Other mistake: In the beginning when Sylvester loses grip of the woman's hand, she falls to her death. Immediately after that they show the reaction of the helicopter pilot...and he's laughing.

Suggested correction: He's grimacing and shaking his head "no", not laughing.

Oh no... He's definitely smiling and laughing. It's unmistakable.

Factual error: How is it that when Sly comes out of the freezing, icy water, his hair and clothes are bone dry? I don't know too much about hypothermia, but I would imagine that his fairly thin sweater isn't wind proof. I'm sure by the time the movie ended, he would be suffering from more symptoms of hypothermia other than chattering teeth.

Sly Stallone is said to have reduced his fee by that amount to ensure the stunt was made.
