Deliberate mistake: Eric Roberts certainly knows the secret of eternal youth. In the 30 years since his character killed Sharon Stones' parents to the present day, he doesn't appear to have aged a single day.
The Specialist (1994)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Luis Llosa
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, James Woods, Sharon Stone, Rod Steiger
Factual error: In the first few minutes, right before the explosion of the car with the little girl, Stallone is running like mad to disarm the bombs (on the pillars of the bridge). However, he isn't fast enough, and the last bomb explodes. The trick is that the bombs are just chunks of TNT, planted about eyeheight, but when the bomb explodes, the flames and stuff go upwards (not reaching/hurting Stallone, who is about 3 meters up and at the exact height of the last bomb).
Ned Trent: Good. Nice sense of irony, blowing up the bomb unit. Ned, you may ask yourself, "Why is it my turn to die?" Ask God. He kills all the time. Why shouldn't I?
Trivia: The cat that "found" Ray Quick, Sylvester Stallone, in the movie was named Timer, even though we never hear anyone calling the cat that.
