Audio problem: The auctioneer says the object that Oliver is bidding on is Japanese, but the insert angle of the brochure said it was Chinese. It could be a character mistake, but that wouldn't move the plot anywhere and, besides, this is a movie, so the one who designed the brochure most probably didn't know what the script said.
The War of the Roses (1989)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Danny DeVito
Starring: Danny DeVito, Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Marianne Sagebrecht
Revealing mistake: In the shot where Barbara is cartwheeling down the stairs after Oliver wrestles the ornament from her in the previous shot, the stairs have become totally flat like a ramp.
Oliver Rose: I think you owe me a solid reason. I worked my ass off for you and the kids to have a nice life and you owe me a reason that makes sense. I want to hear it.
Barbara Rose: Because. When I watch you eat. When I see you asleep. When I look at you lately, I just want to smash your face in.
Trivia: In this film, to get back at Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas saws off all the heels of his wife's shoes; in the film "Romancing the Stone", which was filmed earlier, Michael Douglas, using a machete, chops the heels off Kathleen Turner's shoes for practical purposes.
