Directed by: Buddy Van Horn
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Liam Neeson, Patricia Clarkson, Evan C. Kim
Revealing mistake: When Clint Eastwood runs to grab Gus Wheeler after he catches fire, you can see the stuntman and not Eastwood wrestle him to the ground.
Revealing mistake: When Harry and Samantha are shot at in the elevator you can see a number of the dark marbles that were used for the effect rolling on the floor.
Visible crew/equipment: In the radio control car chase scenes over the humpy streets, camera equipment is visible in the rear seat area of the lead car.
Capt. Donnelly: 13,453 dollars and 63 cents. That's how much an unmarked squad car costs this department. That's the third goddamned car you trashed this month.
Harry Callahan: Lou Janero.
Capt. Donnelly: What?
Harry Callahan: It's his men who shot up the car, why don't you send him the bill?
Trivia: Axl Rose, Duff, Slash, and Steven from Guns N' Roses have uncredited cameos in a few scenes.
Question: Liam Neeson says he needed Johnny Squares as "a video tie-in." What does he mean by this? How does a music video help a film or vice versa?

Chosen answer: MTV was extremely popular in 1988, especially with the young demographic his film was intended for. Having a music video tie-in would increase the film's exposure as well as its potential box office performance.
