Trivia: Does anyone else notice the parallels between this movie and The Devil's Advocate? They both have Al Pacino running New York City and his "right hand man" is named Kevin.
City Hall (1996)
1 trivia entry
Directed by: Harold Becker
Starring: John Cusack, Al Pacino, Martin Landau, Danny Aiello, Bridget Fonda
Revealing mistake: When Kevin shows the Mayor the Times editorial about the judge he quotes a phrase from the article about whether the man would be a judge if not a former law partner of the mayor. Unlike many newspaper articles shown in films where if you read the article text it is actually jibberish, here it is a legitimate article criticizing the way judges are elected, but some parts are repeated, and it states nothing about the judge being a former law partner of the mayor.
Frank Anselmo: Your boy embarrassed me.
Mayor John Pappas: You're gonna have to live with it.
Frank Anselmo: Why?
Mayor John Pappas: Because he's my boy.
