The Menu (2022)

Revealing mistake: The very first shot of the movie, supposedly of Anya Taylor-Joy lighting a cigarette, does not match the following shot on the pier; the cigarette appears to be black and with a brand sleeve instead of the normal one she is smoking. The background confusingly looks more like an interior than the pier she is standing on, and the lighter is a common Bic-style one instead of the Zippo she is using also later in the movie. That's because it's actually stock footage. You can literally find the clip yourself on Shutterstock and similar websites, by the description "Close-up of the silhouette of a woman's face sticking a cigarette into her lips, igniting her with a lighter, and exhaling smoke. The grim concept of the harm of smoking in a low key." (00:01:00)

Trivia: A great deal of the food in the movie was actually elaborately made props, since real food would spoil very quickly after sitting out under hot stage lights. The cheeseburger Anya Taylor-Joy eats was one of the pieces of real food the production made. The rest of the cast was a little jealous she got to eat a real burger while they pretended to eat fake food. John Leguizamo ordered 5 Guys at the end of the day so everyone could enjoy a burger.
