Goofs

Continuity: When Maroon is trying to coax Eddie to take the detective job during their first meeting, Eddie goes for the glass whiskey decanter on the right. He pours himself a few sips of whiskey, an amount so small that the bottle's still very full when he puts it down. However, after Dumbo scares him and makes him drop to the floor, you see the whiskey decanter again, now missing a significantly noticeable amount of whiskey. See more »
