Trivia

Paul Bettany turned down the lead role of King George VI in The King's Speech (2010) in lieu of appearing in this film. He has since stated that move was the biggest mistake he has ever made.

Alexander Pearce is also the name of a notorious Tasmanian cannibal. In 1823 - 1824 he murdered and ate five men.

This espionage-comedy has a number of elements in common with the James Bond franchise. The villain is played by Steven Berkoff who played a villain in Octopussy (1983) whilst the section chief is played by Timothy Dalton, the former James Bond from The Living Daylights (1987) and Licence to Kill (1989). The movie is predominantly set in Venice which is where three Bond pictures have lensed: From Russia with Love (1963), Casino Royale (2006) and Moonraker (1979). Of the latter, both this film and that feature the Hotel Danieli.

Goofs

When Frank flees from the Danieli, he runs across a few rooftops and then jumps onto the roof of a stall in the market. The market is actually quite some distance from the Danieli and on the opposite side of the Grand Canal.

Share this

When Frank is walking on the roofs of Venice, he sees Elise at the other side of the Grand Canal, near the market, but a few moments later he is on that same side of the Grand Canal and jumps from the market building upon a market stall.

When Elise is towing Frank from the boat in the water, you can clearly see him with unhand-cuffed hands pulling himself in towards the boat. In the following scene Elise is then picking the locks on the handcuffs.

Reginald Shaw: [preparing to cut her] You'll find life is not quite so giving to an ugly woman.

Frank Taylor: Fuck!... you're ravenous.

Reginald Shaw: [to his men about Pearce] You know he will be with her. They'll be staying at one of the grand hotels. The Gritti, the Regina, the Danieli. I want you to keep a watch on all of them. You can kill the girl, but you can't kill him. Not until I have my money that is.

Q

What is 'The Tourist' about?

A

While on the train from Paris to Venice, American tourist Frank Tupelo (Johnny Depp) shares a seat with Elise Clifton-Ward (Angelina Jolie), a beautiful but mysterious British woman. They strike up a conversation, have dinner together, and Elise invites Frank to share her hotel room. However, Frank is actually being set up. Elise has been ordered by her ex-lover, Alexander Pearce, who stole 2.3 billion dollars from British gangster Reginald Shaw (Steven Berkoff), to board that train, pick out a man who resembles him, and make it look like this man is Pearce in order to throw off Shaw and his Russian thugs, who believe Frank is really Pearce, as well as throwing off Scotland Yard, who knows Frank is just an innocent decoy but also wants Pearce for tax evasion.
