Heat

Corrected entry: In the bank robbery getaway scene after the driver is shot the Lincoln hits a car in front at a high rate of speed. His head hits the steering wheel. This could not happen as the airbag would have been deployed. Airbags are standard equipment on the Lincoln Towncar.

Correction: It's not that fast, besides, as thorough as De Niro is, he would have disconnected the airbag in case they had to make a fast getaway, and bend some fenders in order to do so.

Corrected entry: When De Niro, Sizemore, and Kilmer are trying to get away from the police after their bank robbery in downtown LA, the tires of their car get shot out by Sgt. Drucker. He uses a 12 gauge shotgun. If you take into account the distance between Sgt. Drucker and the car (there's a cutscene) and how the pellets of a 12 gauge shell disperse after discharge, it is nearly impossible to shoot out a tire of a car like it's done in the movie.

Correction: Sgt. Drucker is not the only one firing at the car at that time - there are dozens of cops, on both sides of the street, at many different distances, using many different weapons. There's so much lead flying it's impossible to identify who holed the tires.

Phil C.

Given that we see the tire explode immediately after Drucker fires, it's clear the audience is supposed to take away that Drucker was the one who shot it out. The mistake entry is valid.

Visible crew/equipment: When Neil (De Niro) breaks into Van Zant's apartment and shoots him, watch as Van Zandt flies backward. You can see a wire running up through the bottom of his sweat pants.

Trivia: Just after the scene when Waingro escapes being killed, there's a shot of De Niro looking at the sea through the glass with his left arm touching a window frame, and his automatic gun on a little table. This shot is inspired by the picture "Pacific" (1967) made by the Canadian artist Alex Colville.

Question: How did Lauren know what hotel Vincent was in? Vincent never told her or her mom where he was going, as far as I remember.

Answer: When Vincent is comforting his wife at the hospital, she says, "She chose you. She picked your place." I guess the implication is he had been staying there for a long time and both Justine and Lauren knew where that was. That's the best explanation I have been able to find.
