Mistakes
During the stunt where the police van flips over (as a result of the rocket launcher attack) you can see the telegraph pole section used to flip the van over. It rolls down the road. (Stunts involving flips rely on a mini pile driver under the vehicle, as opposed to using an explosive charge by itself which can be too unpredictable). See more...

Matrix's House is in Mt. Baldy, CA.
The shopping mall used in this film is the same one that was used in Terminator 2.
A sequel idea was considered, but Arnold was not interested. The idea eventually became 'Die Hard' (1988), three years later. Arnold is still referenced with the line, "Enough plastic explosive to orbit Arnold Schwarzenegger", spoken by Bruce Willis.
