Sin City

Corrected entry: Nancy never gives any personal information in her letters to Hartigan, but he knows exactly how to get to her house when he gets out of prison. She couldn't have been listed anywhere under her own name, because Junior says he's been looking for her for years, and he would've easily found her.

Correction: Nancy goes by her real name, as evidenced when Hartigan goes to the strip club and asks if anybody knows Nancy. Secondly Junior never seems to realize that Nancy is the girl he kidnapped and was going to rape when Hartigan came along and stopped him. It is quite possible and likely that Junior holding a grudge for what Hartigan did to him wanted to take everything that was close to Hartigan away from him. Once a week letters for 8 years would be a nice tip-off that somebody still cared for him. Finally, obviously Rourke didn't care if Nancy was alive or not because they let her live immediately after the kidnapping even though she could ID and give an account of what happened. Without her using her real name or giving a return address they had no real way of knowing it was Nancy who was sending the letters.

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie when Bruce Willis is trying to find the little girl, his tie has some kind of pattern. When he gets to that dock place his tie is all white. Obviously he wouldn't stop his frantic chase for the girl to change his tie.

Correction: The effects the movie produces can easily alter patterns and such as they did with colors and blood. This is just another effect.

Factual error: When Marv is talking with the Priest in the confessional, he cocks the hammer of his pistol as a means of interrogation. But in the next shot, the pistol is uncocked, without sufficient time for this to occur. In fact, the pistol is uncocked even when Marv shoots him. This cannot happen, since his pistol is a standard 1911 .45, which requires the hammer to be cocked in order to fire.

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.

Chosen answer: I think we can safely assume that "The Man" kills Becky in the elevator, yes. But unlike the first woman, Becky had done something to piss off a lot of people (basically betraying all the girls working in Old Town), and they sent him to eliminate her.
