Mistakes

When Trevor is chasing the Pontiac and notes down the number plate, he writes (and says out loud) NRC 743, but when the shot changes to the plate itself, it shows 743 NRC. See more...

Trivia

When Trevor is following Ivan through the tunnel, he reads the number plate out as NRC 743 on the red Firebird. When the shot changes to Trevor's pickup, the number plate reads 347 CRN. Could this be a clue to a mirror image twist? 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 In the scene where we are introduced to Ivan, Reznik pushes in the car's cigarette lighter. It takes a good 30-40 seconds, I believe, to finish lighting. Later in the movie, when he pushes it in again, it takes only a few seconds to light. [It does take long for the lighter to work, but because hes imagining the meeting, it could have been only a second in real time.]
Entry When Trevor went to the police station to report his/Ivan's car and they said it was listed as belonging to him, why did the policeman automatically leap to the conclusion that he was committing a crime? Surely a more obvious conclusion would be that he had some form of amnesia caused by the crash, and he was "remembering" his own car's number plate rather than the car that hit him. [The policeman said, "The car you are reporting as having hit you is licensed to your name and you reported it wrecked a year ago. Are you aware that making a false police report is a felony?" - so he wasn't leaping to a conclusion, he was actually alleging something completely new towards Trevor.]
Entry In the film Trevor was an insomniac, so I doubt he would be allowed to operate dangerous heavy machinery? [Trevor's boss didn't know he was an insomniac. He even makes a remark asking what is wrong with him thinking it was drugs.]
Entry In the scene where Trevor goes into the bathroom at the bar, he tries to get soap but the soap dispenser falls to the floor. When he turns around to look for something else to wash his hands with, you can see the soap dispenser still on the wall. [No it isn't - there is a second soap dispenser on the other side of the sink, but the one Trevor knocks to the floor stays on the floor. You can see the marks where it's been on the wall.]
