Directed by: Russell Mulcahy
Starring: Denzel Washington, John Lithgow, Kevin Pollak, Ice-T
Deliberate mistake: Near the beginning, there is a shootout between Nick and Earl and a man is filming it. The version of events on the tape shot by the man and the real version we saw prior are different. Lithgow has an extra line, as does Washington.
Deliberate mistake: When Lithgow is shot in the leg and trips backwards over the crate or box, the stunt man is deliberately visible. It's not Lithgow making the fall.
Visible crew/equipment: When Denzel and Kevin are playing basketball in the beginning there are several low angle shots of their legs moving. The sun is behind the camera and the operator's shadow is visible.
Parole Board Official: The parole board's ready, Blake. I hope you remembered to floss.
Parole Board Official: I did! With your wife's pubic hair.
Trivia: The film was produced by Joel Silver, who was the producer of Die Hard. One common cast member between the two films is Mary Ellen Trainor. In both Die Hard and this film, she plays the same character, television reporter Gail Wallens. This indicates this film takes place in the same universe as Die Hard. The man who is interviewed about the hostages in Die Hard is also in this film, and has his own TV show.
