Visible crew/equipment: Monty and his father get into the car to go to the prison. When the father says "Them hooligans sure gave you a licking" a red mike appears at the top. (01:52:00)
Suggested correction: That is not a red microphone. That red thing you see at the top in this shot, is the tip of the American flag that is attached to the car's antenna, on the front of the car.
Continuity mistake: The bite injury on Monty's neck only appears after the dog has been wrapped up and locked into the trunk. (00:02:50)
Uncle Nikolai: This is my advice to you: When you get there, figure it out who's who. Find the man nobody's protecting. A man without friends. And beat him until his eyes bleed. Let them think you are little bit crazy, but respectful, too. Respectful of the right men.
Trivia: In the scene where the DEA is searching the flat there is a cordless telephone from Bang & Olufsen (Beocom 6000), with the phone placed incorrectly on the base. The phone is located next to the stereo. The phone is placed with the keypad facing the camera and not away from it as it is supposed to. This is also indicated by the LED on the base which is red, indicating that the phone is not charging, the LED would have been green if the phone were placed correctly.
Question: Wasn't the plan that Monty's father thought about actually bad, at the end? I mean, even if Monty started a new life far from New York and his friends and family and never got recognized, his father would be arrested when coming back to New York. Suddenly him and his father disappear and later on his father gets back to New York, a little bit suspect no?
Answer: Monty's father was suggesting they go into hiding together. He was not suggesting that he would take Monty out west and return to New York himself.
