Other mistake: When Ray shoots Kelly twice in the chest, and then himself once in the arm, all three shots are heard within a few seconds. However, in the flashback at the end, Ray shoots himself about ten seconds after.

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: John McNaughton
Starring: Kevin Bacon, Bill Murray, Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Theresa Russell
Sam (Matt Dillon) and Ray (Kevin Bacon) are partners. Ray shoots Kelly (Denise Richards) making it look like self-defense. Sam tries to throw Ray overboard and Suzie (Neve Campbell) kills Ray with a spear gun when he clims back onboard the boat. Suzie poisons Sam. Kenneth (Bill Murray) hands a nice check and a load of cash to Suzie. During the end credits, additional scenes show that Suzie planned the entire thing from the very beginning.
