- The amount of semen at Boz's crime scene is questioned, since the house has a maid.
- Why would a man die mid-orgasm and not remain erect? The answer offered is that other parts stiffen, not that.
- The black light CSI moment is saved for aged-worst discussion.
- Has anyone named Gus ever survived a thriller? No.
- The elevator is the slowest ever, given the time Nick needs to run up the stairs.
- Who killed Manny Vasquez the boxer, said to be a guy with an Afro?
- Why did Jeanne Tripplehorn not fully happen? She never transcended the wife-girlfriend role, and Laura Linney got those parts.
- How long did Nick and Catherine last? Guesses range from three days to three weeks, and Basic Instinct 2 is not acknowledged.
- Why does Nick never ask to see the last pages of her book?
- Other questions: Nick's hand calluses, silent traffic in the car chase, Nick as the worst tail, and headlines the movie never showed. — Mallory Rubin
- Could Catherine have been involved in Nick's wife's death, or did she just use it? The answer is no.
- Why include the ambiguous rape scene when Nick's dark side was already established?
- Is the movie better if she kills him at the last second? That would be awesome, but the ambiguous ending is also liked.
- How quickly does Catherine write, on the Joe Eszterhas schedule?
