Black Rain (1989)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Michael Douglas, Andy Garcia, Kate Capshaw, Ken Takakura
Revealing mistake: Watch Andy Garcia's decapitation scene. His head starts to come off before the sword makes contact with his neck. Slow motion helps but is not required.
Berg, Internal Affairs: That's a king-sized nut. I admire your thrift.
Nick Conklin: Yeah, well, life's a bitch.
Crown, Internal Affairs: We did the math, Hero. You're twenty grand in the hole a month. You're into the shylocks, Conklin, you're takin'.
Nick Conklin: Look, you wanna charge me, you charge me, okay? You wanna jerk off, you go back to your office.
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.
