Continuity mistake: When Sam first enters Jack Lint's office, Jack is at the sink massaging his scalp. There is blood in the water in the sink. After Sam says "Excuse me!" a couple of times, Jack turns around, revealing that the front of his white jacket is clean. The camera cuts to Sam, who exclaims: "Jack!", whereupon there is a cut back to Jack. The front of his jacket is now torn and bloody.
Brazil (1985)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Terry Gilliam
Starring: Robert De Niro, Ian Holm, Jonathan Pryce, Kim Greist, Katherine Helmond
Sam escapes, brings down the Ministry, and lives happily ever after with Jill. But then it is revealed that his escape was all a dream. But only in the director's cut--sometimes the movie ends with the happy ending on broadcast television--Terry Gilliam fought this version of the film, but some copies are still out there floating around.
