Continuity mistake: The chunks of ice in the asylum dunking scene appear and disappear. When Lawrence is brought to the surface, he has two chucks of ice on him that fall off leaving none, but when the shot cuts to him being raised and locked upright, there's a chunk of ice on his right arm. A minute later when he's lowered again into the tank, there's a large chuck by his hip but vanishes when the shot switches showing Lawrence's left side. (01:07:45)

The Wolfman (2010) is a lavish reboot of the original classic film that has nearly all of the ingredients for a hit-great cast, scenery and sets, costumes and music-but not the best screenplay and lacking in suspense and surprises. The practical effects actually outshine the CGI visuals, and the murky atmosphere doesn't hide Joe Johnston's directorial pacing or the script's inability to make the characters more compelling. In short, it's a movie that could and should have been better, but the various parts just didn't add up to more than some gory, snarling whole with an odd, emotional disconnect.

Gwen Conliffe: It is said, there is no sin in killing a beast, only in killing a man. But where does one begin and the other end?
Trivia: Maybe more coincidence than trivia, but towards the end of the film, Gwen shoots and kills the Wolfman/Lawrence Talbot - in effect, beauty kills the beast. In Universal Studios' other major classic monster movie, King Kong, the beauty kills the big ape, albeit indirectly.
