Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, David Bowie
Visible crew/equipment: When Angier goes to Tesla's laboratory and walks to the gate, on the far right side of the fence a figure can be seen, apparently holding something ahead. It seems to be one of the film crew holding a boom mike upright. (00:09:59)
Revealing mistake: When one twin (presumably Alfred) is removing the other twin's fingers, "Alfred's" upper arm passes through his twin's head as "Alfred" reaches for the hammer. [Fixed on DVD.]
Ackerman: We'll have to dress it up a little. Disguise it. Give them enough reason to doubt it.
Trivia: The "Chinaman" in the movie was based on a real-life magician. He wasn't Asian at all, he just dressed and lived the part. The first English he ever spoke in his career were his last words. When a bullet catch went awry, he uttered the words, "My God, I've been shot" just before his death.
Question: When Borden and Fallon are in the same scene, is someone else playing Fallon? Or does Christian Bale play both, the same way Arnie Hammer did on Social Network?
Answer: It's Bale, at least whenever you can see Fallon's face. The same way they do twins played by the same person in any other film.
