Audio problem: When Rudy Duncan states he wants, "some D*** hot chocolate...and some pecan pie", his lips do not sync correctly to those words.
Reindeer Games (2000)
1 audio problem
Directed by: John Frankenheimer
Starring: Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, Gary Sinise, James Frain, Dana Stubblefield, Mark Acheson
Continuity mistake: When Monster is reading the love letter to Rudy in the trailer of the semi, when Monster opens it up initially, the letter is folded in fourths (halves down the middles), when they come back to him in the shot, the letter is folder into a tri-fold (like a normal letter would be folded).
Gabriel Mercer: I read your letters, convict. Don't play no reindeer games with me.
Trivia: It's interesting to note that Isaac Hayes has a very minor role in the movie as the guy who notices the roaches in the food in prison. Kelso from That 70's Show is also in the movie as the guy Rudy swaps clothes with to use him as a decoy.
Question: This film is called something else in the UK (Deception) because Reindeer Games isn't a phrase used in the UK - what does Reindeer Games mean?

Chosen answer: Originally from the line in the Christmas carol "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer," it has come to mean both (a) any activity from which one is intentionally excluded and (b) tricks undertaken with the point of irritating or harassing the subject - as in: "Oh, they want to play reindeer games with me, do they? Well, I'll show them."
