Nightwatch (1997)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Ole Bornedal
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Nick Nolte, Josh Brolin, Patricia Arquette, Erich Anderson, Anais Evans
Continuity mistake: When the main character goes to check the place where the dead bodies lie, after having seen the red light flash, the rope above the supposedly dead body is still swinging. If you keep watching it you can see that it keeps moving with the same frequency.
Inspector Thomas Cray: Have you ever been killed before? I'll be back in a minute.
Question: Who is the man in the picture in the office of the hospital? Is it supposed to be Nick Nolte when he was young, working as the night watchman?
