Continuity mistake: During the film's climax, in which the Wolf's wife Serena is on the run, CIA agent Peter Brandt tries to ambush her in an elevator. As he runs up to the elevator, we get a wide shot of him, the people waiting for the elevator, and the up/down indicator lights of the elevator. The down indicator is lit. (The shot pans down from the indicator lights as he runs up.) Cut to Elias briefly, then back to the elevator indicators. This time, neither light is on.
Collateral Damage (2002)
Directed by: Andrew Davis
Starring: John Leguizamo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Turturro, Elias Koteas, Cliff Curtis, Francesca Neri
Other mistake: When Arnold throws The Wolf's wife into the electrical gate equipment and she is killed, they begin to fight. The Wolf beats Arnold repeatedly then takes out his Motorola cell phone to place a call to set off another bomb. When he pulls the phone from his pocket there is no signal (indicated by red light on phone). A few minutes later Arnold leans over, picks up the phone, and sees that all The Wolf had to do was press the phone button to send the call. So, do you suppose he saw that there were no signal bars on the display, like we did? (01:41:49)
Plot hole: The drug dealer guy gives Arnie a hood to wear so as to not see where they were going. When he puts it on we can see his face through it like a streched sock or something, meaning he could still see.
Trivia: Notice that John Leguizamo said that Arnold was working like a cyborg. Of course, he was a cyborg in the Terminator series.
Trivia: In the scene after the Policia Nacional capture Brewer, a police vehicle goes by, the man in the back on the left has his face digitized out.
Gordon Brewer: So, you want collateral damage, huh? I'll give you fucking collateral damage.
Gordon Brewer: Hey, sell me your pass so I can work the zone.
Armstrong: Would you stick a sock in it "Jolly Green"? I'm just a wrench for hire.
Gordon Brewer: If you keep working with him, then you are no better than he is.
Selena: What would you have me do?
Gordon Brewer: Help me stop him.
