Factual error: When Lt. Harris is being held hostage on the rooftop during the riot, his captor shoots a seemingly endless amount of rounds from a revolver, which should only have a maximum of six rounds. (01:26:06)
Suggested correction: He took both Copland and Blanks' revolvers, so he had 12 bullets. Even though we didn't see him switch guns, it doesn't mean he didn't at some point.
Continuity mistake: When the female trainee is doing the driver training, she goes under the water spray but the next shot shows the windscreen dry and clean. There is no sign of the wipers being used.
Carey Mahoney: What are you in for?
Larvell Jones: I'll show you. [holds a microphone to his mouth and imitates gun fire causing everyone to drop to the floor.]
Desk Officer: GOD DAMN IT, STOP THAT.
Trivia: When doing Hogan's Alley, right after Leslie shoots the shotgun, he turns around and everybody ducks except for Tackleberry. That's because Leslie hasn't pumped the shotgun, so there isn't a live round in the chamber. Tackleberry knows that, so doesn't panic.
Question: Why did Mahoney get a medal at the end? All he did was run up a building and got himself taken hostage. Hightower deserved his cause he knocked the guy out, saved Harris and Mahoney and defused the situation. Even if it was for bravery or heroism, Mahoney achieved nothing with his actions and shouldn't have been rewarded.
Chosen answer: Just because you fail in your attempt at heroics doesn't mean you weren't brave as hell for trying. Mahoney knowingly put himself in a very dangerous situation with the sole intent of saving two of his fellow officers. That's bravery.
