Young Man's underwear switches from stripes to polka-dots . . .


I'm usually not one to care about what kind of underwear a dude wears in a film, but since this movie uses the woman's panties as a fairly major plot point, I felt obliged to bring this up. At the site of the safe robbery, when he drops his pants to tape the money to his legs, the Young Man is wearing striped underwear (which are also seen hanging on a clothesline at another point in the film, which I presumed might be deliberate on Nolan's part, or possibly just extra set decoration), but when he returns home and removes the money, he's wearing polka dots. I'm guessing Nolan's zero-dollar budget meant things like this were bound to slip through the cracks -- so I wouldn't be surprised if there are other little blips like this -- but I was momentarily left wondering if The Young Man had to make a stop on his way back to his flat because he'd crapped himself with fear after attacking (and possibly killing) the man who caught him stealing the money. :D

It looks like a continuity error to me. You might suggest it to IMDB Staff. Go to the Goofs page http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0154506/goofs, click [UPDATE] and then fill out the information...
