In the sedan/pickup chase, both of Cobra's headlights are shot out at the start with pinpoint accuracy. A minute later as the cars race down the freeway, the holes where Cobra's headlights used to be are filled with black plastic discs. See more...
Stallone had 20 minutes of the movie cut so theaters could add an extra showing, hoping the movie would beat Top Gun. It didn't happen. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
In the chase scene near the end with the pickup and the motorcycles, the pickup plows through two cars that are blocking the road. We see a shot of the hood flying off the pickup but in the next shot it's back on. [The hood you see flying off is from one of the two cars blocking the road. It's a different color than the pickup.]
In the kitchen scene when Cobra cleans his gun, he pulls out the clip and puts it on the table. If you look closely, you will notice that the tip of the bullets are blue. This indicates blanks. What a cop - goes up against bad guys without real ammunition. [That's assuming the "blue tip" bullets weren't Glaser Safety Slugs, a high performance defense-oriented specialty ammunition. They also have a blue tip which keeps the liquid teflon and 12 shot inside the bullet. Early Glaser Safety Slugs (around the time when the film was made) were made with a flatter tip than they are now. Considering the kinds of SWAT style police work Cobra did, it's likely he'd use Glaser Safety Slug ammunition.]
