
Cameron: Now, you just do what he says.
