The top mistakes in Proof of Life http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1022 en Sat, 11 Oct 2008 05:55:07 +0000 13245 After the charity dinner, Meg Ryan and David Morse are having a fight in their kitchen. Note a missing drawer on the right hand side of the greenish cabinet. But at the end of the scene, when Morse leaves the room, the drawer is back where it belongs. 13196 During the scene when Russell Crowe and David Caruso come to Meg Ryan's house while they are packing the "Good Faith" money, Meg Ryan is holding a cigarette. As she gets excited, she starts waving her arms around and running her hands through her hair. You can see the cigarette is not lit. She then goes into a closet to have a discussion with Peter's sister. While in the closet, she takes a drag of off the now lit cigarette. At no time does she stop to light it. 13197 The bible that has the map written in it falls into the river along with the German guy that is escaping. However after the German is rescued and the map is being re-examined the bible has no water damage at all. 10789 When David Morse speaks on the mobile phone in the helicopter and just before kidnapping, he speaks to the wrong side of the phone. In the Nokia Communicator, the speaker and microphone are on the same side as the battery, not on the display side! 22327 During the escape scene, when the missionary is cornered at the edge of the waterfall, there is a camera angle looking up at him from below. Though this shot is shown before his pursuers fire at him, he is already holding his wounded shoulder. Also, the scene makes it appear that the bullet knocks him over the cliff, but when his pursuers get to the place where he was standing they find a great deal of blood on the rocks. It seems the original idea was to have him take a shot in the shoulder and then choose to dive in, but to save time (or create the idea that his captors might think they had shot him to death) the scene was re-written in the editing room.
