A Mighty Wind

After many complications (including Mitch leaving the theatre at the last minute to go rose-shopping) the show goes off without a hitch. Mitch and Mickey even kiss onstage during their song "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow." Six months later, we find that both Mitch (whose mental condition has improved) and Mickey (who now performs at her husband's catheter conventions) hope that the other wasn't misled by the onstage kiss, but agree that it was good to see each other. Meanwhile, the New Main Street Singers' manager has gotten them a (seemingly successful)T.V. show in which they play folk-music loving U.S. Supreme Court justices. The Folksmen, however, are now playing in front of the restroom of a casino, though bass player Mark Shubb has discovered that he was really a woman trapped in a bald man's body, and resolves to spend the rest of his (her?) life as one.

A Mighty Wind mistake picture

Continuity mistake: As the New Main Street Singers are performing their second song at the show, you can see Parker Posey pretend to use her guitar as a shotgun. The strap for the guitar drops from her shoulder down to her right forearm when she does this. When the shot changes the strap is back up over her shoulder. (01:01:40)

Terry Bohner: This is not an occult science. This is not one of those crazy systems of divination and astrology. That stuff's hooey, and you've got to have a screw loose to go in for that sort of thing. Our beliefs are fairly commonplace and simple to understand. Humankind is simply materialized color operating on the 49th vibration. You would make that conclusion walking down the street or going to the store.

Trivia: The music historian who appears early in the film is called Martin Berg. Almost certainly a reference to Marty DiBergi from This Is Spinal Tap.
