Continuity mistake: When God pages Bruce, Bruce says, "Hello 776-2323", only the number on the pager says 555-0123. Originally, the number on the pager was 776-2323. However, this caused a few problems (people with that number got calls), so it was changed, but without the appropriate voiceover. This is only the case on some DVDs - it's been changed completely on others. (00:22:45)
Continuity mistake: When Bruce throws the pager out the window, it gets run over. When Bruce hears it going off again when he is taking the dog outside, it's not as smashed, and has extra stuff hanging from it. (00:23:50)
Continuity mistake: When you see Bruce driving into the street with the Omni Presents building, you can see a shadow all down the side of the street. After he steps in the puddle, there is one dark patch of shadow, but none anywhere else. (00:24:45)
Continuity mistake: When Bruce is pushed back by the "drawer of life" his grip on the handle changes between shots (otherwise he would have broken his thumb the way it was pushed through the handle). (00:28:25)
Continuity mistake: When Bruce plays the finger game with God and puts his hands behind his back his shirt keeps hanging loose, except for one shot where it looks as if he had pulled it back with his right hand. (00:30:10)
Continuity mistake: In the diner, Bruce is looking out the window and the waitress walks up to him. You can see the two coffee cups on the side of Bruce's table next to each other. When the waitress asks "Coffee?" and the shot changes, one of the cups is suddenly at the centre of the table. (00:31:15)
Continuity mistake: When Bruce is seen driving his car across the bridge after his first meeting with God, the hood of his car is no longer dented from the accident. (00:31:30)
Continuity mistake: When Bruce in the diner, he puts cream in his coffee. In the shots following, his coffee is black. And when she brings the soup, there's a lot more coffee in the cup. (00:33:05)
Continuity mistake: When Bruce gets his tomato soup there are soup marks on the edges of the bowl. When it cuts to a closeup the marks are gone. (00:33:35)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where he is parting the soup and the papers start blowing a paper gets on the back of the old mans neck, in the next shot it isn't there. A piece of paper is also in between Jim Carrey's arm when the man appears in the booth and then it isn't. (00:34:05)
Continuity mistake: While Bruce stirs his coffee, there is no napkin on his left. After the waitress walks towards him, one appears from nowhere. (00:34:25)
Continuity mistake: There is a spoon in the cup holding the coffee that Bruce ordered. In the first shot, is it pointing to Bruce's right. However in the second shot, it is now pointing to Bruce's Left. (00:34:50)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bruce and God are standing on water, after God reaches into the water to get the beaded bracelet, he puts the bracelet on his wrist. However, just as God turns to walk away the bracelet is in God's hand, not on his wrist. As you see God walk away he's looking down and it seems as if God is just then putting the bracelet on his wrist. (00:35:55)
Continuity mistake: After God leaves to take a vacation, Bruce's body changes position between shots. (00:36:05)
Continuity mistake: Right before Bruce changes into the cloud shirt and black pants from the store, the people in the background disappear. (00:36:45)
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Bruce changes his clothes with the ones on the store mannequin, he touches himself with one finger and smoke comes out. If you look in the windows to his left, there is no reflection of the smoke. (00:36:50)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bruce is confronting the gang that beat him up earlier, he has the monkey come out of the guy, who falls to the ground in pain. After the other guys run away, there is a shot of Bruce taunting them, but the injured guy is not on the ground behind him, even though he should be visible. A second later, he reappears when Bruce turns to face him. (00:38:35)
Continuity mistake: After Bruce makes the monkey come out of the gang leader's butt, the thug played by Emilio Rivera suddenly has a thicker goatee when he calls Bruce "el diablo." (00:39:50)
Continuity mistake: Bruce is eating breakfast the morning after he pulls the moon closer. Grace makes him breakfast. In the first shot he put ketchup directly on the sandwich. In the following shot there is ketchup on the side of the plate but none on the sandwich. (00:44:15)
Continuity mistake: When Bruce and Grace are in the kitchen, and Grace is commenting on how she thinks her boobs have gotten bigger, Bruce is squirting ketchup onto his plate. When he first does this, the ketchup goes everywhere, all over his plate. It then cuts to Grace and then back to Bruce, and the ketchup is now in a nice, neat pile. (00:44:30)
Answer: Hoffa was the powerful and controversial leader of the Teamsters Union from 1957 to 1971. Often alleged to have ties to organized crime, Hoffa was convicted of fraud and jury tampering in 1964 and served four years in prison before his sentence was commuted by President Nixon. In 1975, while trying to regain power in the union, Hoffa disappeared from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He was widely assumed to have been killed by the Mafia. His body was never found, and in 1983 he was declared legally dead. Many movies joke of this, because to this day, his body has not been recovered.
