The Jackal (1997)

Trivia: The scene in which the Jackal kills Douglas was re-shot at Bruce Willis' request. He wanted to show that Douglas was killed because he knew too much about the Jackal's identity, instead of simply because he was gay. (01:32:00)

Insomnia (2002)

Question: Throughout the film, there are segues which feature blood seeping through what looks like some kind of fabric. Does that represent anything, and if so, what?

Cubs Fan

Chosen answer: It represents Al Pacino's character planting evidence on men he knew were guilty. He was planting the victim's blood on their clothes so the evidence would be stronger against them.

In addition, there is a repeated scene where someone (Dormer) is wiping something on or off a fabric.

24: Redemption (2008)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jack asks Willie to help him reload the wheelbarrow, after "accidentally" dumping the contents out, Jack struggles to load a bag with two hands, but Willie is able to lift one relatively easily, one-handed.

The Dark Knight (2008)

Question: I know this is bound to be a major point of debate (and I don't mean to imply it's the only reason he did), but with the recent Oscar ceremony, would Heath Ledger still have won if he hadn't died?

Cubs Fan

Chosen answer: While there is no real way to know the true answer to your question, in my opinion yes he would. Other actors have been nominated posthumously in the past but not won.

24: Redemption (2008)

Character mistake: When Allison Taylor arrives at the White House, a Secret Service agent greets her as "Madam President". Since she hasn't been sworn in yet, he should know to address her as "Madam President-elect".
