Corrected entry: At the beginning of the scene in which the locksmith arrives home, he is driving a right-hand drive van. In the next shot however, the locksmith is suddenly driving a left-hand drive before coming to a halt. (01:21:20)
Corrected entry: When Matt Dillon is one the phone talking with Shaniqua about his fathers HMO. The stripes on his uniform are sergeant stripes, but he is a patrolmen.
Correction: In LAPD, a sergeant-1 (with three stipes) is considered a field supervisor. A lieutenant has the billet of watch commander. That is why Matt Dillion is in the field. He may also be acting as a field training officer, which is why he has a partner. Or, the shift may be low on cars, causing the field supervisor to "double-up", which is not uncommon. A sergeant-2 (with four stripes) has more of an administrative job, to include watch commander if needed.
Corrected entry: The keys played in the piano are different from the notes been played, and the piano tuning is lower than standard. (00:50:15)
Correction: This is true, but the piano is simply out of tune - many old pianos are! It's not really a mistake.
Corrected entry: When Officer Hanson and Peter are discussing country music right before Hanson shoots Peter, the country music station gives the call letters KYHE. No such station exits, in LA or anywhere else.
Correction: So what? This is not a documentary but a piece of fiction; as such, it is free to use nonexistent company/product names.
Corrected entry: In the end of the movie a noticeable amount of snow is falling, but snow hasn't fallen in Los Angeles since 1962. It simply doesn't happen.
Correction: Watch this again, the shot is not flipped. You are seeing the van turn the corner within the reflection of the sideview mirror - note the backwards stop sign and backwards writing on the side of the van.
