Death Becomes Her

Helen falls backwards into the fountain after being shot, but gets up from a face-down position.

When Helen gets out of the fountain after being shot, she is soaking wet from head to toe.

Just a few minutes later when she and Madeline engage in their shovel battle, Helen's hair is completely dry.

When Ernest is looking at the picture in front of the mirror, the top of a crew member's head is clearly visible moving in the bottom left corner of the mirror.

When Ernest falls from the Castle, he hits the glass face-down, but when he is shown from below, his back strikes the glass.

(Due to a scene in which he sinks to the bottom of the pool, retrieves the unharmed bottle of potion, and then swims up which was cut due to the change in the ending, ending the involvement of the potion in the story.

) When Madeline drinks the potion, she holds the vial to her lips for several seconds after the CGI liquid pours into her mouth.

Just before Madeline gets her head knocked down by Helen, you can see her body shift.

This is because of body double replacement.

When Madeline is given the card with address of Lisle Von Rhoman on it, she tears it down the middle into two, and the two pieces she tears are torn neatly and straight down the middle.

Yet later, when Madeline takes the two pieces of the card from her bag, they are torn much differently, and aren't torn straight and neatly.

When Ernest runs away from Lisle, after he nearly drinks the live-forever potion, he runs down a hallway and commences to open a door with a doorknob on the left side of the door.

It then cuts to the other side of the door, of Ernest walking through the door (into the party), and now the doorknob is also on the left side of the door, yet is should be on the right side.

At the end of the movie you can see the bottle of spray paint rolling down the stairs and landing on the pavement.

In the next shot, when Helen's body hits the pavement the bottle is gone.

In the scene before Helen is shot, Bruce Willis' grayish makeup can be seen to end at his jawline, allowing a big patch of rosy skin to show through.

When Ernest starts to bolt with the potion, Lisle says "Tom, Dick, Harry, get the potion from him!" He picks up the dagger she stabbed him with.

As he does, you see her reflection on the glass table.

Her lips do not move when she says those words.

Helen has had a hole blown through her stomach by the time the "shovel fight" has begun.

As Ernest leaves the scene, you see the shadows of the women fighting, only now the hole is in Madeleine's shadow, not Helen's.

When Lisle shows the potion to Ernest, she puts it on a small table.

In one of the next shots, the position of the potion is different although she has not moved it since.

When Ernest runs through ER looking for a doctor a short scene shows a CPR in action.

On the ECG monitor a flat line can be observed, nonetheless the doctors try to revive the patient with an electric defibrillator.

ECG flat line cannot be treated by defibrillation.

After Madeleine drinks the potion, Lisle pins a 'brooch' to the right side of her dress.

When Madeleine goes to the hall to leave it's on the left side of her dress.

When Madeline and Helen meet in Madeline's dressing room, they kiss one another on the cheek.

Madeline leaves a large bright red lip print on Helen's upper cheek.

In the next shot, the print has moved down toward her chin area.

It usually bugs the living-dead crap out of me, when big-time Hollywood hot-shot producers take a 'B'-movie style concept, make a blockbuster out of it and then call it "high-concept" or "psychological melodrama" or what ever the hell way they want to spin it. So SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is not a horror film about a super-smart serial killer, it's an "intense psychological thriller".

6.2 votes equal to fragile.

This has been a favorite of mine growing up and let me tell you, I think I was 16-17 before I realized that Ernest was played by Bruce Willis!!! He definitely outdid his self with this role.

This movie is between 2 cgi big budgets Terminator 2 (1991) and Jurassic Park (1993). Cgi quality is brillant at that time and still not aged today just like T2 and JP.

I started watching this film expecting a dark comedy centered on the twisted effects on the magical potion mentioned in the poster, and it delivers... ...

When a woman learns of an immortality treatment, she sees it as a way to outdo her long-time rival.This film was intended to be a sequel to the "Tales From the Script" television show, and although the TFTC name is not attached, you still get a strong sense of the humor we have come to expect.

This movie is brilliantly hilarious and deals with a lot of what we all deal with the fears of aging. This was one of my favorite movies with Meryl Streep and with Goldie Hawn.

Death becomes her is a very funny movie that has a powerhouse cast. It tells the story of two female friends.

"Death Becomes Her" is over 20 years old but I bet it took a potion to remain splendorous for ever. Everything ages, even special effects but the elegance and wit of most of the dialog remains fresh and brisk.
