Revealing mistake: When Roland Tyler (Bryan Brown) beats Lipton (Cliff De Young) with his rifle, you can see that both times he hits him, the rifle bends as if being made from rubber. (00:42:16)
F/X (1986)

Directed by: Robert Mandel
Starring: Brian Dennehy, Bryan Brown, Cliff De Young, Diane Venora
Continuity mistake: Rolland Tyler (the set-up special effects guru) and his F/X assistant Andy have one of the "dirty" cops in the truck of an old car. To get a confession out of him, they take him to a secluded place under a highway overpass and continue to ram the car, trunk first, into the overpass pillars with the cop still in the truck. The man buckles, but not before about six rear-end hits. Yet, there is very little dents or damage to the back of the car throughout the ordeal.
Ellen: How are you?
Rollie Tyler: I've been better.
Question: Lipton the Justice Department official tells Rollie Tyler, "I really admired your stuff, ever since 'Vermin from Venus.'" Rollie's female assistant responds, "That's the one that got him deported from Australia." My question is how could Rollie have been deported from Australia, when he was born, raised and lived his whole life there? Where would he have been deported to?

Answer: It was most likely a joke, the movie was so horrible it gave Rollie a bad reputation and probably got him blacklisted.
