Corrected entry: When Richard Chance (William Petersen) is shot at the end, run it in slow motion and you can see the blood comes from off camera. The same cheap effect was also used when his partner gets killed in the beginning.
To Live and Die in LA (1985)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: William Friedkin
Starring: Willem Dafoe, John Turturro, Dean Stockwell, William Petersen, John Pankow, Debra Feuer
Continuity mistake: After a long car chase about mid-way through the film, the camera pans over the highway littered with smashed cars and hundreds of cars piled up. In the middle of this, you see a van painted a little like the Partridge Family bus....definately a one of a kind van. Then you see footage of the car which escaped the chase going down an empty side street and passes the same van. No way there are two vans like this one.
John Vukovich: So now you want to commit a robbery?
Richard Chance: I wouldn't call it that.
John Vukovich: What would you call it?
Richard Chance: Taking down a douche bag who's trying to break the law.
Trivia: Real counterfeit bills were printed during principal photography. The prop master got in some hot water for this, even though the bills were created specifically for a scene in which Willem Dafoe burns them in a fireplace.
Question: What is it with Rick Masters and shooting people in the face? I counted three deaths that way.
Chosen answer: If you want to be reasonably certain of an instant kill, headshots are the way to go.
Answer: Rick can only be implicated in shooting one person in the face, and that is not seen. His henchman shoots two people in the face.
Correction: The rules of the site are clear.if you need to use slow motion to see it, it's not a mistake.
