Revealing mistake: When David pushes the pallets onto the car, it's obvious that there is no-one inside. Similarly, when he uses the forklift to pick up the car a few shots later, we see inside the car and there is only a badly constructed dummy-type object in the back seat, and no real people. Even if they had bent down, they should still be visible. (00:09:00)
American Yakuza (1993)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Frank A. Cappello
Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Michael Nouri, Ryo Ishibashi, Franklyn Ajaye
Continuity mistake: When the Giant Yakuza has finished frisking Bill Jenkins, his black car is seen behind him. When he pulls out his gun and shoots into the air, however, it has moved much further away. Or to be precise, the camera and the giant have moved further away from the car. (00:56:55)
Question: Why does Nick/David reply with 'Steven' when asked his real name at the end of the film? I'm assuming I'm missing something; surely this isn't a mistake that nobody picked up on because that would be enormous.

Answer: I've listened several times, but it sounds like he says "it's David." I think the actor trying to use a soft, sad voice makes it come across as "Steven," and whoever did the closed caption put "Steven."
