Five Easy Pieces

A full rack of ten pins appears after Rayette picks up the spare following her gutter ball.

This is correct but since it is the last frame of the second game, she gets another ball, which is not taken.

When Bob and his sister return from drinking coffee on the water front he no longer is holding his brown coffee mug.

When the camera angle changes to show them walking up the porch steps the cup is not present.

At 55:16 into the film, when Robert opens a door to find Partita giving their father a haircut, the head of a crew member hidden behind the open door is reflected in the mirror above the fireplace.

The crew member moves slightly just before the scene cuts to Robert standing in the doorway.

After Bobby and Carl are finished playing Ping-Pong, Carl leaves in the blue station wagon to go to the mainland where he spends the night.

In the next several scenes when Bobby and Catherine spend time together while it is understood Carl is away, they are seen cavorting outside where the blue station wagon is shown parked in the driveway.

Early in the movie, when in the bedroom with Rayette, Bobby's arm position is inconsistent.

At the bowling alley, a stain or wet spot is visible on the seat of Bobby's jeans, but is gone in the next shot.

When imitating a musical revue, Bobby zips down his shirt, but it is zipped back up in the next shot.

The flowers in the vase as Katherine puts them on the piano change position.

Bobby's arm position changes when he is sitting on the couch as Katherine asks him to play the piano.

During the game at the bowling alley, Betty and Twinky appear bowling on the next lane and several alternating times a league team is occupying that lane.

Ray bowls a strike, but in the next shot when she turns to face the other bowlers, the pins behind her are standing.

While parked on the freeway, Elton's shirt sleeves switch between rolled up and unrolled.

After Elton is arrested in the oilfield, Bobby's helmet is only a few feet away when he threw it off quite a distance away.

This film might have had something to say when it was made, but these days it's just a meandering mess. I had never seen the film yet I was guessing the next thing to happen with relative ease throughout the entire film as it was all so telegraphed.

Bob Rafelson directs this unique character study of Robert Dupea(Jack Nicholson, superb and complex performance) who is a gifted pianist who nonetheless works in an oil field with his troubled friend. After they get into legal trouble, they lose their jobs, but Robert is then called back to the Washington home of his dying father, where he must confront the family he left behind, and try to deal with the simmering emotions lying underneath.

The first half hour nearly made me dis-like the movie. But it turned out alright.

I had read some rave reviews about this movie here and other places. After watching the film I feel like I'm missing the hype.

I had high hopes for this movie since I'm a huge Jack Nicholson fan. I was disappointed with the lack of purpose in the movie.

In my opinion this was an OK movie it was not what I expected but it definitely was made very well and the acting was great there were definitely some funny parts inside the movie and there were numerous parts that I feel were drawn out more than they needed to be. I liked seeing all the older cars and trucks that were shown in this film as well.

I've watched the film twice and love it. The different personalities, the different people and their interests just fascinates me.

Jack Nicholson and Karen Black star in this movie about a man who feels inadequate and out of place in his life and in his family. I don't know why I am reviewing this movie, when I don't really have anything terribly original to add to all that has been said.

For the life of me I can't understand what all the raving is about this movie. "One of the greatest movies ever made", "Excellent story".
