Visible crew/equipment: When the car is sitting in the back of the trailer there is a cable visible connected to the front of the car. In the next scene the cable is gone.
Reindeer Games (2000)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: John Frankenheimer
Starring: Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, Gary Sinise, James Frain, Dana Stubblefield, Mark Acheson
Continuity mistake: Watch for the part where Gary Sinise and Charlize Theron are in the pool. (All the attention would be focused on her when she removes her top.) But watch when she flings the top to her right, it lands so nicely on the hand rail. As she moves towards Gary in a shot you will see the top lying on the deck of the pool.
Gabriel Mercer: I read your letters, convict. Don't play no reindeer games with me.
Trivia: It's interesting to note that Isaac Hayes has a very minor role in the movie as the guy who notices the roaches in the food in prison. Kelso from That 70's Show is also in the movie as the guy Rudy swaps clothes with to use him as a decoy.
Question: This film is called something else in the UK (Deception) because Reindeer Games isn't a phrase used in the UK - what does Reindeer Games mean?

Chosen answer: Originally from the line in the Christmas carol "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer," it has come to mean both (a) any activity from which one is intentionally excluded and (b) tricks undertaken with the point of irritating or harassing the subject - as in: "Oh, they want to play reindeer games with me, do they? Well, I'll show them."
