Character mistake: The final deciding question at the Law Society quiz is "what was Madonna's first UK single?" Bridget says it was "Lucky Star" but the quizmaster says that is wrong. Rebecca says it was "Holiday" and the quizmaster says that is right and announces that her team have won. The only problem is that "Holiday" was not Madonna's first UK single either, her first UK single was "Everybody", released in December 1982.
Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Beeban Kidron
Starring: Colin Firth, Jim Broadbent, Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant, Gemma Jones, James Faulkner
Factual error: Bridget appears to be making her first parachute jump. The mistake is that she would not be permitted under UK law to make her first jump the way she does. She would either have to jump with a static line attached to the aircraft, which opens her parachute automatically. Or if she took an accelerated free fall course, she could free fall but she would do so with two instructors jumping with her to steady her and open her chute if she panicked.
Mark Darcy: Would you step outside please?
Daniel Cleaver: I'm afraid it's not possible.
Mark Darcy: Look are you gonna step outside or do I have to drag you?
Daniel Cleaver: I think you're gonna have to drag me.
Trivia: The fight sequence between Hugh Grant and Colin Firth was entirely improvised.
Question: Was Rebecca a lesbian in the book? I read book 2 a year ago but I cant recall her 'coming out'. Also, did Mark and Bridget get engaged?
