Question: At the end of the film, there is a series of clips and news articles covering the aftermath of the shootout. Does anyone know if the clips in the film are genuine news clips from the aftermath of the event or if they are filmed for the purpose of this movie? One shot shows 3 LAPD officers getting a medal presented to them, one shows footage of people taking gifts to the LAPD etc.

44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shoot-Out (2003)

Directed by: Yves Simoneau
Starring: Michael Madsen, Ron Livingston, Ray Baker, Douglas Spain

Other mistake: When Emil gets out of the car before seeing Larry is dead, he is shown in the front of the car on the right hand side of the car. But the car is a left hand drive as shown when he gets back in. Who was driving? (01:08:20)
Suggested correction: You see him sitting on the right hand side the whole time, even when he first gets in and Larry says "new plan." He's reaching over with his left hand to steer as the car moves slowly through the streets. There's even a straight on shot around 1:03:15 and it's not a flipped shot since the license plate is normal. It could just be moving on its own momentum while in drive, or he's reached over with his foot, or both sides have pedals (like on a driver's ed car).
Donnie Anderson: Do you get scared? Yeah. You stay scared? Better not.
