Directed by: Antoine Fuqua
Starring: Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Tom Berenger, Scott Glenn
Revealing mistake: The streets and the sidewalks are always wet, despite the fact that it's sunny the whole time.
Suggested correction: Sometimes there are many minutes, or even an hour, in between scenes that would have passed in universe. More than enough time for a quick rainstorm to roll through off camera.
Continuity mistake: When Hawke and Washinton stop their car on the bridge, Hawke leaves the engine running. When he gets back in the car you can hear him start the engine before they drive away.
Alonzo Harris: It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.
Trivia: The scene at the start of the movie where Ethan meets Denzel in the diner - it is the same diner that is used in the movie "Seven," where Morgan Freeman meets with Gwyneth Paltrow. If you watch these two scenes, you can see exactly the same camera angles (i.e. the cook cracking eggs onto the hot stove).
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.
