1 character mistake - chronological order
Directed by: George P. Cosmatos
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Brigitte Nielsen, Andrew Robinson, Reni Santoni
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Cobretti is talking with the Hispanic guy for the first time (after parking his car) he rips off his shirt revealing a black wire attached to his chest using duct tape. (00:13:30)
Gonzales: I would kill for some.
Marion Cobretti: What?
Gonzales: Gummy bears.
Trivia: Brian Thompson, who played the Night Slasher, admitted in a recent interview that during filming, he had no idea what his character was about or why he and his gang were randomly killing people. When he asked Stallone who wrote the script, he couldn't even give him an answer. (Director George Pan Cosmatos made no effort to help.) Brian was eventually forced to come up with his own explanation to assist his performance. He wrote a two-page essay and just worked from that.
