Revealing mistake: In some of the scenes where we see Maggie in the hospital bed, you can see that her breathing is not totally in sync with the breathing machine (i.e. her chest goes up before you actually hear the machine blowing air into her).
Million Dollar Baby (2004)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Hilary Swank, Jay Baruchel
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.
British referee: Ten minutes, luv.
Maggie Fitzgerald: Man says he loves me.
Frankie Dunn: Well, he's probably not the first one to say that.
Maggie Fitzgerald: First since my daddy.
Frankie Dunn: Hm.
Maggie Fitzgerald: I win, you think he'll propose?
Frankie Dunn: You win, I'll propose.
Trivia: The "little girl in truck" is Clint Eastwood's real-life daughter, Morgan.
Question: Spoiler! Doesn't Maggie have the legal right to refuse any type of life support? She's completely cognitive and in possession of all her mental faculties. Why does Frankie have to sneak in and illegally participate in her assisted suicide?
Answer: Suicide is a sin and is said that you go to hell if you commit suicide. By Frankie doing it, it frees her spiritually from damnation in the eyes of God.
Answer: Yes, there was an article in last week's Sunday paper about how the medical community is up in arms over the mis-portrayal of patient's rights issues.
