Character mistake: In the scene when Gillian and Sally are dragging the boyfriend in to put him on the table Gillian says, "Watch his balls Sal". It is in Nicole Kidman's native Australian accent and the rest of the movie she speaks with a Northeastern US accent.
Practical Magic (1998)
1 character mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Griffin Dunne
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock, Aidan Quinn, Dianne Wiest, Evan Rachel Wood, Stockard Channing, Goran Visnjic
Other mistake: In the end credits, the filmmakers misspell the name of the town they wish to thank. They spell it "Coupville", but it's actually spelled "Coupeville."
Gary Hallet: You're saying what I'm feeling is just one of your spells?
Sally Owens: Yeah. It's not real. And if you stay, I wouldn't know if it was because of the spell and... you wouldn't know if it was because I didn't want to go to prison.
Gary Hallet: Yeah, well... you know, all relationships have problems.
Trivia: The entire outside of the house is fake - it's just a shell. Even the blossoms on the trees are fake - they're silk.
Question: Near the end when Sally is in the circle with Gilly, there is a series of flashbacks. There is a shot of a woman with curly shoulder length hair surrounded by white. Who is she? She's not their mother as she has long straight hair.
Answer: She is the one from the opening sequence, their "great, great, great" grandmother who started the whole "curse" thing.
