Fact errors: The sound effect used for the British police cars was inaccurate. British police cars did once sound like that but that was over twenty years ago. They now sound similar to American police vehicles. Fact errors: Harry Donovan and his father talks in the phone about the exchange rate between US Dollars and Dutch Guilders. Later on, when still in Amsterdam, Harry buys some sort of old painting in a shop. He pays however, in German Marks. Revealing mistakes: At the very end, when they spin and kiss, Jason Patric clearly looks right at the camera. Fact errors: When Harry Donovan is in Amsterdam and tries to buy painting in two different shops, both shop owners speak German and not Dutch. |
Quotes

Harry Donovan: Do you think the garbageman ain't in it for the money? 'Cause he sure as hell ain't in it for the garbage. Prof. Marieke van den Broeck: You don't have any friends. Harry Donovan: Oh yeah? Why's that? Prof. Marieke van den Broeck: You're an ogre. You don't like people. Harry Donovan: What? Prof. Marieke van den Broeck: You don't like people. Harry Donovan: Oh, I like people. Prof. Marieke van den Broeck: Name one. Harry Donovan: I like people. Alastair Davies: I want you to paint me... a Rembrandt. Harry Donovan: [pause] But only Rembrandt can paint Rembrandt. Harry Donovan: I'm not a shoe-maker, and I don't work for slobs off the street. I work with people that I know. You can leave now. Alastair Davies: It's a circular problem. Harry Donovan: Now, do I have to knock your ass down the stairs? Alastair Davies: No, no. Gentlemen. Um, we'll be staying at the Carlyle until, uh, Sunday. Think it over. Harry Donovan: Watch your fingers. [Harry slams the door shut as they leave] Prof. Marieke van den Broeck: How do you like the book? Harry Donovan: I don't like books. Prof. Marieke van den Broeck: Just look at the pictures? Harry Donovan: Yeah, ever since I was a little boy. Harry Donovan: I just don't understand why you guys have to sit here and piss on other people, let alone Rembrandt. Cafe intellectual: Professor Scheerding *proved* that the painting, The Man With The Golden Helmet, is just a cheap fake. Prof. Scheerding: I'm sure you know that, uh, in 1930 there were over 800 *supposed* Rembrandts. Harry Donovan: And now we're down to 241, thanks to you and your friends - and dropping. So, bully for you! Every schoolkid's favorite picture is now junk, because some self-appointed windbag has said so. You know, the problem is, in 10 years time there's not gonna be *any* Rembrandts. Just a big pile of *theses*. Prof. Scheerding: We have said something to offend you? Harry Donovan: Me? I'm never offended by flatulence. I just move away from its smell. Bye. Harry Donovan: When are you gonna realize that all of this art crap is a fraud? Otherwise, how could the same picture be worth $10 million or zip based on, what, a signature? Rembrandt is priceless. Donovan is worthless. That's not art. That's autographs. Harry Donovan: Do you have any money? Prof. Marieke van den Broeck: Why, you want to steal it? Harry Donovan: Yes. |
