Denzel Washington and Robert Townsend in The Mighty Quinn (1989)

Goofs

The Mighty Quinn

Edit

Continuity

When Fred Miller ties up Ubu Pearl in her wheelchair, he wraps her once then ties off the back, but from the front we see two wraps of the scarf around her.
When Quinn is sitting at the piano and is handed the bottle of rum, he takes it with his right hand. In the next shot, he bumps fists with his empty right hand. In the next shot, the bottle is again in his right hand.
When Quinn enters the beach structure towards the end, he is wearing an empty gun holsters. Shortly afterwards when he fights Maubee, the holster is mysterious gone.
In the audition, Quinn is holding a cup in his mouth between songs. The drink level changes between shots.

Miscellaneous

When Quinn is in the bar playing the piano his Jamaican disappears and he sings with his New York accent voice.

He was likely singing the first version he sang along with, released by Manfred Mann (who has no Jamaican accent) in 1968 .

Character error

One of the officials says that there is not a $10,000 bill. There is a $10,000 bill. It bears the portrait of Salmon P. Chase. Another says if they get one they have to turn it over to the Secret Service.

This is not true. It is legal to own and you can still spent it as face value.

The same person said that they were issued twice once in the 1930s and again in the 1950s. They were only issued in the 1930s.

That official was Police Chief Quinn and he was reporting what he had learned from whoever gave him the incorrect information, so: their Character Error, not his.
