Revealing mistake: Throughout the car chase, the same white Plymouth Volare coupe is seen over and over, sometimes parked, sometimes being passed going in the same direction, coming head-on, or getting bumped out of the way.
Short Time (1990)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Gregg Champion
Starring: Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Matt Frewer, Barry Corbin
Genres: Comedy
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: Help me.
Burt Simpson: You got to be kidding.
