The top mistakes in Cinderella Man http://www.moviemistakes.com/film5061 en Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:55:27 +0000 88750 To make Jim Braddock look more heroic, Max Baer is portrayed as being very mean and hateful. In fact, the real Max Baer was an extremely pleasant man who was devastated when Frankie Campbell died after fighting him. Many boxing historians and sportswriters have complained about this inaccurate depiction of Baer. 88511 When Mae is at the sink washing dishes and, behind her, Braddock is teaching his kids how to box, Mae turns around and emotionally yells, "No boxing in the house!", the strap on the apron she is wearing is twisted. They cut away and in the next shot the strap is no longer twisted. 87787 During the Baer and Braddock fight, when the camera angle is from far away, you can see that Braddock is not actually connecting with his punches on Baer. Yet Baer still reacts like he's been hit. This also true with Baer hitting Braddock when the camera is showing the fight from far away in the stands. 87797 When Braddock runs into Baer when he is taking his wife out to dinner, Baer insults Mae. She throws a drink in his face. He uses a napkin to wipe his face off. The shot goes to Mae, and then back to Baer, where his face is suddenly dripping again. 87789 When Braddock and Gould take their wives out to dinner, Max Baer sends them a bottle of champagne. When the waiter brings it over, everyone, including Braddock can see that the bottle is already open, yet he continues to tell the waiter not to open the bottle, that they will instead take it home with them.
