Thank You for Smoking (2005)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Jason Reitman
Starring: J.K. Simmons, Aaron Eckhart, Rob Lowe, Maria Bello, Cameron Bright, Joan Lunden
Continuity mistake: During the Subcommittee Hearing scene, the person sitting behind Nick Naylor, on his left, changes repeatedly between shots: Right before he is asked to come forward, the chair is occupied by a woman in a blue shirt. When he sits down, a man is seated there. Immediately after one of the senators asks, "What about the children?", the woman is back - but only for a few seconds.
Nick Naylor: The message Hollywood needs to send out is 'Smoking Is Cool!'.
Trivia: Not one cigarette is lit in this movie, or smoked.
