“The Negotiator” Goofs List
- Continuity: SPOILER: Once Frost goes outside of Niebaum’s house to find he has confessed over the radio, Danny and Sabian are at the doorway, but a few shots later, they have just emerged from the hallway.
- Errors in geography: Although the movie is set in Chicago, two of the volumes in Niebaum’s office are from Ohio Jurisprudence, a legal encyclopedia of Ohio law.
- Continuity: After Roman releases Frost, and Sabian escorts him outside the building, a quick shot of an applauding crowd shows rain falling. Other shots of the surrounding area show no signs of falling rain.
- Continuity: The taped segment of the conversation between Danny and Nate before being interrupted is different from the actual scene at the beginning of the film.
- Factual errors: Obviously the last shot in the ambulance is to show the scene and the patient leaving the place, but a patient inside an ambulance ride with the head to the front.
- Revealing mistakes: The waveform being shown of the audio file being played is way off in comparison to the actual audio itself
- Factual errors: Police negotiators and entry teams conduct their activities independent of one another so that the negotiator doesn’t inadvertently let the hostage taker know what the entry team is doing.
- Factual errors: The sharpshooter puts a laser dot on Roman’s head and the officers in the helicopter light Roman up with about eight lasers while he’s standing in the window. Police sharpshooters don’t use laser sights (i.e. red dot on target). They’re good enough to not need them and don’t want to tip off the suspect that he’s in their sights. Any cops who do have laser sights (which is unlikely, but conceivable) don’t put them on the target and keep them there. The sights are for rapidly getting the gun on target – not replacing proper sight picture.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Danny and his partner first talk in the car outside the party, there is no rear view mirror in the car. Though this is obviously not impossible, it is illegal and most police would have one properly in place.
- Factual errors: In the film the police cut the power cables with bolt cutters when they simply could have thrown the switch. Also the junction box they were in is actually an emergency power breaker meant to switch on an emergency diesel generator in the event of a power failure.
- Continuity: At the end of the fight between Danny and the corrupt cops in Internal Affairs, Danny looks at them when he hears one of them has run out of bullets. When he looks at them, the door is pulled wide open, but the next shot shows them just pulling it open.
- Continuity: During the scene when Palermo is told to take the shot, a closeup on his eye blinking through the scope is actually of a different person. This is evident by the brim and strap of a helmet and facial wrinkles that Palermo doesn’t have. He has smoother skin and wears a backwards baseball cap.
- Factual errors: The FBI agents referred to the City Administration Building of Chicago as a Federal Building, while in fact any city building would be under the jurisdiction of the City of Chicago.
- Revealing mistakes: While looking at the recordings from the wire in Nathan’s badge, we see Rudy go to the one on the 12th and play that one. Danny then tells him to play the one the night before Nathan died, on the 12th. We don’t see Rudy go to it, but a different recording is played.
- Continuity: When Danny is lifted into the ambulance while on the stretcher, his feet are towards the back. Once inside the ambulance, his head is towards the back.
- Errors in geography: The building where Danny holes up is at Wacker and Clark; police cars seen, ostensibly “to the scene,” are actually speeding south on Wabash at Van Buren – a point already south of the building.
- Continuity: During one of the early negotiating scenes, the clock in the negotiating room shows early afternoon when it is clearly night time.
