1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Mark L. Lester
Starring: Dolph Lundgren, Tia Carrere, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Brandon Lee
Continuity mistake: The guy that broke his own neck in the interrogation room strangely appears in the next scene, where Angle loses her head. His face is shown in close up twice. (00:15:13)
Chris Kenner: Bad news: the asshole found us first.
Question: Did Tia Carrere use a body double for her nude scenes, such as getting into the hot tub and getting frisky with Dolph? You didn't actually see her face in those scenes.
