“Last Boy Scout” Goofs List
- Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: Wires are visible when Milo falls down and hits the helicopter.
- Continuity: SPOILER: Near the end of the movie, when Milo is setting up to shoot Senator Maynard, we are given two alternating, out-of sequence shots of the senator: first, he is standing back several feet from the window with some people, drink in hand; in the second, he is standing next to a chest-high window with both hands on the top edge of the glass. When we see the senator again, he is in the same standing-back shot, then again at the window.
- Continuity: When Milo wants to assassinate Baynard, his face is wet and then suddenly dry in the next shot.
- Continuity: Joe’s cigarettes disappear and reappear between shots throughout the film.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: Joe hits the thug with a bottle, and the thug says, “You bastard.” Then Joe says, “And then some,” without moving his lips.
- Continuity: During the first shootout, Joe’s pistols occasionally fire without ejecting a cartridge.
- Revealing mistakes: When swinging from the net during the fight with Milo, the lights Joe crashes into emit sparks before he makes contact with them.
- Factual errors: Reference is made by both Marcone and Senator Baynard to the “Senate Commission to Investigate Gambling in Professional Sports”. Senate and House of Representatives panels are referred to as “committees”; “commissions” are special panels appointed by the President of the United States.
- Continuity: When the red convertible goes down the hill during the chase, the windshield is alternately missing/intact between shots.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: We see one of the bad guys tinkering on the piano on the background. He seems to be tapping a key on the left of the keyboard (low note), but we hear a high note.
- Continuity: When Jimmy Dix shows the senator’s bodyguards the “bom” picture through the window of the BMW, they shoot at him, completely shattering the window. In a subsequent shot, when Jimmy is yanking on the seat belt, you can see the window undamaged.
- Continuity: The senator’s bodyguards shoot a single shot through the passenger window of the BMW, yet when it pulls into the parking space at the stadium and Jimmy gets out, you can see four bullet holes in the window.
- Continuity: When the thugs prepare to throw Jimmy Dix over the side of the bridge, they drag him to the rail facing forward. In the next shot, he’s turned around the other way and falls back-first onto the car hood.
- Miscellaneous: The body of Cory’s Sharkbody Corvette Stingray featured in the movie is made of fiberglass, not metal, and any bullets would pass through it, not bounce off.
- Continuity: When Milo’s car crashes over the roof and lands in the pool, it destroys the chimney sending bricks and other debris flying. However, when the car lands the debris has disappeared.
- Continuity: When Milo’s car hits the roof of the house, it clearly hits flat, and full-on. Yet, in the next shot of the car, the car is spinning through the air, and in the final shot, the car lands upside down in the pool. The car should land right-side-up in the pool.
- Continuity: In the beginning of the film when Jimmy throws the football at his old teammate, he clearly hits him in the forehead and he grabs his forehead, but in the next shot his nose is broken.
- Revealing mistakes: When Joe shoots at the limousine from the overpass he holds onto the chain-link fence with one hand. A safety cable is visible running up the sleeve of his jacket.
- Continuity: When Joe pulls his gun on the kids trying to steal his watch the hammer is cocked. When he pulls it back into the window of the car, the hammer is down in an un-cocked position.
- Continuity: When Joe and Jimmy are leaving the police station, Joe pulls out a cigarette which become automatically lit in the next shot.
- Continuity: When Darien shows the gun to Jimmy Dix in the car outside Marcone’s place, it is a 6-shot revolver. When Joe shoots the gun through the cat puppet and then discards the puppet, it has become a Desert Eagle semiautomatic pistol. Further, Joe shoots at least 32 shots from this gun without reloading in the next dozen scenes.
- Miscellaneous: In the first shootout, Joe shoots the hit man with the hat. As he is thrown backward across the car, the balding hit man runs behind him, toward the sidewalk. Joe fires determinedly about five feet to the hit man’s left. There were only two hit men. Who was Joe shooting at?
- Continuity: After the first shootout, Joe puts his hands up and walks toward the arriving police cars. In the next shot, a police officer has already miraculously appeared outside his car.
- Continuity: Joe takes his revolver and a Desert Eagle from the hit man in the alley; yet when he runs around the corner into the gun battle, he’s shooting the revolver and a Beretta 92. A moment later he has the Desert Eagle again. Guns change type (and hands) throughout the scene.
- Continuity: When Dave is thrown off from the overpass, he falls onto the car on the road below and his red hat quickly flies off his head to the left of the screen. In the next shot, his red had gently falls off the hood of the car.
- Plot holes: Hallenbeck’s detective friend Mike Matthews spent the night at Hallebeck’s house and left his white Mustang parked in the front of Hallenbeck’s house (clearly seen when his Mustang blows up in the morning, killing Matthews). Since Matthews was Hallenbeck’s best friend, he should have recognized the Mustang and known that Matthews was in his house or at least asked his wife if that was Matthews’ Mustang.
- Factual errors: At one point, it is discovered that Jimmy’s car has been wired with plastic explosive, explicitly stated to be C-4. Joe places the C-4 in his own car trunk, then later manipulates a hit man sent to kill him into attempting to shoot the trunk open, detonating the C-4 and blowing up the car. C-4 is specifically formulated to be highly stable, virtually requiring a purpose-built detonator – it cannot be detonated by a gunshot.
- Errors in geography: The aerial footage of the stadium of the climactic game was obviously shot during a Holiday Bowl at San Diego’s Jack Murphy Stadium. The game is supposed to be at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
- Revealing mistakes: When Milo and his thugs knock out Joe and then drag him to the car, right before they throw him in the door his right leg is lifting itself up.
- Continuity: The quarterback throws a pass; in the background, police officers run onto the field for no apparent reason. When Jimmy mounts the horse moments later, we again see the officers run onto the field.
