The top mistakes in 52 Pick Up http://www.moviemistakes.com/film6771 en Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:55:37 +0000 123393 In the scene where Harry Mitchell is at Leo's club with Doreen, he takes a Polaroid of her. When she asks him how it came out and he tells her it's a little dark, he's actually looking at the picture upside down. We then cut back to Doreen then back to Harry, only this time he's holding the same picture the right way up. Also during the same scene, Doreen's suspender belt starts off attached to her stockings, then it's unattached, then attached before we see her unattaching it. 135892 When Alan is struggling with Barbara on the drawbridge, the shadow of a camera/operator is on Alan's back as they get near the car. 135903 After picking up the package at the Mets game, we see Bobby get in the car. From outside the driver's window, it's clear a mirror is mounted on the door. But as the crew is driving down the road, about to open the package, there's no sign of the mirror. It can't be lowered enough to hide in these shots. It has been removed for this scene. 135906 As Alan pulls Barbara out of the car, he steps back right into the camera, visibly shaking it as he nearly blocks all light for a moment. 135908 Throughout the film, Mitchell's main reason for not contacting police is that his affair and his mistress' murder would become public, derailing his wife's election and thus destroying "the one thing she built for herself". Seems odd that part of his plan is to rig his own car with explosives (from his own company), give it to the lead bad guy, then blow him and the car up on a public bridge. Certainly not a 'character mistake' as the tone of the film's ending is that, somehow, he has won, when he's failed in spectacular fashion to keep it all quiet- and his wife's been drugged, beaten, raped, and her career is over, while he's going to jail for murder.
