Continuity mistake: Check the glass of water on the table in front of the little girl. When they shoot from afar, you can see the level of the water is lower than when she actually picks it up to drink it. (00:12:15)
The Insider (1999)
1 picture
Directed by: Michael Mann
Starring: Christopher Plummer, Al Pacino, Russell Crowe, Michael Gambon, Philip Baker Hall, Diane Venora
Continuity mistake: Halfway through the film, Al Pacino phones his assistant who is sleeping. She turns on the light and picks up the phone. In the background you can see a tall building with all the lights on. When the director cuts back to her the building is not there. (02:17:45)
Mike Wallace: Am I missing something?
John Harris: What do you mean, Mike?
Mike Wallace: I mean, he's got a corporate secrecy agreement - give me a break! I mean, this is a public health issue! Like an unsafe airframe on a passenger jet or some company dumping cyanide into the East River, issues like that! He can talk, we can air it! They've got no right to hide behind a "corporate agreement"! Pass the milk.
