Continuity mistake: The licence plate of the taxi which hits Sebastian in the end changes during the shot. (01:27:35)
Revealing mistake: In the swimming pool scene between Annette and Sebastian, a positioning mark can be seen quite clearly on the floor. [The swimming pool used was freezing cold, about 40 degrees, so Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon were freezing (look close and you can see Ryan shivering), and so were the camera crew, that they didn't repeat the shot, so the positioning mark was left in.] (00:28:05)
Continuity mistake: In the final scene where Annette is driving the Jaguar and having flashbacks, watch as she drives past lovely rolling hills and pastures. Cut to a helicopter shot of her driving the car along a New York freeway (FDR I think...) This mistake has been confirmed by the director. (01:33:35)
Trivia: This movie is a retelling of the story of "Dangerous Liaisons."
Trivia: Contrary to what some people think, Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon didn't meet while filming this movie; they were already dating. The director, Roger Kumble, asked Phillippe if they could have dinner with Witherspoon and offer her the role of Annette.
Kathryn: So I assume you've come here to make arrangements, but unfortunately, I don't fuck losers.
Question: Did Ronald really love Cecile, or did he just want to sleep with her? He sent her love letters, but later on, he sleeps with Kathryn. When Kathryn calls him and pretends that Sebastian attacked her, he hurries to go see her, leaving Cecile asleep in bed. So who did he really care about?
Answer: A bit of both. I believe that Ronald did love Cecile. But I also believe that Kathryn manipulated him in such a way and so much that he eventually gave in to his masculine tendencies. He's only human, after all. He wasn't anticipating Kathryn telling anyone, let alone Sebastian finding them in the act.
Question: Were Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippee married before or after this film was made?
Answer: After. They met at Reese's 21st birthday party and subsequently worked together in Cruel Intentions. They wed on the 5th of June, 1999, which was after Cruel Intentions was completed.
Answer: Sebastian could have had a will and left it to her. Plus she was likely either in jail or rehab after being caught with cocaine, leaving her with little power to do anything about it.
