Revealing mistake: When David Harbour is going to search his place, you see him check his weapon. The picture shows the rounds but all the primers have indentations, showing they've already been fired. (01:21:25)
The Equalizer (2014)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Antoine Fuqua
Starring: Denzel Washington, Chloe Grace Moretz, David Harbour, Marton Csokas
Factual error: In the diner scene, after killing the gunman, Robert shoves a single knife into an electric outlet, shorting out all the lights. To short out any circuit you must cross metal between both positive and negative wires. Also, the lights wouldn't be on the same circuit as the outlets. He wouldn't short out the entire store.
Robert McCall: Got to be who you are in this world, no matter what.
Trivia: The original black Jaguar XJ6 Series III car, as used in the TV series of the same name, makes a cameo appearance in the background of the scene where McCall tortures the corrupt cop.
