Goofs

When Conner is helping a shot officer shot in the arm, the officer's shirt is open showing a stomach wound and his white t-shirt with a big blood stain.

In the next shot, the shirt is buttoned and we see his uniform is navy blue.

His open shirt is seen in next shot as he is on table being examined.

Near the end of the movie, McCabe is pouring liquid cyclopropane on the floor, from a metal container.

As a basic fact of thermodynamics, this action will not only freeze the container valve (thus disabling it), but also the container itself would become so cold that he won't even be able to hold it.

Rigging to make semi trailer appear to jackknife is visible.

When Frank Conner steals the motorcycle the white helmet is in the helmet lock on the side of the bike yet when he arrives at the hospital it is on his head.

The liquid cyclopropane, in addition to not being able to be dispensed in the way showed, is no longer used in hospitals.

Also, if it were in the hospital for some storage purpose, the containers are bright orange.

Near the end of the movie when McCabe steals the truck we hear over the radio that the truck he stole was a 89 blue Dodge pick-up.

Minutes later we can clearly see a "Ford" logo on the front of the truck.

During the car chase, a police unit radios 'I have the blue '89 Ford pickup eastbound on Van Ness'; however, Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco is a principal north-south street.

When Pete was on the computer towards the beginning of the movie you can clearly see that there is only one cord plugged into the computer.

So that means that the mouse wasn't plugged in or the keyboard wasn't plugged in, when he was using both.

While Frank is leaving the room his son was being treated in after breaking the glass in the door, he pushes on the door frame, causing the door to open slightly.

This wouldn't happen if he only smashed the glass.
