The top mistakes in Raging Bull http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1039 en Sat, 11 Oct 2008 05:55:07 +0000 18374 In the scene where Jake is in the bedroom with his wife (where he pours ice water on himself to calm down) you can see the top of some crew member's head in the the foreground right below the camera lens. 13010 In the scene when Robert De Niro asks Joe Pesci to punch him, you can see blood on De Niro's face at one point. Then you in the next shot of De Niro, there is no blood on his face. 14667 In the first scene with De Niro's first wife as Pesci arrives, he is improvising as he argues with her and he says "you call those carrots" and she says "you ate them didn't you". He replies "I got no choice". But he had flipped over the table in the prior scene as she was serving the carrots so he never even tasted them. 74776 When Joey and Sal are walking down the street, they come up to one apartment where people are standing outside talking. Just before that the blind in the window behind them is up, but in the next shot it's down. 6225 Early in the film there is a scene, clearly an improvisation, where De Niro's character is courting his future wife. They are sitting across from each other at a small dining table in an apartment. Apparently the director has told De Niro nothing more than "try to get her to sit on your lap", which is accomplished so quickly and easily that he looks at the camera, obviously expecting to hear "cut!" or get some further suggestion. Nothing happens, and De Niro, momentarily at a loss, tries to come up with more action, a kiss, or something. He quickly succeeds at this as well, and looks at the camera again! The scene still is not cut, and continues to unravel.
