Arthur (1981)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Steve Gordon
Starring: Dudley Moore, John Gielgud, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Liza Minnelli
Continuity mistake: Arthur and Hobson run outside to watch Linda after she steals a tie. Hobson is holding a bag with a box in it. Later in the scene, when Arthur is putting Linda in his limo, he hands her the box. Two problems. First, we never see the box being taken out of the bag. And second, the box presumably contains Arthur's purchases. Why would he give it to her? In the next scene, Linda's father opens the box, and it contains the stolen tie.
Arthur: Bathing is a lonely business. Except for fish, fish all bathe together. Although they do tend to eat one another.
Trivia: John Belushi was the first choice to play Arthur. Belushi thought the script was excellent but he turned down the role as he had already played a hard-drinking guy in ‘Animal House', and feared being typecast as a substance abuser.
