Audio problem: When they go to celebrate Seth passing the Series 7, Richie asks who ordered the beer and another character asks what's up. Richie says, "What's up, I hate Bud" but his lips are saying something else.
Boiler Room (2000)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Ben Younger
Starring: Vin Diesel, Giovanni Ribisi, Nia Long, Scott Caan, Jamie Kennedy, Nicky Katt
Factual error: In the scene where the FBI agents have taken Giovanni Ribisi in for interrogation, one of the FBI agents says at one point "...and I want the whole C:/ Drive backed up on a floppy.", which is pretty hard to do, if not impossible, unless you've got about a 5Mb hard disk drive (depending on compression levels). But later on in the scene where Ribisi is actually doing it, he does it in about 10 seconds...with a 1.44MB floppy.
Richie: Get the fuck out of here before I put you in a mayonnaise jar.
Question: Did the arriving FBI agents at the end of the movie let Seth leave because they knew he was going to testify against the firm?
Answer: Yes. Actually, with the help of Seth's dad, he cut a deal to testify.
