Continuity mistake: When Kathleen goes to talk to Carl, her client, while he's in restraints she writes "You're deaf, aren't you!" on a legal pad then sits on his bed. She's holding her Sharpie in her hand, cap end up. When the perspective changes to Carl's, the Sharpie is cap end down. The shots go back and forth another time the same way.
Suspect (1987)
Directed by: Peter Yates
Starring: Liam Neeson, Dennis Quaid, Cher, John Mahoney
Continuity mistake: Kathleen Riley and Carl Anderson are in a room with a blackboard. As they write questions and answers on the board, the writing changes several times between shots.
Other mistake: When Eddie Sanger is saving Kathleen Riley from "Michael", he gets slashed in the chest, through his leather jacket and sweater. When they meet up the next day, he is wearing the same leather jacket. Although the front is not shown, it is the same type and colour and obviously same jacket. He doesn't seem to be the type who would wear a slashed and likely bloody leather jacket.

Suggested correction: He gets cut through the sweater only. The jacket was unzipped and does not get damaged, therefore the fact that he is wearing it a few days later is a reasonable decision.
Kathleen Riley: I spend all of my day with murders and rapists, and what's really crazy, I like them.
