Trivia

Jamie Dornan joked that he did not like doing too many scenes with co-star Eric Johnson who plays his romantic rival in the film because Johnson is "too tall" and doesn't make him look too good.

Goofs

As Christian and Roz approach Mt. St. Helens in the helicopter, they first see it approaching from the northeast as if they were flying southwest toward Portland from central Washington. Then, they are seen flying north around the eastern face of the mountain, with Crystal Lake in front of them, in the opposite direction from the previous shot. Neither of which accounts for why they were anywhere near Mt. St. Helens in the first place. It's nowhere near any convenient flight plan from Portland to Seattle.

Quotes

Hannah: Maybe now would be a good time to go over what you expect of me.
Anastasia Steele: I expect you to call me Ana. I don't expect you to fetch me coffee unless you're getting some for yourself. And the rest we'll just make up as we go along.

Crazy Credits

In the theatrical & home media releases, the brief teaser trailer for Fifty Shades Freed (2018) is shown halfway through the closing credits. On the HBO version, the trailer is deleted to go to straight into the shortened Perfect World Pictures logo.

User Reviews

How can a movie that bad exist?

One of the worst movies I've seen in years. Terrible acting, no plot and pointless sex scenes.
