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: When they fly to Osaka they leave on a 747 and arrive in a DC-10.
Nick Conklin: Now, you got a counterfeiting ring goin' on and you should talk to your partner before you go to the suits. So fuck you very much.
Trivia: A great deal of the film was actually shot in Japan, and it was reportedly very difficult on the cast and crew. The cost to film in Japan was very high, and the shoot was highly restricted, causing frequent issues. The original cinematographer even left production because he became too frustrated by the experience. Filming was eventually moved to the US to combat these issues.

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.
