Continuity mistake: Towards the end, Denzel drives his car into 2 cars trying to get Ethan off the hood. After that scene ends you see Denzel driving the same car and the front and rear of the car look nothing like they did when he was crashing into the cars.

Training Day (2001)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Antoine Fuqua
Starring: Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Tom Berenger, Scott Glenn
Denzel Washington steals money in order to pay off the Russian mafia so they won't kill him. Denzel leaves Ethan Hawke to die but the Mexican gangsters spare him because the girl Hawke saved near the beginning of the film is one of their cousins. Hawke stops Denzel from getting the money and takes the money away as evidence. Denzel is gunned down by the Russian mafia while he's driving down the highway.

Alonzo Harris: It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.
Trivia: The film was shot on location, and some real gangs can be seen in the street when Denzel Washington goes to visit his wife/girlfriend and also during the showdown at the end.
Question: Why didn't the gangbangers kill Alonzo at the end? Did he just get away with no trouble? I thought they were going to kill him, because he was hated in the neighbourhood.

Answer: They grew sick and tired of Alonzo's arrogance and probably decided he wasn't worth the effort. Alonzo was however killed by the Russian Mafia because Jake was told that Alonzo killed one of their couriers and had to pay them one million dollars by midnight or he would be killed himself.
