Deliberate mistake: When they fight in the hangar and Troy is thrown back by the jet engine, his face and other parts of his body should have been burnt quite heavily. Such a jet engine has temperatures higher than 450°C about 5 meters away, and Troy is even closer than that.
Face/Off (1997)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: John Woo
Starring: Nicolas Cage, John Travolta, Joan Allen, Alessandro Nivola, Gina Gershon
Visible crew/equipment: In the shoot 'em up scene at the hangar near the beginning of the film, right after Tito and Wanda take down Pollux, when Troy shoots an agent in the stomach and the agent flies back - you can see at least two cable wires pulling him backwards. You can first notice the 2 wires when the agent is running in slow motion right before he shoots him. (00:14:15)
Castor Troy: You'll be seeing a lot of changes around here. Papa's got a brand new bag.
Trivia: John Woo fought to keep the slash in the title, so moviegoers wouldn't think it was a film about hockey.

Chosen answer: It's obvious that enough time hasn't passed for a trial of such magnitude to take place, meaning that the brothers have been remanded in custody to await trial. They should have been arraigned but we don't see that onscreen.
