• When Bill tells Selma he has no money, Selma's hair repeatedly switches from being over her ears, to being tucked behind them.
• Even though the character of Selma is from Czechoslovakia, her accent is not Czech.
• A drip of blood on Selma's cheek disappears and then reappears during the ride in Jeff's truck after she's killed Bill.
• When Jeff and Selma are on the rail bridge, and Jeff asks her if she can see, he is standing to her left. But when Selma throws her glasses into the water, he is standing to her right.
• When Bill tells Selma he has no money, her hair changes from tied back, to down numerous times between cuts.
----- TRIVIA -----
• The role of Cathy, Selma's best friend, was originally written for an African-American woman. However, Catherine Deneuve, who had written to Lars von Trier several years earlier about the possibility of doing a film together, expressed interest in the part. Von Trier cast her and slightly rewrote the part as a French immigrant woman to accommodate Deneuve.
• Writer-director Lars von Trier's first draft screenplay was called "Taps" and featured tap dancing in every scene. Choreographer Vincent Paterson convinced von Trier that it would be far too difficult, if not impossible, to teach something as "technical" as tap dancing to Björk and the other cast members within a reasonable period of time. Von Trier rewrote the screenplay so that the songs would be more in the style of "traditional" Hollywood musicals, but retained some of the tapdancing motif with the character of Oldrich Novy.
• Stellan Skarsgård was originally cast in the role of Jeff, Selma's would-be boyfriend, but was unable to play a part as large as that due to a scheduling conflict (with Aberdeen (2000)). The part of Jeff went instead to Peter Stormare, and Skarsgård ended up playing the substantially smaller (only two scenes) role of Selma's eye doctor.
I love checking out the trivia and goofs in movies. I tend to find many of them annoying (how dare they judge the director's choices and call them goofs!) but I still read them. :)
Finally got around to watching Fellowship of the Ring -- thanks again for the present! How do you burn them so they have chapters and such? Do you have nifty software to do it all?
