Dragnet (1987)

Continuity mistake: When Muzz goes through the display of animals, he throws his hands up in an unnecessary display to guard his face. As the camera cuts to a long shot, his hands are now on the wheel, looking like they never left it.

Dragnet (1987)

Continuity mistake: During the chase with Muzz, a yellow hatchback that Streebeck steers around to avoid appears from nowhere. As he's passing it, there is a long enough close up to show Friday and Streebeck passing the yellow car, but it doesn't show up. Only in the long shots is it there.
