Continuity mistake: After Harriet tells the two Russian sailors off, they walk to the other side of the columns awfully quick considering the short amount of time between the exchange and the next shot of them in the background. They must have run part of the way.

So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993)
Plot summary
Directed by: Thomas Schlamme
Starring: Mike Myers, Anthony LaPaglia, Nancy Travis, Amanda Plummer
Charlie, a commitment-phobic beat poet, meets a lovely woman butcher named Harriet. He falls for her, but due to some strange coincidences from her life and a tabloid story, he believes her to be an infamous axe-murderer. After realizing he loves her and doesn't want to throw away this chance, he marries her anyway, but can't shake the question of is she the murderer?
Charlie Mackenzie: Harriet. Harry-ette. Hard-hearted harbinger of haggis. Beautiful, bemuse-ed, bellicose butcher. Un-trust... ing. Un-know... ing. Un-love... ed?"He wants you back," he screamed into the night air like a fireman going to a window that has no fire... except the passion of his heart. I am lonely. It's really hard. This poem... sucks.





Answer: The version without the axe is the original version. It was a later version that "shopped" in the weapon, presumably to even up the picture and mirror the fact that Charlie has something behind his back. Technically, the axe version doesn't even make sense since Harriet is not, in fact, an axe murderer.
