Correction: The table seen as she is walking away is a completely different table. The cup stays in its proper place the entire time. Please rewatch the scene.

Corrected entry: Right before the big fight scene near the end of the movie, When Ali Larter is lying on the bed, the shirt is on inside out, but when Beyonce walks in 1 second later the shirt is on the right way.

Correction: The shirt appearing "inside out" is because the first shot of her wearing the shirt is her reflection in the mirror on the ceiling above the bed. It was reversed, not inside out.

Questions

Question: It seems whenever this movie is played on TV, the start of the scene where Sharon is yelling at Derek in the house edits out the part at the start where Sharon yells "What? WHAT!?" and throws and breaks a dish. Why is this edited out? It always starts at the line she says right after that.

Answer: There is no set format for a feature-length film's running time in theaters (some bodies state a minimum of 40 minutes, some 80). They are edited to fit TV scheduling. Scenes are often cut short or deleted entirely to eliminate objectionable content, but also so the film can begin and end on the hour or half hour (i.e. It starts precisely at 8:00 p.m. And ends at 10:00 pm) so that the next program can run. It also has to allow time for commercials and station breaks during the airing. This often leaves the original movie rather chopped-up. That is probably what happened with this particular film.
