The Deep End picture

Plot hole: When Margaret has to collect the $50,000, she goes around to various banks trying to get a loan on their house, which she can't get because her husband, co-owner of the house, isn't around. Why couldn't she just have taken the papers, said she was going to take them home to her husband, forged his signature, and brought them back? You can't exactly say she has either moral problems or isn't devious enough, since we've already seen her stuff a body into a dinghy, toss it into the lake, and come back to her house looking fairly normal.

She's No Angel picture

Other mistake: In this made for TV movie, there is a front licence plate on a Suburban the Tracy Gold character hitches a ride with. The front plate reads: 2GAT123, a California plate that I have seen in numerous movies and TV shows. The rear plate reads completely different, I believe it was 4BGO468, shown briefly as the vehicle leaves a parking lot.

Facing the Enemy picture

Continuity mistake: When Linden Ashby plays back a message on the tape recorder, towards the end of the film, in the first and second shots of the recorder the play button is pressed down. In the third shot all of the buttons are up, but the message still continues the play, then in the fourth shot, when Linden presses the stop button, the play button is pressed down again. This is before the woman asks him to replay the last bit of the message again.

Look at the back of Ed's shirt, it falls up and goes past her neck and rests at her head, when the camera cuts to a front view, the shirt is above the shoulder line. (00:14:20)

Birthday Girl picture

Other mistake: In the beginning of the film when John and Nadia are eating supper together, Nadia gives John a ring and speaks in Russian. The camera is at her back so we can't see her mouth move, but it is definately not Nicole Kidman's voice.

In the shot her right backpack strap has fallen off of her shoulder and is down to her elbow. But in the next shot of her falling backwards to the floor, the strap is suddenly back on her shoulder.
