Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)

Goofs

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Edit

Continuity

Gina's panties are white in the up-skirt as she sits on the steps of Hank's apartment. When Gina goes into Hank's apartment and gets undressed, her panties are black.
In the first holdup sequence, the shade on the front door of the shop is all the way down. In later shots the shade is nearly open.
When Charles is following Andy, the same woman can be seen walking down the street, in opposite directions before and after.
When Andy is wrestling Justin for the gun, he has Justin pinned to the ground with his body and their hands fight for the gun. When Hank rushes over to help, only two second later, he is shown pulling Justin off of Andy.
When Charles is talking to the fence, items on the table change from shot to shot.

Factual errors

Charles takes his drivers license renewal test on a Saturday. However, all Department of Motor Vehicle offices in New York City are closed on Saturdays or Sundays.
When Andy's home landline phone is left knocked across the bedroom on the floor (during his long depressive tantrum), at the end of the scene, a repetitive jarring beep beep beep beep phone off the hook tone is heard, but overlaid with that sound sample is an operator saying, if you'd like to make a call. Only one or the other is played at a time, with a real landline phone.
When Andy is shown being injected with heroin, the film shows Justin first withdrawing blood into the small syringe, to "confirm that he is in a vein," with the rubber tube tourniquet applied, above the level of the needle. However, when he subsequently injects the drug, he does not first remove the tourniquet, which would be normal practice when administering intravenous medication.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

There is a repeat of the scene showing Andy answering Hank's pay phone call after the robbery. In one, the receptionist says "...sounds like some kind of nut case" and Andy says "Yeah, I'll take it." In the repeat, the receptionist says "Sounds like a nut case" and Andy says "I got it." However, this is to show the scene from different "viewpoints."

Miscellaneous

Hank is basically father of the year for not giving his daughter $130 to see a Lion King play on Broadway with her schoolmates; throughout the film, he has lots of money for hard drinks and liquor at his local bar.
Hank uses a jacket to wipe all fingerprints from a rental car in a parking lot. Hank is then shown returning the rental car, but his bare hand is touching the handle inside, outside, and the upper edge of the window to shut the door. - CORRECTION: Hank was only wiping Bobby's fingerprints off the car. Since he rented the car, it didn't matter whether his fingerprints were on/in it.

Crew or equipment visible

When Andy and Hank break into Justin's apartment, a camera shadow can briefly be seen on a wall tracking past.

Errors in geography

When Charles phones the police department looking for Detective Barrett to check up on his wife's case, the phone is answered by the greeting "22nd Precinct." The 22nd Precinct is the NYPD Central Park Precinct in Manhattan. Follow-up on a case out of Westchester, where the crime took place, would either be a Brooklyn precinct since we learned that Bobby LaSorda was from Red Hook, Brooklyn or with the Midtown North Precinct (also known as the 18th), the home of NYC's diamond district, the most likely known destination for the would-be stolen loot within local NY law enforcement. There would be no reason to phone the Central Park Precinct.

Plot holes

When Charlie, in the hospital, calls for a nurse, a nurse, along with several other people and a trolley with equipment, runs toward him. But there was no way for the nurse to know that this was an emergency or the nature of the emergency. He could have been calling for a drink of water.

Character error

In the scene where Andy and Gina are discussing whether they should leave for Rio, she mentions that there are no extradition treaties between Brazil and the United States. This is not true, although her comment was actually more a jab at her husband than actual knowledge.
When the fence shows Charles Andy's business card there is a cell phone number listed though Andy claims he does not own a cell phone and is only shown talking on land line phones throughout the film.
When Andy enters the bedroom of the drug dealers apartment he removes his shoes before laying on the bed. Once he's being injected with heroin you can see that he's still wearing his dress shoes.
