Continuity mistake: During the final shootout in Tony's mansion, the jungle-style magazines on Tony's M16 are constantly changing between shots, even when he's not reloading. This just goes to show how many takes were used for this last stand.

Continuity mistake: At Tony's mom's house, as Gina is following Tony outside, from inside the house the window shade is halfway down, but from the outside it is all the way up.

Continuity mistake: During the shot of Freedom Town there is a resident in a distinctive brown patterned shirt that keeps passing by in the background of the shot with Tony. When Rebinga enters the camp the same person in the brown shirt is entering the camp with Rebinga, only with a pronounced limp.

Continuity mistake: As Tony chases Hector out of the hotel, a white handbag can be seen behind them on the pavement. Afterwards, once Tony shoots Hector, the bag is gone.

Continuity mistake: When Tony is in the refugee camp and he stabs the communist at the doorway, the camera focuses on the Cuban's face where he is standing upright staring straight ahead. The camera then changes to a rear view and the Cuban is suddenly in a hunched over position making for an awkward transition. (00:11:00)

Question: Can anyone please tell me what Tony says to Rebenga as he is stabbing him in the prison camp? It sort of sounds like, "I'm gonna pay you f***." But that doesn't make sense.

Answer: I thought he said "for the free you f**k." would that not make more sense? They're chanting libertad and he was a top brass in a communist government.
