Corrected entry: Charlie opens the shower door and sees Rose washing her hair. Not even a minute later, she's dressed and downstairs on the couch and her hair is completely dry and styled. Charlie even looks puzzled because he looks at her then looks up at the bathroom.

Correction: Not a mistake, but an example in the movie about the weirdness of Rose and Harriet. The scene cited where Charlie looks up stairs and is confused as to how Rose was in the shower then down stairs before him is a preview of strange things to come as Charlie sees clues pointing to Harriet as being the Axe Murderer.

Corrected entry: When Charlie is being pursued by Rose on the rooftop, at one point they both fall down near each other and Rose drops her axe. Charlie could have easily picked up the axe and defused the whole situation...but instead he gets up and just keeps running.

Gavin Jackson

Correction: If he was calm and thinking, yes. But in this case he was running for his life. People frequently make mistakes and miss opportunities when they're terrified.

It's still a stupidity. Especially considering he just put himself at further risk.

Gavin Jackson

People not behaving as you would, or even making stupid mistakes, doesn't qualify as a "stupidity" entry. Stupidity enters are basically minor plot holes. Just because Rose drops the axe doesn't mean Charlie would have gotten to it first or been able to defuse the situation just by having it. It's perfectly reasonable for him to take the opportunity to run away.

Continuity mistake: When Charlie goes onto the roof after Rose gets stuck by the closet, the lights are off in the hotel room because the power is out. But when they show Charlie climbing out of the window, the two windows in the shot have lights on, as though there were lights on in the actual rooms.

Suggested correction: You can see the lights come back on as Charlie is running towards the window. The power comes back on before he gets on the roof.

Continuity mistake: When Charlie brings the haggis to his parent's house, the sun is still shining when he parks in the driveway. When seen from inside the house as he enters, it's now very dark outside.

Suggested correction: It's not very dark outside, you can see the light from in the widows. It's just that's lot of windows are covered up so it's hard to tell. But the front door is in alcove with a roof eave over it that puts it in the shadow, which makes it look dark behind him.

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: After Harriet tells the two Russian sailors off, they walk to the other side of the columns awfully quick considering the short amount of time between the exchange and the next shot of them in the background. They must have run part of the way.

Charlie Mackenzie: Harriet. Harry-ette. Hard-hearted harbinger of haggis. Beautiful, bemuse-ed, bellicose butcher. Un-trust... ing. Un-know... ing. Un-love... ed?"He wants you back," he screamed into the night air like a fireman going to a window that has no fire... except the passion of his heart. I am lonely. It's really hard. This poem... sucks.

Question: Why on one DVD cover for this did they remove the axe Harriet's holding behind her back?

Rob245

Answer: The version without the axe is the original version. It was a later version that "shopped" in the weapon, presumably to even up the picture and mirror the fact that Charlie has something behind his back. Technically, the axe version doesn't even make sense since Harriet is not, in fact, an axe murderer.
