Conspiracy Theory (1997)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Richard Donner
Starring: Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts, Patrick Stewart, Cylk Cozart
Continuity mistake: When Jerry is captured and strapped in a wheel chair, in his escape attempt he is rolling down a stair and the two footholds of the chair brake. Two seconds later, while the chair keeps rolling, the footholds break for the second time.
Agent Lowry: If the intelligence community is a family, think of us as the uncle no one talks about.
Question: In the end of the movie when Jerry is shot, why is he airlifted to another hospital, doesn't the mental hospital have a trauma center?

Answer: Yes, that hospital may have had a trauma unit, but the NSA team, if they were NSA, led by Lowery / Hatcher (the guy who Alice 'knocked out') wanted to get Jerry away from Alice ASAP so that she would no longer be in any danger. The chopper then flew him, offscreen, to get patched up. Also we don't know that Jerry was airlifted to another hospital. But we can assume. An NSA controlled hospital. Or private government facility. A place where no questions would be asked.
