Trivia
During the scene where Robin Williams (the doctor) has to restrain Robert DeNiro (the patient), Robin accidentally broke DeNiro's nose. DeNiro insisted that they continue with the filming until the scene was completed because he knew, from prior experience, that he wouldn't be able to film for at least a week, until the swelling and bruising went down. And DeNiro actually was glad it happened because it corrected the bump from the prior broken nose. See more...
Awakenings (1990) - 7 mistakes
Directed by Penny Marshall, starring Robert De Niro (add more)
Genres: Drama
Factual error: After Robert De Niro awakens, Robin Williams takes him on a ride around New York and Robert is amazed by all the surroundings. The movie is set in the early 1970s, but you can see plenty of vehicles around from the time that the movie was filmed (1990). Notice the square headlights that originally appeared in the late 70's.
Continuity: When Robin Williams leans out of the window, to speak to the nurse who is asking him to go out with her, his shirt is one color/pattern. When the scene shows Robin Williams running out to meet her, his shirt is a totally different color/pattern. Yet the scene does not allow time for a clothing change.
Continuity: When Leonard stays at the hospital instead of going with the group on the bus, he goes to the lunch room and stands in line with the girl he likes. As they are sitting at the table eating, watch the milk glasses on the tray. There is one on the right side of Leonard's tray and one on the left of hers. In the next shot they are both on the right side.
