Nine to Five

[top]during the scene where Violet worries about putting rat poison into her boss' coffee.

In the first few scenes, Violet's hair changes from being parted on the side to being parted down the middle.

Violet's taillights repair themselves after she's been stopped by the police.

When Violet asks Roz where the coffee cup is in Hart's office, the mic almost hits her in the head.

In some versions, when Doralee lassos Hart and he falls backward, you can see the crash mat he falls onto.

When Violet and Judy are on their way out of Hart's office for the first time, a crewmember is briefly reflected in the mirror on the wall, ducking quickly out of the shot.

The position of Hart's pen cup before he deliberately knocks it off the edge of the desk.

When Judy is in the Xerox room, the rear part of the machine begins filling in more copies.

They are one color in one shot but then as they start flying out, they are a mixed up with several colors.

When Violet and Judy frantically leave the office to go to the hospital, it is still daytime.

When they arrive at the hospital, it is suddenly nighttime.

When Violet and Judy drive to the hospital in a panic, Violet parks her car at an angle taking up two spaces, but when she goes back to her car to put the corpse in the trunk, the car is parked perfectly straight within one space.

Just before the first time we see the garage door opener used on Mr.

Hart (when Doralee is bringing his lunch in a green sweater), we see him walk into the bathroom looking for something - presumably a weapon.

He is very clearly wearing pajama bottoms.

When he walks out of the bathroom, he is very clearly wearing shorts (boxers?).

He then breaks a leg off the TV tray, planning to hit Doralee with it.

Much later in the movie, we see Hart walk into the bathroom - clearly wearing boxers/shorts - when he DOES find the nail file hidden in the drawer.

Seems like there were two scenes shot, one in PJs and one in shorts, and they were incorrectly spliced together.

When Jane Fonda's ex-husband comes to the Harts back door at NIGHT and is let in they soon hear a noise upstairs.

Hart has knocked over a lamp.

When Jane goes to flip garage door mechanism and an ensuing tussle continues, the entire scene behind them is daylight.

When she goes downstairs to let her ex out, it is once again night.

When Jane Fonda was firing her shotgun in the office, they included sounds of ricocheting bullets, which would never be heard from buckshot, which is the kind of cartridge load used in shotguns.

Violet meets Judy at the personnel office, Suite 1100, and takes her upstairs to the 12th floor in what seems to be one slow elevator.

Fun movie despite the improbable situations. The Hospital scenes and what insures are totally unrealistic as the tying up the boss at his home and not being missed at the office except Roz.

Such a smart funny movie with fantastic acting, especially from the one & only Dolly Parton - who wrote the iconic theme song on set.

Nine to Five (1980): Dir: Colin Higgins / Cast: Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, Dabney Coleman, Elizabeth Wilson: Observant and hilarious view of women in a working world dominated by males. It takes place in an office building with recently divorced Jane Fonda arrives for her first day.

Colin Higgens directed and wrote this hit comedy that stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton as three office secretaries in a successful firm who must contend with their lecherous and overbearing boss Franklyn Hart(played by Dabney Coleman) who treats them like servants, and wont leave Parton alone(despite being married). The women fantasize about revenge(in a colorful series of vignettes) but unexpectedly get their chance one day, and things will never be the same again...

I can't help but think that if some of the folks churning out the bad-ass "girl power" nonsense of the naughties were to look back at films like this they might see a clear demonstration of what real girl power actually is... Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton are three working women at various stages of the corporate food chain - presided over by their womanising , parasitic boss Dabney Coleman.

This is another one of those films that I literally grew up with, namely because my Mum would watch it whenever it came on, so we kids would basically sit down and watch it as well. Mind you, I'm not sure if we actually understood what was happening in some of the places, such as where they are smoking joints, or the fact that they have tied their boss up using bondage gear (or even the references to B&D made it into the film), but I certainly picked it up this time.

I just watched this movie for the first time in 2020. I haven't laughed so hard from a movie in some time.

Three secretaries (Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda) work for a sexist pig of a boss (Dabney Coleman). One day Tomlin accidentally poisons his coffee with rat poison...

I work in an office setting. And office movies that were instant classics such as Horrible Bosses and Office Space are movies that I love watching.
