Ian Hunt

Continuity mistake: Right after Hitch has his bout with food poisoning and he's talking to Sara on the couch, her hair changes. For most of her speech about her sister falling through the ice, the hair on the right side of her face is behind her shoulder. Towards the end of the story it goes in front of her shoulder and then at the end it's back behind it.

Ian Hunt

Revealing mistake: At the end fight scene when Lamia is laughing, you can see that her teeth are only darkened in the front, not the rear. (01:55:10)

Ian Hunt

Continuity mistake: When the Captain and Mrs. Plummer return in the black Ford Crown Victoria, the Ford emblem is missing on the grill. When the Crown Vic crashes into the car dealership later on, the Ford emblem is intact.

Ian Hunt

Factual error: When Fogle shoots the cop's pistol at the burning police car, the safety on the Smith and Wesson pistol is activated. He fires the weapon until it is empty and continues to dry fire (click) the pistol anyway. On the Smith and Wesson, the side levers are in Safe mode when pushed down. When the last round is fired, the slide locks back and the gun wouldn't be able to dry fire.

Ian Hunt

Revealing mistake: After Angel gets shot in the vest, you get a good closeup of his bandoleer of shotgun shells. You can see the gold paint rubbed off on the primer side of the cartridges, revealing the red plastic underneath. You can also see that the end of the round either just has paper stuffed into it or is completely empty. A real shotgun round will have a brass cap/primer and the end will either be folded completely over (like the shutter of a camera) or show a rifled slug inside. (01:37:20)

Ian Hunt

Deliberate mistake: The floating contact mine that explodes at the end of the movie would never have been put in an evidence room in a police station. Barring that error for the plot's sake, FCMs weigh 450lbs and would have required a hydraulic crane and a cart to move it, not just a couple of guys. They also did not contain clocks. (00:42:40)

Ian Hunt

Revealing mistake: When the officer holding the double barrel shotgun has it broken open to reload it, you can see that the primers have been dimpled, meaning that they've been fired. The rifle is closed up again without the spent shells being replaced. (01:41:10)

Ian Hunt

Revealing mistake: When the Sergeant has the shotguns in the backpack on his back, and you see a close up of his face, you can see that the shotguns do not have triggers. On plastic prop rifles, the trigger is usually molded into the trigger guard in the pulled back position, and you can see this on these prop shotguns.

Ian Hunt

Continuity mistake: During the chase of the Caprice and the Jaguar, the damage on the Caprice constantly changes. Right before the car jumps off the overpass, it has lots of front end damage. When it's in the air it's clean but after it's landed it's torn up again.

Ian Hunt

Factual error: When Patrick Swayze's truck was pushing the other truck up the bridge, there was no airflow going over the radiator. Under the enormous stress that the engine was going through (read: heat generation) there's no way it wouldn't have overheated, and quickly. (00:47:05)

Ian Hunt

Continuity mistake: The nose of Crew's truck is bent before he even rams the truck when they attempt to box him in. (00:46:45)

Ian Hunt

Visible crew/equipment: In the bathroom scene when everyone has their guns out, look in the mirror behind Earl. You can see the cameraman in the bathroom stall. (00:52:00)

Ian Hunt

Character mistake: In the training room, after Randall is discussed as the record holder, the students are brought to attention. All but one is standing at attention, he is in the back on the right hand side, standing at ease.

Ian Hunt

Audio problem: When Randall walks into Maggie's Hanger for the first time in the film, Maggie is singing. As she goes to greet Randall she hands her microphone to a backup singer to take over, who can be heard taking over the singing, but she doesn't use the microphone for a few seconds.

Ian Hunt

Visible crew/equipment: Above Helen's head the first time Ben telephones her a boom mike is visible.

Ian Hunt

Other mistake: Early in the movie when Shale is screening the commercial for his "services," the rolling text describing his abilities lists "Helicopter Repelling" instead of "Helicopter Rapelling".

Ian Hunt

Continuity mistake: When Shale gets in the fight in the library, he takes a round to the upper left chest. When he takes the shirt off to reveal the vest there's no bullet and no damage to the vest.

Ian Hunt

Continuity mistake: Rollie breaks the paddle behind his desk, but later on in the movie you can see it behind him and it's unbroken.

Ian Hunt

Trivia: The movie was shot during the summer months and kids enrolled in summer classes were extras on the film. Free Papa John's pizza was served to anyone who would stay after school.

Ian Hunt

Continuity mistake: When Shale goes to interrogate the guy at the Jai Alai court the guy tries to hit him with the balls. He puts one in his cesta (the scoop on his hand) and it falls out as he tries to launch it but a ball still launches at Shale.
