The top mistakes in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason http://www.moviemistakes.com/film4405 en Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:55:24 +0000 83524 After Mark Darcy and Bridget have broken up, Bridget comes home to her flat and we see her looking across London, and the camera pans across to show Mark walking the streets. However, rather than wearing the clothes we just saw him in - suit and white open collared shirt - he is now wearing a blue shirt and tie. 75425 When Bridget's parents pick her up at the airport and all three are in the elevator, Bridget and her father are both about to take a drag off their cigarettes. In the next shot, the cigarettes are nowhere in sight. 75635 Bridget appears to be making her first parachute jump. The mistake is that she would not be permitted under UK law to make her first jump the way she does. She would either have to jump with a static line attached to the aircraft, which opens her parachute automatically. Or if she took an accelerated free fall course, she could free fall but she would do so with two instructors jumping with her to steady her and open her chute if she panicked. 74643 Bridget comes back from the Law Society dinner late at night; it is dark outside. Yet when she comes back home and passes by the stained glass window in her apartment, plenty of light is coming through it. (This shot has been cut from the DVD release.) 74605 Bridget is wearing a shirt from Mrs. Darcy (the line about Mark's mother's taste in shirts, which is said while showing BOTH shirts, definitely suggests that - her idea of cuteness for a couple, I guess), which doesn't make sense because the first movie ended on New Year's Eve (we know that because Shazzer and the rest of the gang were taking Bridget to Paris that night to celebrate the New Year, but Bridget ended up with Mark - unless the movie take place a year later, which it doesn't, it takes place the next day). Consequently, there is no way Mrs. Darcy would have known about Bridget and Mark in time to get her a shirt too and offer it to her. Mark couldn't have brought it to Bridget, because she arrives alone at her mother's New Year's Day turkey curry buffet; Mark is already there, wearing the shirt his mother gave him, which suggests they split ways that morning, after their first night together.
