Factual error: When the narcotics officers raid Michael and Karen's home on suspicion of drug dealing at the residence, tipped by an informant as stated by one of the officers, that would not be probable cause to raid a home. They would have had to do extensive surveillance and spotted many people coming and going, or witnessed the dealing itself, to do a drug raid, even if it was actually set up by Pete.
Unlawful Entry (1992)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Jonathan Kaplan
Starring: Kurt Russell, Ray Liotta, Madeleine Stowe, Roger E. Mosley
Continuity mistake: When Ray Liotta is lying unconscious at the end just before getting shot and killed, the blood pooling under him changes volume and position once and then back.
Officer Pete Davis: Arrest you? I could kill you.
Question: Why did Pete keep insisting that Michael beat up the burglar, instead of listening to him and simply hauling him away? Surely he would have still got on Michael's good side just to take him in, so why not just do want Michael wants, rather than complicate matters, which leads to Michael cutting ties off with Pete for good?

Answer: Pete was a psychopath and a murderer who did not think or act in a logical, reasonable, or restrained manner. He had become so enamored of Michael and Karen and their affluent lifestyle, that he went to extreme and dangerous lengths to ingratiate himself with them. He was not at all rational.

And also, his years of being a patrol cop and seeing the brutality of society on different calls may have made him snap. I mean, look how heartless he was-he throws a naked woman out into the street in a dark alley and leaves her there after having sex with her in his patrol unit, no regards for anything or anyone at all.
