Revealing mistake: When Fitch is giving Marley the final offer on the $500K check, notice that the trolley is in motion by looking out the windows. When it cuts to a frontal shot of Fitch, look behind him through the windshield and you will see a car in front of a tree just above Fitch's right shoulder. Look close and you will notice that the car is not moving away from the trolley as if the trolley was stopped, yet it cuts back to Marley and we see that the trolley is indeed still moving.
Runaway Jury (2003)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Gary Fleder
Starring: John Cusack, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, Rachel Weisz, Jeremy Piven
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Gene Hackman is in the bar, his drink is low, it is then double the original size when the others leave. (01:58:55 - 02:01:00)
Trivia: Everyone walks around the French Quarter drinking Starbucks coffee. There isn't a Starbucks very close to the Quarter. The closest one is also hard to find. When I'm there I usually drink Cafe du Monde coffee while walking around the Quarter.
Question: I know that Jennifer Beals is not exactly a big star right now, but I was still surprised to see her in such a tiny role...does anyone know if she originally had a bigger scene that was cut?

Answer: Jennifer Beals' role is a bit of a misdirection towards the viewer, a little like Janet Leigh in "Psycho". It misleads the viewer into beleiving she might be crucial to the plot.
