Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Michael Douglas tells Glenn Close that he has a 6 year old daughter. Later in the movie when Douglas is talking to his wife on the phone about the daughter missing school, she says "She's 5 years old, what is she gonna miss, Trigonometry?"

More mistakes in Fatal Attraction
Dan Gallagher: Do you remember the girl, who came to the apartment?
Beth Gallagher: The one with the blond hair.
Trivia: The original ending had Alex Forrest committing suicide with Dan Gallagher arrested for her death.
Question: Why does Alex abduct Ellen and take her to a carnival?
Answer: Because she's unhinged! And she wants Dan to know that she can get to him, or in this case his daughter, anytime she wants. And she's angry that Dan had an affair with her then went back to his wife.
Answer: So her parents (especially her father) would go through hell, not knowing where she was or if she was safe.
