Directed by: Alan Parker
Starring: Kevin Spacey, Kate Winslet, Laura Linney, Cleo King, Constance Jones
Audio problem: When Constance informs David that he has been put on official "sabbatical" and unofficially released (as a professor), she adds vocally that the vote was "4-2". However, her lips do not move, and the exact vote turnout sounds distorted, because it was edited later.
Audio problem: When Bitsy and Zach arrive at the motel Zach gets out of the car and we hear his door close normally. When Bitsy gets out she visibly slams the door, yet there is no sound.
Factual error: The movie leaves the impression that Huntsville, Texas and Austin, Texas are just a short distance apart. In reality, they are at least three hours apart.
Ross: As the poets have mournfully sung/ death takes the innocent young/ the screamingly funny, / the rolling in money, / and those who are very well hung.
Trivia: Bitsey and the intern are staying at the Randolph Motel. Randolph is the last name of the writer of the movie.
Question: Where did the money come from that was sent to David Gale's wife?
Answer: The money was from the magazine that paid Gale for his story.
