Million Dollar Baby

Frankie is an ex-boxer who owns a pretty run down gym and Morgan Freeman is his helper/assistant. Maggie, a poor girl, comes in one day and wants Frankie to be her trainer/manager. He refuses at first but is worn down by her will power. She starts winning matches left and right (ha ha). Then her white trash family rejects her completely and she tells Frankie, he's the only one she's got. Frankie, who goes to a catholic church everyday and enjoys pestering the priest with theological questions, has a dark secret.

Continuity mistake: In Maggie's first fight (when Frankie isn't her manager), she comes off after the first round and takes her mouthpiece out. After talking to the manager, she gets back up to enter the ring without putting it back in, but when the bell rings she has it in again.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Boxing is an unnatural act. Cos everything in it is backwards. You wanna move to the left, you don't step left, you push on the right toe. To move right, you use your left toe. Instead of running from the pain - like a sane person would do, you step into it.
