Trivia: When Drebin goes to the hot dog manufacturing plant for the "meeting" that turns to a shoot-out, there's a sign indoors on the wall as he enters: "All employees must wash hands before using restroom." (00:52:40)

Suggested correction: Is this trivia or just a joke?

It's a joke about working in a hot dog factory. The sign says "Wash hands before using restroom" rather than "Wash hands after using restroom" like a normal sign would.

Continuity mistake: The aircraft landing at the beginning of movie is a United DC 10. The aircraft taxiing to the parking area is an L1011.

Suggested correction: This has already been addressed earlier. There is nothing to suggest the 2 jets are related in any way. They just show a jet landing and a jet taxiing.

Mistakes

Factual error: At the onset of the baseball game, take a look at the Angel's catcher as Mariner Jay Johnstone steps up to bat. You will see he is wearing just a standard baseball hat under his catcher's helmet. MLB rules requires some form of certified (protective inside and out) plastic helmet for catchers, and thus this would not be allowed. (01:07:35)

Quotes

Ed: Doctors say that Nordberg has a 50/50 chance of living, though there's only a 10 percent chance of that.

Trivia

Trivia: There is a trailer to this movie with an additional gag. After Ludwig has demonstrated his image of an ideal assassin to Papshmir, he sits down with the revolver used in the demonstration which had turned out to be empty. In the trailer shot (in a closeup of Montalban) the gun unexpectantly goes off.

Questions

Question: Why does the snitch at the pier claim that Nordburg was a dirty cop?

Dangar

Answer: Because Nordberg was working undercover in Ludwig's organization; not knowing this, the snitch would only see him working with Ludwig's crew, and would thus believe he was dirty.
