1) Bill Murray is the actor. John Winger is the character. The summary should read Money from bet on John Winger's chest. 2) Harold Ramis is the actor. It's Russell who makes the bet with John. 3) The bet is 5 pushups, not 10. 4) When Russell throws John the money, $3. lands on his chest. (bills face up) The other money falls offscreen. 5) The next cut shows $4. on his neck (bills face down) and $2. by his ear.

 

. . . and one more mistake

It's already been pointed out that this nitpick is wrong on the number of push-ups (it's 5, not 10) and the amount of money wagered (it's $3, not $10). This nitpick also says Bill Murray "flops over on his back in defeat". The reason Harold Ramis tosses the $6 at him is because he did do the five push-ups and won the bet (although he was barely able to do it) - so he didn't flop over in defeat.

At first when Russell throws the money down there are three dollars visible and all are face down. The next shot is with 5 bills face up and one face down back by left shoulder. In the extended version the scene continues with the next shot being with 2 face down above his head on the carpet. And finally from the other side there are 5 bills on the floor to John’s right side and as he pitches the beer can and starts to sit up the 6th bill can be seen on the floor under his left shoulder.\r\rIt's a shame this nitpick is refuted ( and probably an orphan ) due to the fact a few details are wrong. There is still a huge nitpick here.

 

The bet was only $3.00

They only bet $3.00. When Bill Murray finished his push ups, Harold Ramis threw $6.00 at him.
