Goofs

DATE: Early in the film a worry over problems in "Botswana and South Africa" is stated in the dialog, but the film is set in 1960 when the country of Botswana was still British Bechuanaland (as correctly displayed later in the film on a large map of Africa); Botswana was not renamed until its independence in 1966. Continuity: When Mr. Hobbs and Ms. Quinn are first visiting in her office, she is smoking a cigarette. With each shot the length of her cigarette changes from short to long back to short and then to medium. Continuity: When Laura and Mr. Hobbs originally meet in the pub to discuss the heist, there are two men playing darts only inches from Mr. Hobbs' shoulder. From the reverse angle, there is only one seated man drinking and ignoring them. Revealing mistakes: When Laura tears up the note-card illustrating that there are no women managers in the company, she tears it vertically and evenly down the middle. The restored card that Mr. Hobbs shows her later has a more diagonal tear, and is made up of unequal portions. DATE: Although the design of the chair (aluminum group designed by Charles and Ray Eames) in L. Quinn's office dates back to 1958, the base (antler) is incorrectly the modern and not the original one. SYNC: The record on the turntable is Brenda Lee's "I'm Sorry", but the soundtrack is instrumental jazz. Continuity: Late in the movie: when Hobbs exits the utility closet he is clearly wearing two work gloves as he begins to push his cart. In the next instant, shown in the security camera, both gloves are absent as he pushes his cart. CHAR: Sir Clifton Sinclair arrives at the formal gathering at the beginning of the movie smoking a cigar. The cigar still has a band on it - it is considered extremely rude and pretentious to smoke cigars with the band still on among British society. Continuity: In the last scene, Laura gifts the book to the journalist to "get inspired and inspire others" and she goes out of the restaurant. The journalist reads the whole book and we see the story unfolding. She gets up and watches Laura walk down the street. But, how could she finish reading the entire book in a few seconds? |
Quotes

Laura Quinn: How'd you do it, Mr. Hobbs? How did you get them out? Mr. Hobbs: [ignoring her question] Do you know what the hardest substance in the world is? Laura Quinn: [ignoring his reply] And who's really behind this? Mr. Hobbs: A Diamond. You rub it with a cloth, it lets off a charge. You put in water, it comes up dry. It's only enemy is another diamond. Laura Quinn: Why do you want to steal from the company? Mr. Hobbs: Who said I did? Laura Quinn: Hypothetically. Mr. Hobbs: War and plunder, the two most reliable sources of income. Laura Quinn: I didn't realize! Are we at war? Mr. Hobbs: May I give you some advice, Miss Quinn? Laura Quinn: Well, you are the one holding the gun. Mr. Hobbs: Life is for living. It's there for the taking. Grant yourself no regrets. |
