The top mistakes in Chicago http://www.moviemistakes.com/film3013 en Sat, 19 Jul 2008 05:55:06 +0000 24755 In the final scene where Roxie and Velma are dancing in the concert hall, Roxie is on the right and Velma is on the left. The two images depicted here do not immediately follow one another in the film. Just before they jump around, there are closeups of Velma, then Roxie, during which they might have swapped sides. 24098 In the scene where Roxie is placed in the "paddy wagon" to be taken to Cook County Jail, the prosecutor refers to himself as District Attorney Harrison. However, the court system in Illinois doesn't have district attorneys; rather, they have state's attorneys. The original play by Maureen Watkins correctly calls him a state's attorney. 21990 In the final scene when Velma and Roxie are performing, there is lipstick on Roxie's teeth. In the next shot it has disappeared. 21987 As Roxie is being escorted into the murderers' row, Mama and Roxie pass Velma's cell. The dollar Velma gives Mama is a modern one. 23823 The innocent murderess, Katalin Hunyák, is supposed to be Hungarian. Nevertheless, in Cell Block Tango, she tells her story with such a heavy Russian accent that it makes the story almost unintelligible (I'm Hungarian so I know it). Thereafter, when Billy passes by, she begs for help in Russian ("Pozhaluysta" - "Please"). The actress who plays Hunyák is Russian, this explains a lot, but why couldn't they find someone Hungarian for that role?
