Goofs

During scenes in the Everglades an owl is heard and seen. The owl is a barn owl, which does not live in swamps, much less the Everglades, but instead lives in farm areas and vacant buildings.

We hear a dial tone on Paul Armstrong's cellular phone.

Share this

When Armstrong (Sean Connery) gets a call from Sullivan (Ed Harris) after the re-trial, he is seen waving to his wife with a pen in his right hand. The next frame shows the cradle of the phone in his right hand and Sullivan asking him if he has a pen and he says yes and switches the phone to his left hand to pick up the pen.

Faq

Is 'Just Cause' based on a book?

Yes. Just Cause is also a 1992 novel by American psychological thriller writer John Katzenbach. The novel was adapted for the movie by American screenwriters Jeb Stuart and Peter Stone.

What was the stuff in the Mason jar that Sheriff Brown kept drinking?

Most likely it was sweet tea, a style of iced tea common in the Southern United States. At its simplest level, it is merely black tea with sugar but may contain flavorings, such as raspberry or mint. Sugar content can be quite high, suggesting that Brown may have consumed it as an energy drink.

Who hit Anderson with the bat and trashed his car?

The culprit is not mentioned in the movie. Some viewers think it might have been Sheriff Brown or Detective J.T. Wilcox (Christopher Murray). Others think it was merely a disgruntled Ochopee resident, since everyone in town knew that Paul Anderson was poking around and they were unhappy about him opening old wounds.
