“Man on Fire” Goofs List

  • Continuity: When Creasy leaves the animal hospital and returns to the crime scene, a pre-2003 Lincoln Town Car carrying the reporter pulls out behind him. When they look in the rear view mirror it is a newer model of Town Car (2003+). At the crime scene it is back to being a pre-2003 model.
  • Continuity: When Creasy is talking to “The Voice” on the roof, the cellphone changes between three different Motorola phones.
  • Crew or equipment visible: In the scene where Creasy is cutting off the man’s finger in the car, if you look closely in the background you can see a crew member steps into the shot.
  • Continuity: Dakota’s baby teeth seem to change around quite a bit.
  • Continuity: When Creasy first starts cutting the man’s fingers off, the man is wearing/not wearing sunglasses between shots.
  • Continuity: When Creasy and Rayburn are driving in Rayburn’s truck, Creasy hands Rayburn a list of the weapons he wants. The page is torn from Pita’s diary, which Creasy has not yet collected.
  • Factual errors: The misfired bullet Creasy carries around with him shows a spherical dimple in the primer. This bullet would not have come from his Glock since this pistol leaves an oval shaped indentation.
  • Crew or equipment visible: Towards the end of Pita’s second swim race, a boom microphone is visible in the top left of the shot, just prior to her finishing and running up to Creasy.
  • Continuity: At the swim meet, Pita is talking with Creasy about the things he has taught her. She puts her goggles on, but in the next scene when she is on the block, she puts them on again.
  • Continuity: When Creasy is under the bridge with Fuentes, he takes the latex glove off of his left hand. He then walks around the car and takes the left glove off again.
  • Continuity: Right before the kidnapping scene, when Creasy is putting the dog in the car, the shot shows the dog entering the car. In the next shot from a different angle, the dog is still outside and enters the car again.
  • Continuity: In the kidnapping scene the driver of the kidnapper’s car reverses into the taxi at relatively high speed, which would of caused easy visible damage. When the kidnapper picks up Pita and the car is driving away the back end is clearly visible and is 100% intact.
  • Continuity: While Lupita’s father is talking in the restaurant near the beginning of the movie, the flowers in front of him switch positions in the vase. Initially the flowers are facing to the left, toward the other man at the table. However, after Mr. Ramos mentions that he is letting his bodyguard go, the flowers are facing to the right, toward him.
  • Revealing mistakes: When Creasy shoot’s the kidnappers’ car’s driver-side window, a plastic shield can be seen in the window frame, protecting the actors from the breaking window glass.
  • Continuity: When Jorge Gonzalez is removing the blue and red cover for his car, it clearly shows the windshield fully intact with no cracks. However, when he gets in the car, and Creasy gets in after him, the windshield is clearly cracked and broken in numerous places.
  • Continuity: When Creasy parks the Mercedes at Pita’s school and Pita and Creasy get out of the car, the front wheels are pointed straight ahead. When Creasy returns to the car after signing Pita in, the front wheels are turned hard left.
  • Continuity: When Creasy chases Aurelio Sanchez into his house, the weather is clear, but just as he opens the door for the first time with the small boy, it’s raining outside. In the roof scene a few moments later, it’s clear again.
  • Revealing mistakes: After Creasy has fired the RPG into the Jeep in the motorcade and then first starts to drive off with Fuentes, the back-up lights of Fuentes’s car are on, and then a moment later they are off once the car is out of the fire (this is probably because the car was filmed driving backwards into the fire, and then the film was run backwards to create the stunt).
  • Continuity: During the Victor Fuentes interrogation scene, Creasy sets his watch to 5:00, and an on-screen display of the time starts counting down. The time between the watch timer starting and the explosion is only 3:10, and even some of the on-screen countdown seconds are sped up.
  • Crew or equipment visible: When Creasy is cutting off the fingers of Jorge Gonzales, in a supposed secluded area, a man’s arm can be seen in the window behind Creasy.
  • Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After Pita is kidnapped, the police chief gives her full name as “Pita Martin Ramos”. But according to Mexican name customs, the father’s surname should go first, making it “Pita Ramos Martin”.
  • Revealing mistakes: When Creasy is cutting off the fingers of Jorge Gonzales, in one shot in front of the car you can see that the actor bends his finger around the steering wheel.
  • Crew or equipment visible: In the scene where Manzano is inspecting the vehicle that was sent off the cliff (With the man who Creasy had cut the fingers off in it) a film crew can be clearly seen filming at the bottom of the screen. One man is filming while the other is pushing a cart (from left to right) that a (reel to reel) camera and camera man are sitting on.
  • Continuity: SPOILER: When Jordan Kalfus consoles Samuel, he removes his glasses and puts them in his suit coat before he sits down. In the next shot after he has sat down, the glasses again goes into the suit coat.
  • Continuity: SPOILER: Towards the end of the movie when the exchange is taking place, Washington is wounded and kneeling down against the side rail of the bridge. He then stands up and looks back at Pita, then the scene goes back to him kneeling against the railing.
  • Factual errors: SPOILER: After Samuel shoots himself, Creasy’s Glock is lying on the floor locked in an “open” position, which happens after the last round is fired. However, this would only happen if the gun had the clip in it, which Creasy removed prior to giving the gun to Samuel.
  • Continuity: SPOILER: Towards the end of the scene where Creasey is cutting of Jorge Gonzales’ fingers to help him remember stuff, Gonzales asks for a cigarette. Creasey puts one in his mouth but filter outwards. In the cut to the cigarette being lit, the cigarette is the right way round: filter in.
  • Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: In the Victor Fuentes death scene, the explosion starts somewhere within the car, not within Fuentes as Creasy has said it will.
  • Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): SPOILER: At the end, flowers have been placed on top of the flag draped coffin. According to “Etiquette of the Stars and Stripes, Public Law 94-344, nothing is to be placed on top of the American Flag.
  • Continuity: When Pita is standing on the blocks right before the race, the strap on her goggles repeatedly changes position between shots.
  • Continuity: When Creasy is standing on the bridge before taking his final walk, there is a shot which shows his St. Jude medallion hanging visibly outside his shirt, but after a cut-away, he is next shown pulling the medallion out.
  • Factual errors: The Kidnappers instruct Ramos to wait for a call in a public payphone in Avenida Reforma. Mexico City “Ladatel” card payphones can’t receive calls. And, more specifically, the phone shown in the movie where the instructions are supposedly posted is the regular kind, which can’t receive calls.
