Factual error: In an attempt to create a believable 1940s gym, it appears the production crew got hold of many contemporary boxing posters as possible. Most of these were Greeked to avoid mentioning real boxers (such as "Dave Ritlaf" and "John Paropianeo"), but one of these prominently features a "Ronnie Harris", along with a photograph. Ronnie Harris was a real boxer, but wasn't even born until 1948, 7 years after this scene was set, giving away that a poster from the '70s was used. (00:16:08)
Raging Bull (1980)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Cathy Moriarty, Frank Vincent
Continuity mistake: In the first scene with De Niro's first wife as Pesci arrives, he is improvising as he argues with her and he says "you call those carrots" and she says "you ate them didn't you". He replies "I got no choice". But he had flipped over the table in the prior scene as she was serving the carrots so he never even tasted them.
Jake La Motta: Did Salvy fuck Vickie?
Joey LaMotta: What?
Jake La Motta: Did Salvy fuck Vickie?
Joey LaMotta: Jack. Jack, don't start your shit. I mean it, don't start.
Trivia: In the film, Jake asks Joey the now-famous line, 'Did you f*** my wife?' In an interview with Empire magazine, Joe Pesci, who played Joey, said 'Raging Bull fans come up to me and say, "Did you f*** my wife?" And I tell them, "Certainly. Doesn't everyone?"'
Chosen answer: No. But Jake's paranoia and possessiveness had consumed him to such a degree that he was convinced that he (Joey) had, based on Vickie's impulsive remarks.
