Goofs
|
Revealing mistakes: When Brooklyn aims the rocket launcher at The Players Club, you can see that the tube has no rocket in it. Continuity: Dollar Bill's position in the trunk is different between shots. Continuity: Seconds before Diamond pulls off her top, she is shown topless, but only for a second and a half. Continuity: In Diamond's first scene in the dressing room, her pony tail is set high on top of her head. When Ronnie guides her into the main room of the club, Diamond's pony tail is pulled back further and is spiky at the top. |
