12 Details of “Legally Blonde” You Probably Didn’t Notice

The movie Legally Blonde hit theaters more than twenty years ago. In 2001, the world met Elle Woods, played by Reese Witherspoon, and her saga to get her boyfriend back. Throughout the plot, the scenes give us lessons in determination and empowerment, without leaving aside the charm and ostentation of the great brands.

But, as not everything is rosy in the rosy universe of the work, the awesome.club was reviewing the film in search of slips in the production that we hadn’t even noticed before. The result was an unprecedented list with 12 mistakes and curious details about this Hollywood success. Check with us.

Early on in the story, Elle, Reese Witherspon’s character, gets dumped by her boyfriend and “drowns her sorrows” in a box of chocolates. She appears eating a candy with a box full of candy. The next second, when she drops the candy in her hand, the box is almost empty.

Before going to Harvard, Elle Woods studied at a fictional university — CULA. In the opening scenes, the film shows real students, but they are from Caltech.

In one of the scenes at the law firm where Elle was an intern, it is possible to see the reflection of actress Selma Blair, who played her rival Vivian, waiting to enter the scene.

It seems that in Massachusetts courts people drink water differently! In this scene, the extra leans over the drinking fountain, but there is no water.

In this scene, Elle gets into her ex-boyfriend’s car with her hair totally disheveled. At the end of the ride, the blonde’s locks are impeccable, despite the car being a convertible.

In the graduation scene, Elle appears with a full head of hair. The look was unnatural. The actress wore a wig to compose the outfit for the occasion.

This happened because the first recorded ending was not well accepted by critics and the team had to return, some time later, to the filming set. Both Reese and Luke were on other jobs, with other haircuts, and needed a “little help” from the set design.

In this section, a boy in a beige blouse passes alongside the couple, even dodging another student who was walking in the opposite direction. Notice that he almost bumps into actor Matthew Davis.

The next second, Elle and Warner are in another frame, but with no one around. Initially, we thought: “Oh, the extras are gone!”. And then, surprise: The boy in the beige blouse reappears in the scene, now walking alone, calmly, without deviating from anyone!

Part of the film takes place in courtrooms, in an important trial. In one of these hearings, the mood of the extras changes in a matter of seconds.

In this scene, Elle studies a lawsuit while explaining the reasons for protecting the client’s alibi. But what really draws attention is not her speech, but the leaves of the process that change position — and then return to the same place — by themselves. And in a matter of seconds!

This table really is a mystery — it seems that the objects have a life of their own. In addition to the glass of water, there is a binder that changes locations throughout the scene. In the close-ups, he is ahead of the blonde. However, when the scene appears from another angle, the briefcase is far away from the girl!

When they first meet, manicurist Paulette shows Elle a photo of her pet Rufus, who was taken by her ex-husband. The blonde convinces her new friend to rescue the puppy, but he looks darker and has some spots that don’t appear in the portrait. Is it just the bad definition of an old photo or did they rescue the wrong dog?

And then, had you noticed these recording errors? Despite them, we still love this blonde full of charm and persistence. How about reviewing the film and telling us if you found any more flaws?
