Corrected entry: In the scene where Bruce Willis puts the real Nick Fisher's body into a truck he rolls it up a ramp into the truck. Later when the truck is seen driving along the highway there is a lift gate on the back of the truck which means it would not have a ramp.

Correction: Lift gate rental trucks have both a ramp and a liftgate on them. Budget Truck Dealer - 7 years.

Corrected entry: Jesse Gonder was long gone from the Mets in 1979. He last played for them in 1965.

Correction: This is likely a valid mistake, but needs more information as to how it pertains to the movie.

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie we are presented with several different views of what the mansion looks like. At the beginning when Loomis plays it, later when the group does, and at the end when they finally enter the mansion, we are given 3 totally different mansions.

Correction: This was submitted to the wrong movie.

Corrected entry: When the Boss's men come to get Slevin, he already has some marks on his face from being punched in the nose. But when he is in the car with the Boss's men (after one of them had broken his nose again), the marks on either side of his nose have gone, but are back when he meets the Boss.

Correction: Those are dimples in the bridge of his nose; if you notice Josh Hartnett has a bulge there. When he moves around you can see the dimples change color or disappear.

Corrected entry: In both scenes where Bruce Willis comes down the elevator thing in the car garage (in the regular storyline, and the retelling later), he shoots one of the bookies in the back. The camera angle shows the shooting happening with the car in view. It is plain to the eye that the driver's side window looks already shattered both times.

Correction: It only looks like it's broken, but it's actually wet from rain or morning condensation.

Corrected entry: When Lindsey takes a photo of 'Smith' she moves in front of him to take the picture, yet when she shows Slevin the picture, the picture is of a side profile not face on when she took it.

Correction: That's because she took it on a camera phone, on some phones the pictures aren't taken as soon as you push the button, so she may have pushed it when she was in front of him, but then as she moved back it caught the image.

Corrected entry: As Slevin is walking down the hallway to The Fairy's apartment, his hair changes between shots. It goes from sticking up to slicked down to sticking up and back to slicked down again.

Correction: His hair changes because they keep going back on shots. When it is sticking up, he is walking to the Bosses place, and when it's down, he's walking to the Fairy's place.

Continuity mistake: When Slevin is in Nick's apartment the second time, eating the sandwich, the way he holds it changes between shots.

Question: Did Slevin actually suffer from Ataraxia? He lied about most things, and I couldn't be certain about that.

Answer: I've considered 2 possibilities. One being the answer given about his cover, but I think he may have actually had it. When Goodcat is pointing a gun in his face as a child, he doesn't look scared in the least. The death of his parents "killed him" giving him the condition. Later proof is when he tells the Boss "You can only kill me once."

Answer: I don't think so. Everything that happens is a part of his plan, so rather than try to act scared, he just tells people he has a condition. In reality, he was very worried for Lindsay and pre-occupied with revenge.

Answer: No, like the rest of his "cover" (being mugged, being a friend of Nick's) he made it up. It was simply a way to plausibly explain why he was so calm through everything, when in fact he was calm because it was all part of his plan.

Answer: I doubt he suffered from ataraxia. His ability to be calm, "cool", and collected (under circumstances in which most people would be anxious, afraid, etc.) is more likely due to sociopathy. Sociopaths also tend to be chronic liars and manipulators and can be great impostors. Many have lost one or both parents early in life - Slevin's parents were murdered during his adolescence and he was subsequently reared by a career criminal. Slevin was also seeking vengeance for the murders that happened many years earlier, so having "peace of mind" or tranquility BEFORE getting the revenge seems highly unlikely.
