The Crimson Rivers (2000)

Revealing mistake: When Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel approach the hanging body of Jean-Pierre Cassel in the doctor's house, the hooded killer can be seen standing to the left of the screen. [Not visible on the VHS version, but on the widescreen DVD].

Audio problem: When Dahmanne walks away in a huff from Niemans, Dahmanne is in the foreground. Niemans is seen out of focus in the rear and his voice is heard on the soundtrack, trying to smooth Dahmanne's ruffled ego. However, Niemans' lips are not seen to be moving.

Continuity mistake: After they rescued Pierre Niéman, Kerkerian and Fanny out of the avalanche, they put an O2-mask over her face. The strings of the mask were full of blood - even before they touched the bloody face of Fanny.

Trivia: Director Mathieu Kassovitz has two cameo appearances in the film, one as the hooded killer in the doctor's house who shoots at Jean Reno and another as the voice over the CB talking about the Lada car to Vincent Cassel. He was also supposed to have played the role of a policeman in this film but the character was dropped.

Trivia: On the audio commentary of this film, director Kassovitz refers to the two actors playing the Sarzac policemen as 'Kepi" and 'Vomi' respectively ~ the latter nickname was bestowed on the unfortunate actor who was sick throughout his scenes in the film.

Trivia: Although they have no scenes together, this is the first film in which Vincent Cassel (Max) and his father Jean Pierre Cassel (Dr Cherneze) appear together.

Max Kerkerian: Supercop scared of a little pooch? Son of a bitch.
