Color of Night

Visible crew/equipment: When Capa talks to Mrs. Niedelmeyer, there's a 3-foot long shadow of the boom mic on the door.

Continuity mistake: Shortly after his patient's suicide, we see Bill from behind talking with an another man, and he makes some comment about suicide and motions to his head with his right hand. But when the camera shows him from the front, he is putting his left arm down.

Continuity mistake: During the final therapy session scene, Ruben Blades (Lt. Martinez) holds a picture with writing on the back while explaining his investigation into the mystery that is the main plot of the film. In certain shots the phone being held shows the writing on the back, while in other shots the back of the picture has no writing on it.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the car cash scene when Bill is on his car phone trying to figure out who is calling, a shot looking out the front of the car shows the speedometer needle pointing at 20 MPH even though he's keeping up with freeway traffic. In the very next shot looking at the black Honda with the cellular antenna, the needle is instantly pointing at 55.

Continuity mistake: During the car chase, when the red car is about to arrive to the railroad crossing, drives in front of the white car and crashes against a truck, the cars behind appear/disappear between shots.

Sacha

Factual error: In the beginning of the movie, Dr. Bob Moore falls through the glass doors of his office and is impaled with the glass. This would never have happened. It is federal law that safety glass is used in all entry doors. The glass would have to have been made of tempered glass, which breaks into tiny pieces like a car window, or laminated glass which will crack and bend but stay intact like a car windshield, or of wire glass, which will act similar to laminated glass. None of these was used. A plain standard plate glass was used instead.

Dr. Bill Capa: What do you give a suicidal patient who's got everything?
Dr. Bob Moore: A parachute. I heard it already.
