Continuity mistake: When Richard Gere's attorney tries to get into the murder scene apartment, the guard says to her (in subtitles) "if you mess up the murder scence [sic] you will be in some trouble". There is a typo in the subtitles.
Red Corner (1997)
Directed by: Jon Avnet
Starring: Richard Gere, Bradley Whitford, Bai Ling, Byron Mann
Revealing mistake: When Gere is trapped in the police car and the assassin attempts to shoot him, he fires several shots into the window at Gere's head and every single shot misses yet they do not strike his lawyer or the other window. Where exactly did the bullets go?

Suggested correction: They do hit the window. You can see the bullet holes in the glass from a later camera angle.
Revealing mistake: At the end of the movie when Jack Moore (Gere) is leaving China and is at the airport, you see a plane in the background with an America West logo on its tail. America West doesn't fly into Beijing.
Shen Yuelin: You come from a country where the infant mortality rate is higher than ours.
Jack Moore: The reason you know that is we don't delete the records.
Shen Yuelin: In China, we hold the welfare of the state above that of the individual. We have six times the population of your country, Mr. Moore, and one-tenth the crime rate. Tell me, who is right?
Shen Yuelin: If you plead not guilty, you will be sentenced to death. And, unlike in your country, Mr. Moore, sentences are carried out within a week. You will be shot, and the cost of the bullet will be billed to your family.
