Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Richard Jenkins, Michael Shannon, Octavia Spencer, Sally Hawkins
Factual error: While featuring a brand-new 1962 Cadillac, a 1963 Chevrolet and 1963 Ford are shown.
Audio problem: When Michael Shannon fires his gun, you can hear bullet casings falling to the floor, as is normal with a semi-automatic pistol. However, his gun is a revolver, so the casings won't eject until the gun is opened and emptied manually before reloading. (01:07:10)
Strickland: [to Elisa] What'd you say to me?
Elisa: [Signing] F - U - C - K
Strickland: What is she saying?
Elisa: Y - O - U
Zelda: Uh, I, I didn't catch it.
Strickland: [pointing at Elisa] what is SHE saying?
Zelda: She is saying "Thank you".
Trivia: Guillermo del Toro wrote the parts of Elisa and Strickland specifically for Sally Hawkins and Michael Shannon. Giles was written for Ian McKellan, who was unavailable, but Richard Jenkins, whom got the part, was del Toro's second choice for the role.
