Factual error: When Gantz fires Nolte's gun at Nolte, he fires 8 bullets out of a six shooter. (00:18:45)

Factual error: In the scene where Cates and the other two detectives go to the hotel to arrest Ganz and Billy for credit card fraud, it's highly unlikely that detectives would go alone to question or apprehend suspects without patrol units being with them in case of danger. Furthermore, that isn't even a job that detectives would get involved in, unless they are robbery fraud detectives.

Continuity mistake: In one scene, Nick Nolte is driving Eddie Murphy around in a convertible. First you see Murphy in handcuffs, then no cuffs, he's got one arm on the back of the seat, and then back with the handcuffs on.

Jack: Class isn't something you buy. Look at you, you've got on a 500-dollar suit and you're still a low-life.

Trivia: Sonny Landham plays Billy. He meets his end when he is faced with an opponent who out matches him. But right before he does, he bravely takes out a large knife and decides to challenge his opponent anyway, coming to a rather quick demise. In the movie Predator, Sonny Landham again plays a character named Billy, who meets his demise in a very similar fashion. Shirtless and brave again, he brandishes what appears to be the same large knife to challenge an opponent who has the upper hand. And loses again.
