Corrected entry: When Michael Douglas is chasing those bad guys on motorcycles out of the steel mill, he shoots one of them in the back and his motorcycle explodes. Why? There was nothing wrong with any of the motorcycle's parts and Michael Douglas didn't shoot the gas tank, so why did it blow up?

Black Rain (1989)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Michael Douglas, Andy Garcia, Kate Capshaw, Ken Takakura
Revealing mistake: Watch Andy Garcia's decapitation scene. His head starts to come off before the sword makes contact with his neck. Slow motion helps but is not required.
Berg, Internal Affairs: That's a king-sized nut. I admire your thrift.
Nick Conklin: Yeah, well, life's a bitch.
Crown, Internal Affairs: We did the math, Hero. You're twenty grand in the hole a month. You're into the shylocks, Conklin, you're takin'.
Nick Conklin: Look, you wanna charge me, you charge me, okay? You wanna jerk off, you go back to your office.
Trivia: Was Ridley Scott's first successful film in a decade. Every other film he had made since 1979's "Alien" flopped at the box office, while "Black Rain" ended up becoming a massive hit. It was the eleventh highest-grossing film of the year.

Correction: When Nick shot the motorcycle rider in the back, he lost control of the bike and crashed head-on into a delivery truck coming the other direction, which caused the bike to explode.
