In the movie, they left the line, "Maybe it's 'cause I'm Irish", in as a joke, even after they had cast Morgan Freeman as Red. (more) Goofs: Crew or equipment visible: Towards the beginning of the film, during a beautiful aerial shot of the bus entering Shawshank Prison, the camera flies over the buildings, where we see the prisoners on their way to "greet" in the new inmates. As the camera circles around, at the top of the frame, in an area of green grass, near a building, the shadow of the camera's helicopter is clearly visible. (more) Quotes: [first lines] District Attorney: Mr. Dufresne, describe the confrontation you had with your wife the night that she was murdered. Andy Dufresne: It was very bitter.
