Visible crew/equipment: When Mel and Goldie enter the salon on the motorcycle, you can clearly see the ramp used to help propel the motorcycle forward, just as Mel comes to a stop.
Bird on a Wire (1990)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: John Badham
Starring: Mel Gibson, Goldie Hawn, David Carradine, Bill Duke
Factual error: Mel and Goldie board a ferry. A visible sign states 'Detroit-Racine Ferry'. Detroit is on the east side of the state of Michigan but Racine, Wisconsin is west of Michigan, across Lake Michigan. The only water route to get from Detroit to Racine would be to circumnavigate the entire state of Michigan.
Marianne Graves: I need a bed. I need a bath. I need a massage. I need a manicure... I need my therapist.
Trivia: When the agent pulls from the computer record Richard's file, an alias listed is "David Putnam - Columbia Pictures", employed from 06/04/1973 to 02/01/1975. That's an obvious reference to producer David Puttnam (two Ts), who had a brief stint as head of Columbia Pictures in 1986-87, not making many friends in the then Coca-Cola owned production company.
