Continuity mistake: At the end as Grant and Guilfoyle starts walking down the stairs, a dark haired woman in light clothes starts hurrying up the stairs just before the change of shot. It then changes to a close-up shot off Grant and Guilfoyle, and they have barely moved a step, but the dark haired woman has reached the top of the stairs in an instant.
Extreme Measures (1996)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Michael Apted
Starring: Gene Hackman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Hugh Grant, David Morse
Hugh Grant goes to the nurse, Jodie I think her name is, Sarah Jessica Parker, anyway. He sees a Triphase trash bag, confronts her, and gets hit from behind with a baseball bat by her crippled brother. (Maybe I should have said "paraplegic?") Wakes up in Triphase paralyzed, finds out he's not paralyzed, Jodie frees him, he fights his way out, kills Gene Hackman, goes to NYU to live happily ever after. Then Gene Hackman's wife comes to NYU, gives Gene's research data to Hugh - she thought Gene was trying to do a good thing in a bad way, now Hugh can carry on the right way.
