Plot hole: The timing in the film is way off. Given the hours when JM Inc is open, most of the people there would only get to be Malkovich while he was asleep (yes, films have late-night shootings, but not every night); and Craig and Maxine stay up the whole time, then mess with Malkovich afterwards, then get in for work the following morning without showing any sign of fatigue even though there are less than 2 hours left for sleep.
Being John Malkovich (1999)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: Spike Jonze
Starring: John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, John Malkovich, Catherine Keener, Ned Bellamy, Eric Weinstein
Continuity mistake: When Craig and Maxine are speaking with their first client (the "Fatman"), Maxine has a clipboard with paper on top on the desk in front of her. When the shot changes, the blue clipboard is now at the top, neither Maxine nor Craig removed the paper.
Dr. Lester: I've been very lonely in my isolated tower of indecipherable speech.
Question: What is the song played around the end of the main trailer? It sounds a lot like the theme from Brazil if that helps.
