Mistakes in Runaway Jury The top mistakes in Runaway Jury http://www.moviemistakes.com/film3667 en Sat, 04 Oct 2008 05:55:16 +0000 Mistake #1 41133 Rankin Fitch's "team" has Juror Millie Dupree's husband Hoppy Dupree arrested as part of their plan to control Millie's vote. If you listen to the damaging evidence from Hoppy, he is saying "I can help you get that county permit, blah, blah, blah" This is supposed to take place in Louisiana, where there are no counties only parishes. This is a hold over from the John Grisham book that the movie is based on. That story took place in Mississippi where there are counties. Mistake #2 55148 In any of the courtroom scenes where you are looking at the judge, the American flag is on the wrong side. The flag should be to the right side of the judge. This was confirmed by IHA <iha@ushistory.org>. Mistake #3 40178 Towards the beginning of the movie when Rankin Fitch is in the cab, watch the meter. They drive only for a few minutes, but the meter never changes from $24.50. Mistake #4 49510 At the end of the movie when Gene Hackman is in the bar, his drink is low, it is then double the original size when the others leave. Mistake #5 64644 The film has the Civil District Court for Orleans Parish located in the French Quarter. Actually, that courthouse is home to the State Appellate Court and the State Supreme Court. The Civil District Court is located in a film-unfriendly section of town, on Loyola Avenue.
