- Jackson’s peak is placed around Jackie Brown the following year rather than here.
- Grisham is placed in this mid-1990s adaptation boom, with The Pelican Brief’s release corrected back to 1993.
- Bullock is judged not yet at her peak, with The Blind Side Oscar offered as a later milestone.
- Judd’s peak is assigned to Double Jeopardy.
- Nicky Katt villains receive a qualified affirmative choice over Dazed and Confused, based on the impact of a few minutes as an overt racist.
