Deliberate mistake: When Jimmy Dove responds to the bomb in the computer lab at MIT, the camera shows the boyfriend on the floor, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The pistol is lying next to his head and it is a 1911-type .45 automatic with the hammer down, not cocked. When an automatic pistol is fired the slide automatically cocks the hammer as it moves back. This will happen even if there is only a single bullet in the gun. The hammer should be back in a cocked position.
Blown Away (1994)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Stephen Hopkins
Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Jeff Bridges, Forest Whitaker, Lloyd Bridges, Suzy Amis
Other mistake: When Franklin is shown jogging up and down the sidewalk stairs, as the camera is facing towards the stairs from the top, tape can be seen where Franklin is supposed to stop at, and/or Gaerity is supposed to stand at while Franklin's going down the stairs.
Trivia: During the movie, mention is made in a background radio bulletin that Richard Kimble has been arrested - the subject of Tommy Lee Jones' prior film, 1993's The Fugitive.
