In the scene where Corso and The Girl are in a stolen sports car following Liana Telfour to her country estate, there is a 'stop' sign visible on the driver's side (just after they exit off the highway) but they're in France, so shouldn't the sign say 'arret' instead? [No, French stop signs use the English word "Stop". This is because of a standardization of stop signs in the European Union.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_sign.] At the end of the film, when Depp returns to the Cenzia Brother's shop, the last engraving that slides off the top of the bookcase is at first not visible because it is coated in gray dust. When Depp picks it up, however, it is spotless. [Untrue. When Depp picks it up he wipes his hand across it to remove the filth.] In the Sintra Hotel, after talking to Balkan on the phone, Corso again picks up the receiver and places it on the nightstand, the earpiece resting in the ashtray. This to ensure a peaceful night's sleep. The following morning, as Corso is awoken by knocks on the door, the receiver lies next to the ashtray, obviously relocated between shots. [There are also a glass and some bottles from the minibar on the nightstand when he wakes up. So he must have had a drink before going to sleep, and probably a smoke as well, which means he has taken the receiver out of the ashtray.] When Dean is packing to go on the journey his shirt is unbuttoned however when he lets Telford's wife in and they sit down his shirt is buttoned up despite never seeing him do it. [It is easy to see that he is buttoning his shirt as he walks away from the door.]You may also like: Secret Window | Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End | Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl | Finding Neverland | Sweeney Todd
