Corrected entry: When Michael Douglas is chasing those bad guys on motorcycles out of the steel mill, he shoots one of them in the back and his motorcycle explodes. Why? There was nothing wrong with any of the motorcycle's parts and Michael Douglas didn't shoot the gas tank, so why did it blow up?
Black Rain (1989)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Michael Douglas, Andy Garcia, Kate Capshaw, Ken Takakura
Continuity mistake: During the big fight scene at the end of the movie, both Nick and Sato become totally saturated and covered in mud. Nick defeats Sato, and is shown to have immediately arrested Sato and brought him to the police station. It is clear they came directly to the station from the fight, yet there is now hardly any mud on either of them.
Nick Conklin: I usually get kissed before I get fucked.
Trivia: Was Ridley Scott's first successful film in a decade. Every other film he had made since 1979's "Alien" flopped at the box office, while "Black Rain" ended up becoming a massive hit. It was the eleventh highest-grossing film of the year.

Correction: When Nick shot the motorcycle rider in the back, he lost control of the bike and crashed head-on into a delivery truck coming the other direction, which caused the bike to explode.
