Mistakes

When Remo Gaggi is talking to Andy Stone about Ace cussing out the Board, there's a pack of cigarettes beside Gaggi in his car.  The camera angle changes to show Stone's face, who is outside the car, and when it flips back to Gaggi, there is a Zippo lighter in place of the cigarettes.  The camera goes back to Stone, and when it comes back again, the Zippo is gone and the cigarettes are back. And to top it all off, not once did Remo smoke in this scene.

Robert DeNiro was so adamant about portraying the character he was playing, that he had his suits that he had worn in the movie made by the same tailors who had made Frank Rosenthal's suits See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry When Nicky assasinates the woman who was interviewed after her court appearance in her kitchen (sorry, I can't find her character name), he holds her head and shoots her repeatedly with a handgun in the head. It appears that while shooting her with his right hand, the bullets would have had to strike his left hand or arm. [The scene is accurate. It is based on the murder of Tamara Rand, who claimed to be a partner in the Stardust casino. She was shot five times in the head by Anthony Spilotro, on whom Joe Pesci's character Nicky Santoro is based. He used a silenced .22 pistol with split, 'dum-dum' bullets. Rand had restriction bruises on her head and neck showing Spilotro held her still the way Santoro is shown holding his victim "Anna Scott". The split bullets did not have the velocity to enter, traverese and exit a human skull, as Spilotro (and thus Santoro) knew, and his hand and arm were in no danger. (In fact one bullet did exit, through Rand's ear. This is accurately depicted in the film.).]
Entry Director Martin Scorcese makes three separate cameo appearances. The first is at the Casino hearing, sitting next to Mr. Greene. The second is when Robert DeNiro answers the door after calling back home for help to find his daughter. The third is the scene in the count room. He is in that scene as well. [It is not Scorcese. It is an actor who happens to look a lot like him.]
Entry When De Niro and Stone deposit the cash million into safety deposit boxes, there are several skinny boxes storing the money. When Stone retrieves money from the bank on at least two occasions, it is one great big box. [It is a different bank. The one big box is from their bank in Vegas. The money in LA was banked under an assumed name.]

Entry When Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone deposit the cash in case of kidnappings and shake-downs, they deposit it in L.A. When Sharon Stone goes to the bank to withdraw it, she just drives to a bank in Vegas. We know it's in Vegas because Las Vegas policemen go with her. [She doesn't get the shake-down money. It is money from their bank account in Vegas. Earlier, we see her take her daughter to the bank so she can play with the jewellery. Also the bank manager tells Ace that he cannot stop her taking money out as it is a joint account. The money in LA is under the name of Mr and Mrs Collins.]
Corrected by John Elwen
Entry When Joe Pesci and his brother are dragged into their desert grave, their limbs are still very much intact. If they had really been beaten that violently by several men with metal bats, their limbs would have turned to mush. [It's obvious that the men concentrated their beating on the head, face, and torso of the brothers (as evident in the severe swelling and damage visible). It also would not make much sense to beat their arms/legs, as the intent was to kill, not to maim or disfigure.]
Entry When Robert De Niro is at the restaurant with Sharon Stone when he catches her with James Woods. He put a stack of money on the table, In one scene the bills are flat, in the next scene they are curled up on the edges, then they go flat again. [You only see the money twice and both times they look almost identical in both shots.]
Entry After Nicky robs the jewelery shop by banging through the wall, he fences the diamonds to the two Arabs. The Arab that is sitting down says, "This diamond has flaws in it." Then they both start speaking Arabic. Then the one sitting speaks English again and the mobster says. "Oh now he speaks English?" [The mobster only said that after the older Arab, that was sitting at the desk quoted him a price in english after he finished arguing with the other Arab, that was sitting on top of the desk.]
Entry At the end when Nicky & his brother Dominic are getting beat with bats. The bat guys drag Dominic into the grave. After they beat Nicky & drag him into the grave on top of his brother, his brother is turned in the opposite direction than when he was thrown in. [Given that they're being buried alive, it's entirely possible that Dominic turned himself over in the grave.]
Entry In the scene at the end of the movie, Robert De Niro's car is blown up, his jacket sleeve catches on fire and he jumps out of the car, where two guys help him to get away from the car -all in broad daylight. In the next shot he is being carried away in a stretcher with the car still burning in the background, and it is completely dark. [There is no time stated when the car went off (maybe 6pm). So, it is plausibe that it went off close to night time and by the time the paramedics arrived, treated De Niro and placed him in the ambulance, it could have turned to night.]
Entry In the scene where Robert DeNiro is proposing to Sharon Stone, they show a panoramic view from their apartment of modern day Las Vegas, showing alot of hotels built in the nineties (most notably the Stratosphere Tower built in 1996 and Caesar's Palace renovated in 1997). The proposal happened in the Seventies. [This movie was made in 1995 and unless the movie makers figured out time travel than the Stratosphere and Caesar's Palace renovation must have been done before 1995, not 1996 and 1997.]
