Corrected entry: When Hunsaker gets shot through the window we hear the sound of a pane shattering, but there is only a small hole with a few cracks in the glass (not really typical for an ordinary window anyway). (01:04:05)

Lethal Weapon (1987)
Corrected entry: When the General's car has turned turtle, there's a lot of white material on the road that looks like several square meters of carton sheets and whose purpose I'm not able to tell, but which certainly doesn't belong there. (01:31:20)
Correction: It sounds like you're describing the shot after the car explodes after being hit by the bus. The white squares are the bags of heroin that spilt out of the car when it flipped (you see some of the bags left in the car that the grenades are sitting on).

Lethal Weapon (1987)
Corrected entry: When Riggs and Murtaugh get into the car after Riggs bought a hotdog, there is a car waiting next to them with four elderly ladies who are all staring at the scene of the movie shooting. (00:27:45)
Correction: The 4 people in the car (it's clear one of them, if not 2, is a man) are stopped at a red-light and make no unusual glances or gestures that a normal person would do at a red-light.

Corrected entry: After Murtaugh interrogates the little boy he walks away. In the background the boy raises his arm to wave after them but stops in the middle, obviously stopped by the crew, and smiles embarrassedly. (01:00:40)
Correction: First, he smiles before raising his arm and it's not a smile of embarrassment. Then he does lift his arm, but it appears to be in no way a wave good-bye nor is there any crew member obviously stopping him. And after Mel Gibson starts to walk away, he's in front of the kid for the most part, so we can't see what else the kid does. Nothing about the kid's affect would be considered unusual for a kid in a similar situation of the movie's events.

Corrected entry: When Amanda lies on the roof of the car we see the shadows of two people walking by, obviously taking no interest in the rather peculiarly positioned dead woman. Even in an uncompassionate City like L.A. one should expect that passers-by take at least a closer look at an accident scene like this one. (00:04:10)
Correction: Without seeing the people there's no way to tell that they were "showing no interest". They could've been hotel personnel going towards a phone to call an ambulance.

Lethal Weapon (1987)
Corrected entry: When the little boy points at Riggs' tattoo he could hardly see it as Riggs' sleeve was down. Only when it's pulled up does the tattoo become visible. (01:00:20)
Correction: The tattoo is visible when Riggs and Murtaugh are walking up to the children. His sleeve comes down during the scene, but the boy would have seen the tattoo earlier and remembered it being the same.

Lethal Weapon (1987)
Corrected entry: A green car is parked at the side of Dixie's house before the explosion. Between shots it gets replaced by a brown car surrounded by people, then it changes back to the green car and drives off, away from the road. (00:55:55)
Correction: Not so. There is a side street along the side of Dixie's home. On the far side of that street, a brown car has its hood and trunk open with people near it. On the closer side of that same side street, a blue 1960s Impala convertible is parked facing away from camera, partially obscured by Dixie's home. There is one very quick shot where you can see both cars are there, but the rest of the angles show one while hiding the other. When the house explodes, the blue car takes off- perhaps driven by the bomber, or simply a bystander getting out of the way. No error.

Corrected entry: When Riggs runs after Mr. Joshua, who is trying to escape in the stolen car, Murtaugh shouts after him that Mr. Joshua is heading for the freeway. How on earth does he know that, especially since Joshua was going into some odd direction which allowed Riggs to shortcut him on foot and get ahead of him? (01:27:25)

Lethal Weapon (1987)
Corrected entry: After Dixie's house has been blown up Murtaugh starts patting Riggs' back, telling him that his coat is on fire, which it is not. (00:56:10)
Correction: If you look closely, Riggs' jacket is not fully in flames, but is smoldering because some embers fell on it. Murtaugh says "You're on fire" as a euphamism.

Correction: The window had two panes of glass. One pane shattered and the second one only had a single hole.
