Visible crew/equipment: When Miller goes to see Andy at the hospital after they won the lawsuit, the camera and an operator are reflected on the glass door next to the shot once it moves back to show Miller opening the door. (01:43:40)
Visible crew/equipment: Boom mic visible on the upper right side of the screen when Andy's family kisses him goodbye the night he passes away.
Revealing mistake: When Andy comes to Joe's office to ask for representation his head is shaven. The transitition of artificial scalp to Andy's neck is pretty badly done, and it looks almost disgusing when he is standing in front of Joe's office after he has been declined. (00:28:30)
Dr. Armbruster: The HIV virus can only be transmitted through the exchange of bodily fluids, namely blood, semen, and vaginal secretions.
Trivia: Daniel Day-Lewis was the first considered to play this role that would give Tom Hanks an Oscar, but he refused it.
Question: At the end of the film just before Tom hanks dies, he lowers his oxygen mask and says to partner Banderas "I'm ready". Ready for what exactly? Ready to die? Ready for a bit of final smooching? Or ready (and this is just my assumption) for Banderas to pull the plug?
Chosen answer: Ready to die.
