Bowfinger (1999)

Corrected entry: After the parking lot chase/filming scene, the Chubby Rain cast and crew are previewing the finished scene on a small screen later that day. A musical score plays over the playing scene as Carol stalks Kit...but how did Bobby and the rest of the crew create music to go with it? Logically, this is impossible, because A - there was not enough funding for a musical department, B - there is never any indication of even a makeshift musical department for the filming of Chubby Rain in the film, and C - the scene was shot earlier that day, not nearly enough time to score it.

Correction: It isn't impossible at all. There are dozens of websites that will sell you a non-exclusive licence to use music from their libraries, and they have such a huge range of music in stock that you can find everything from full orchestral symphonies to a swanee whistle toot within an hour of starting your search. Nothing to it.

Bowfinger (1999)

Corrected entry: How can the cast and crew for Chubby Rain *not* know that Kit doesn't know he was being filmed for the movie? The way he reacts in many of the scenes as the actors walk up to him and recite their lines is very unprofessional and probably not even in the script.

Correction: The crew are mostly illegal immigrants, others are completely new to acting in Hollywood, and Bowfinger and his assistant are in the know, and as we find out later, Daisy figures it out as well. The others are just naive enough to think that Kit's behavior is diva-ish.

Bowfinger (1999)

Correction: This is a question, not a mistake. But, in short, Mindhead controls Kit as much as possible, so having someone following him at all times would not be out of character.

Bowfinger (1999)

Corrected entry: When Heather Graham's character is running with Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy) towards the end of the movie, she keeps switching between speaking with her "Chubby Rain" Hispanic accent and with her normal speaking manner. Understandable she might only need to speak with a Hispanic accent for Chubby Rain's filming, but since she knew that Kit Ramsey didn't know he was being filmed for a movie, you'd think she'd try to keep her character (and hence her accent) consistent to avoid raising his suspicion.

Correction: Yes, but remember that her character is an amateur and inexperienced actress. Slipping in and out of her accent would not be out of the question for her.
