Other mistake: When the prisoners take a break from digging the ditch, Jangle Leg sits down to talk to Claude. When Claude looks at Ray in confusion while Jangle Leg is still talking to him, you can see Jangle Leg sitting down below Ray.
Life (1999)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Ted Demme
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac, Nick Cassavetes, Obba Babatunde
Continuity mistake: When Ray and Claude are going to bed in the retirement home, Ray tells Claude that he's going to put his wet sheets on him when he's sleeping. If you look closely Claude starts laughing really hard, but he's not supposed to.
Claude Banks: Oh yard boy, this myrtle could use some attention - perhaps some fertilizer would restore its exuberance. Get yo ass to work.
Trivia: Fun to spot - In the scene where Eddie Murphy is fighting the big guy, after a while he says, "I know a bitch named Della who hit harder than you." Here, he is referring to Della Reese, whom he fought with in Harlem Nights.
Question: At the end of the film, how do Claude and Ray afford to live, much less have the money to attend a baseball game? They were both declared dead in a fire.
Answer: Being dead, they would have to get new I.D.s and social security numbers. Being elderly, they'd grift themselves to the proper agencies about being denied their benefits: elderly, disability and pension from the "companies" they worked for.
