Corrected entry: While Chris is leaving his tennis bag in Opera's cloakroom, it contains a shotgun. Plot's taking place after the terrorist attempts in London's underground and in that time everyone entering such a public place was obligated to go through check point with metal detectors.
Match Point (2005)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Woody Allen
Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Matthew Goode
Continuity mistake: When Chris finds Nola in the Tate Modern Museum, her arm changes from bent to down between front and back shots.
Nola Rice: Men think I may be something special.
Chris Wilton: Are you?
Nola Rice: No one's ever asked for their money back.
Question: Is Nola really pregnant? She's taking medicine and the police say nothing about a pregnancy to Chris, when they show him Nola's diary.
Answer: No, she's not pregnant.
Wasn't there a clip of her with a positive pregnancy test? But in saying that, surely she would have written about it in her diary, and it would have shown up on her autopsy.
Answer: Yes, she was pregnant. At the end, Mrs. Eastby's ghost confronts Chris about killing his unborn child by murdering Nola. This was intended as a literary plot device known as "exposition." It tells the audience that Nola was pregnant and that Chris, by his response, knew it was true, making his crime even more heinous.
Mrs. Eastby's ghost could just as easily be conjured up by Chris's own mind, which means that "she" wouldn't know anything that Chris wouldn't know. If you're going to be snarky, it helps to have thought through the possibilities a bit better.
Correction: And so one must ask oneself, does this particular (and fictionalized, if not entirely fictional) opera house actually HAVE metal detectors? Since it's obviously not addressed within the film, this isn't really a mistake, but rather a necessary (if perhaps slightly illogical) plot device.
