Factual error: Riggs shoots Ku to death with the AK-47 underwater. Guns can fire underwater, but the bullet loses most of its killing velocity. This would have been unable to kill Ku.
Suggested correction: If Wah Sing Ku was far away, this would be true. But Riggs is shooting with the barrel pressed directly against Wah's chest. It's definitely lethal at that range.
Continuity mistake: In the scene near the end of the film when Murtaugh shoots at Wah Sing Ku and mistakenly kills the last of the four fathers, you can clearly hear an empty shell casing hit the floor, although he is using a revolver, which do not spit out the empty shells as they are fired.
Lee Butters: You have the right to remain silent. So shut the fuck up. You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, we will provide you with the dumbest fucking lawyer on Earth. If you hire Johnny Cochrane, I'll kill you!
Question: I wonder, what was the point of having a gunfight with the armored man at the beginning of the film?
Answer: It was put in the film to introduce the concept of Rianne and Lorna being pregnant and to bring in the joke about the news article about Roger, not to mention giving the film an action-heavy opening.
