Short Time
Short Time mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: During the final battle between Simpson and Stark outside a skyscraper, after the scaffold breaks, there is a dark platform visible at the bottom of the screen as the camera moves down to reveal the ground, quite possibly the floor of a helicopter. (01:25:00)

Continuity mistake: During the car chase, the bad guys are in front, followed by several marked police cars, then by the red unmarked car; they are all on a curved exit ramp (after the construction zone). In wide shots with no bullets hitting them, the marked cars are Dodge Diplomats, same as the unmarked red car. But in close-ups, when bullets are striking them, the marked cars magically become Chevrolet Caprices. This occurs at least twice. (VHS version.)

Carl Stark: Burt is chasing Stark up a long stairwell in an office building. Stark is a few flights above Burt. He throws a hand grenade down the stairs. It lands right in front of Burt. Burt shouts with elation that he is finally going to die. The grenade rolls away and falls down the middle of the stairwell exploding harmlessly far below. Stark looks down and says, "Yeah."
Burt Simpson: Burt suddenly peeks out from just a few flights below Stark and shouts, "you missed ME again, you idiot!"
