Audio problem: When Axel first reunites with Serge, Serge greets him with a kiss on each cheek. Problem is, we can hear the smooch on each cheek, but Serge is speaking at the same time, and he does not pause his speech for the smooch.
Audio problem: When Hector Elizondo comes to the park near the end and shoots the guy in the lift, there are a lot of rides operating around him. We don't hear the rides making any noise. Anyone who has been to an amusement park knows how loud rides are.
Deliberate mistake: Twice in this film Axel is shot at by multiple gunmen using automatic weapons at close range - and they all miss. In the Earthquake theme ride the bullets ricochet of the rails at Axel's feet. Why are they all aiming low? Why don't they raise their aim? In the park outside he hides behind a perfectly ordinary park bench and the bullets hit the wooden slats. Not one goes through the open spaces between them? I know bad guys can't shoot straight in the movies, but this is ridiculous ...
Serge: Now, one thing's very important. At the survival boutiqua, I feel that it's my personality, that's it's my philosophy that everything must conform to the three P's, OK? Which is, protection. Prestige. And pretty. I mean, why should you look ugly if you're just trying to survive?
Question: Has there ever been a mention as to why John Ashton and Ronny Cox didn't reprise their rolls of Taggart and Bogomil for this movie?
