Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
When Winthorpe tries shooting himself in the head and the gun fails to discharge a bullet, he tosses the gun aside. The sound the gun makes when it fires and hits is a very poor sound effect and could not have fit realistically into that scene. [Wrong. It is completely realistic. What is not realistic is the sound effects normally used for gunshots in the movies - real guns sound nothing like they do on the screen. The sound effect here sounds like a live recording of a real (blank) shot.]
Coleman is told by Louis to "have the dessert" at dinner. It then swtiches to Coleman emptying the skillet's contents into the trash, and as he walks away, the telephone rings. He holds the skillet next to him, and it's completely clean. There's no sign of food being cooked. [He was cooking a crepe in a non stick pan- it slides out completely without anything left- not a mistake]
When Billy Ray and Winthorpe arrive in Lower Manhattan near the end of the film, they get out of the car at the World Trade Center, which is actually several blocks north of Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange. Why didn't the driver simply let them off right in front of the NYSE? Furthermore, they are shown walking across the WTC's plaza, meaning they either left the cab on the far side of the Trade Center, which simply doesn't make any sense, or they were just walking in the wrong direction. Wouldn't Winthorpe, who knows his way around the Stock Exchange, be much more able to navigate Lower Manhattan? [They weren't trading stocks which are traded at the NYSE. They were trading F.C.O.J a futures product - traded at the New York Mercantile Exchange, which was at one time located in the WTC.]
