- 15:45 -- What song? The Abba song?
- 30:30 -- They don't even bother translating that.
- 32:15 -- I don't know what movie that is.
- 57:00 -- Nutella
- 1:00:00 -- A mention of the name Léon. Possibly a hint at The Professional - (1994 movie)
-
1:06:00 --
- Covert listening device
- Wouldn't the salt in the shaker dry out the gum, and wouldn't an attempt at using it reveal the bug?
- 1:11:00 -- I think they mean ponytail since there's just the one.
- 1:22:30 -- That is not a practical hat.
-
1:40:00 -- Why would that code work? I thought they changed it.

I had watched this earlier (probably earlier than 2005-06-26) but did not take notes.
- 4:30 -- Were French police actually armed like this? With masks and everything?
- 6:00 -- That guy wasn't threatening anyone.
- 12:30 -- Why would they be using lethal injection? She was given a sentence before.
- 15:45 -- I don't know what song this is referring to, it's not Nikita - (1985 song), by Elton John
- 20:00 -- That's a small wound from such a big gun.
- 21:30 -- Computer mouse
-
22:00 -- Why trust her with firearms at this point?
- I'd list all the firearms, but why?
- 24:30 -- The poster on the left is of Meat Loaf's 1977 album Bat Out of Hell.
-
28:30 -- I don't understand what "I wish it had gone." means.
- I got English dubbing, and it goes "It's been going alright?" .. "I wish it were gone already." which makes more sense.
- 30:30 -- The song wasn't subtitled for me. :( I could check the dubbed audio, but I stopped caring.
- 36:00 -- Secret passage
- 37:00 -- Lipstick
- 43:15 -- I notice that the translation isn't very good; it's "two bullets minimum".
- 45:45 -- Surely the kitchen staff could hear her shoot.
- 49:45 -- That extra slap sound isn't appropriate in that context.
- 57:30 -- Was it 6 o-clock right then, such that he was helping her bring home groceries.
- 59:00 -- The gentle art of seduction; ladies pay attention.
- 59:45 -- I never did understand that moment. "Getting it" was about taking the kettle off the stove.
- 1:03:00 -- That guy in the sunglasses looks a lot like Mr. Zappe.
- 1:11:00 -- If there's just one, I think they mean ponytail.
- 1:16:00 -- They seem closer together since she reached for the phone.
- 1:16:30 -- That's not a secret compartment..
- 1:20:00 -- Wow they can hear him easily.
- 13630 -- Why would they need to dispose of the bodies if they're not also cleaning the blood right away? People would see the blood; it's a reasonably well-trafficked building.
- 1:38:00 -- That's not a very sharp knife.
- 1:44:00 -- One guy fell over before being shot.
- 1:44:00 -- "We'll call back" doesn't make sense. I guess they mean "we'll come back."
-
1:44:45 -- Is the windshield not broken?

I don't know who was smoking what, but there is a further section of poor-quality covers (only!) of other movies. They don't even state the names of those films. Sad.

(highlights the gun), select
27 second featurette mentioning filming even between takes to get unscripted actions for closeups and such which are more natural.
Useless.
La Femme Nikita was added, as was a DVD cover. This time I took the cover out of the case. This is definitely a situation where a scanner would work better. Duh. =/
