When John was tied to the chair he picked up a piece of broken porcelien from he table with his mouth, then he dropped it near his crotch. Afterwards he did some jerky motions and the piece miraculously appeared in his hand...
Wtf was that? There is no way that piece of porcelien could have have been transferred from near his crotch to his tied up hands. Note that the chair had a full back.

exactly what i came here to ask. Too obvious mistake.
Great movie though
Yep, the wife said the same thing.. "How did he get that into his hands?"
shareFrom the plate that Warwick smashed.
shareSPOILERS...
I was wondering the same thing. Notwithstanding that point, I also wondered how a piece of porcelain could cut a nylon rope. It's hard enough to cut a nylon rope with scissors. Which leads to the question "Why didn't Warwick use something else?" Why use cheap, nylon rope when he went to such lengths to play his game (i.e. make-up kit, postcards, drugs, etc.)? Why not use handcuffs, for example? It's because we needed to see what would happen if John began to level the playing field. The method for getting there had to be "easily broken."
John although tied to the chair was able to move his hands a little bit, so he could have leaned back in the chair and caught or grabbed the piece with one of his hands, difficult but possible. With enough time that rope could be torn or cut by the piece of porcelain.
Also if you can't answer why Warwick didn't use handcuffs or something that would make sure John couldn't escape then you haven't figured out Warwick's plans. He planned everything that happened with him and John and all the other criminals that were in his scrapbook. He is a strategical mastermind, that's why he calculated what object John would grab for after purposely insulting him so he wouldn't just run away free and therefore he replaced it with a fake knife.
I found the movie brilliantly created.
Yeah it was weird how it cut right to him cutting the rope.

what? Your crotch can't do that?

That scene was edited badly or planned & filmed badly. I can't say that I'm the most attentive movie-watcher, but that scene almost begs you to ask how the heck did he get the porcelain piece from between his legs when his hands were tied behind his back??
shareHe's got extremely strong Kegel muscles, people!
I noticed, but didn't care. I still had fun with the movie. Lol
I noticed that as well, and filed it away as a small mistake. It didn't take my attention or interest away from everything that was going on though.
As someone stated before, I assume he lifted his butt, let if fall to the back of the chair, moved his hands to one side of the chair, tilted the chair a bit and grabbed it with his fingers.
"I'm trying to see things from your point of view but I can't stick my head that far up my ass."
This scene bothered me a bit, but I chalk it up to bad editing. I'm sure, with as thought out as the script was, that there was something filmed but missed in the editing process. I can't imagine that an otherwise clever script would have been that sloppy with a scene like this.
shareIt is okay. You don't have to make excuses to compensate for your crotch's lack of inventiveness under tense situations. Some people's crotches are just.....plain normal. It is okay to be born with a normal crotch. *cough* not really *cough*

I love the internet. I did a double take at that moment, too. I think that when the camera was looking at his bust, the porcelain shard levitated around the chair to his hands, cleverly off camera.

That scene made me pause the movie too. Hated it. Thankfully it was fairly early on, so by the time the twists kicked in I had forgotten about it. But the main fault is that it's so badly and carelessly edited it makes you wanna punch the crew. I fooled myself into creating this theory, that there is a gap in the back of the chair, it just isn't visible. It's a posh, modern design, you can't see the gap from most angles, you could only see it if you were underneath, for instance, because of the concave shape of the back of the chair.
No, really, it was an appalling mistake. Especially since most of the rest was filmed fairly well.
Another thing that could have been explained somewhat was the neighbour simply showing up in his backyard. He wouldn't be the type of psycho who doesn't lock his doors.

Duh it's plain as f'ing day.
First he grabbed the piece of plate and dropped it into his crotch. At this point trained convicts can lift up and flip their d*ck thus pushing things behind to their butt. This helps in routine prison shower rapes where men can block their butts with a bar of soap after being pinned up against the wall and gagged with the soap. They simply drop the soap, flip their d*ck and block. Takes about 6 months to learn but this guy def. has been through it all. The pro convicts are also able to do this through jeans as they've practiced a ton so there's really no surprise here.
After this relatively easy task, the piece of plate was behind him BUT there was a back to the chair. How did he get it in his hands you say!? No problem, he definitely had alcohol farts which are some of the most ferocious of all time. So he farted a huge one and rocketed the plate up over his chair and into his hands.
The 'perfect host' didn't notice because he was distracted by the guests.
I don't get why this is so difficult to understand.
