Revealing mistake: During the shootout on the Jet, the second hijacker hides behind a wall and Harry shoots through the wall, killing him. When the bullets supposedly go through the wall, one of them puffs out black powder and marks the wall, showing it's really an explosive charge going off and not a bullet.

Directed by: Ted Post
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Hal Holbrook, Mitch Ryan, David Soul
Sunny: What does a girl have to do to go to bed with you?
Harry Callahan: Try knocking on the door.
Trivia: The topless girl at the mobsters' pool party is future "Three's Company" TV star Suzanne Somers.
Question: I understand the concept of spelling mistakes and an editor accidentally missing them, especially for an unknown actor's name. But how did "Callahan" end up getting misspelled when it was spelled correctly in the first film? Has any reason been given? Or if there someone with general knowledge of how end credits are produced, is there no editor?

Chosen answer: The error didn't necessarily start with the makers of the credits. It could have crept into the process at any point. Whoever typed up the names to give them to the technicians who made the credits could have misspelled the name.
