Sin City mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Michael Clarke Duncan has Rosario Dawson tied to the chair, in one shot her left earring is tied next to her neck with the rope holding her to the chair, but in the next shot, the earring is hanging free. The shape of the earring prevents it from simply being pulled from the rope because of how rigid it is.

Continuity mistake: When Marv first meets Lucille, as he pours the pills into his mouth, the cigarette he has goes from having no smoke around it, to a large cloud between cuts.

Continuity mistake: When the girls are searching the dead bodies after Jackie Boy is killed, the position of the girls in the background changes between shots. Specifically, the character Dallas, who goes from kneeling down to standing between several shots.

Continuity mistake: When Dwight and Gail are talking just before the attack on Jackie-Boy, the wind is either blowing strongly enough to move her earrings, or not blowing at all, depending on the shot. The changes correspond precisely with the shot changes - it's not just random gusting.

Continuity mistake: When Lucille takes Marv's cigarette in the first scene, she exhales smoke in one shot without taking a puff from the cigarette.

Continuity mistake: When Jackie Boy is picking up his gun after having his hand cut off, all the carnage and blood that occurred behind him (Miho slicing up his buddies) almost entirely disappears. The only sign of it happening is the body of the decapitated man in one shot. Then everything seems to disappear for several minutes.

Suggested correction: The car is definitely visible in a couple of shots, and remember three of the guys did not make it out of the car before they were killed.

Continuity mistake: After Miho saves Dwight from the tar pit, During this scene Miho is black and white, but in Dwights first closeup you can see Miho's head in the background, her skin is tan/brown color. This was due to special effects changes as originally Miho's skin was colored in that scene and in that shot they forgot to change it. (01:13:40)

Continuity mistake: When Lucille throws the pills to Marv, he catches it with his left hand (while holding a cigarette in his right hand). The shot changes immediately to a close up on the pills in Marv's right hand. Then in the next shot Marv takes the pills, but has to take the cigarette out of his mouth first.

Marv: I don't know why you died, Goldie. I don't know why and I don't know how. I never even met you before tonight. But you were a friend and more when I needed one. And when I find out who did it, it won't be quick and quiet like it was with you. It'll be loud and nasty - my kind of kill. And when his eyes go dead, the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I've done to him. I love you, Goldie.

Trivia: Because everything was shot against a green screen, some bits of colour proved difficult. Yellow Bastard especially was hard, as yellow bleeds into the green screen and can't be separated cleanly. To get around this, Robert Rodriguez painted him blue, then turned him yellow in post production.

More trivia for Sin City

Answer: Not much is given on Miho's story in the graphic novel. Some is given in the story "A Dame to Kill For" where Dwight explains he saved her life once. Frank Miller in the extended cut DVD commentary stated she was a demon, but that is never mentioned in the story.
