Cinquante nuances plus claires

The cover for the DVD box of "Fifty Shades Freed" is the exact opposite of Cinquante nuances de Grey (2015). For the first movie's box cover, Anastasia is the one with her arms up, while Christian is the one about to kiss her, but for this movie's box cover, Christian is the one with his arms up, while Anastasia is about to kiss him.

Ana is able to withdraw $5 million in cash from her bank in a matter of minutes, but no bank routinely keeps that much cash on hand.

There's a mid-credits scene: A couple of years later, Anastasia and Christian are playing with their son. She's pregnant again.

The running time quoted by IMDB, "1h 45m," is for the theatrical version. There is also a longer, unrated version, released chiefly for home distribution, running at 1 hr 50 min, five minutes longer. The unrated version includes, among other scenes, two with Kim Basinger, who plays Elena Lincoln, an ex-girlfriend of Christian, and supposed origin of his peculiar tastes. Kim Basinger earlier starred in the movie "9½ Weeks" (1986), a movie about a woman who begins an affair with a man that is characterized by unusual sex games, like the sex in the Fifty Shades trilogy. The book that that movie is based on, by author Elizabeth McNeil (a pseudonym for Ingeborg Day) is, like the "Fifty Shades" books, much more explicit about the S&M aspects of the relationship, although it concludes with an "unhappy" ending, wherein the relationship ends badly. Another difference is that Elizabeth McNeil's original novel is supposedly based on a true story, whereas the author of the Fifty Shades trilogy has never made that claim.
