Other mistake: In several of the scenes involving the helicopter the film was flipped. The registration numbers on the side of the chopper are backwards.
Passenger 57 (1992)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Kevin Hooks
Starring: Wesley Snipes, Tom Sizemore, Bruce Payne, Alex Datcher
Continuity mistake: Liz Hurley shoots one of the FBI agents seated next to Rane, in the background the other agent can be seen with make-up on waiting to be shot next. Then the angle changes and his blood has vanished.
Sly Delvecchio: You know, that's what I admire about you! Even though you are being hit on by absolutely beautiful woman, you are determined to maintaining your vow of chastity. You know, you'd make a hell of a republican.
Trivia: At the fairground, when Rane and the two terrorists walk away as Cutter is arriving, there's a white Honda Civic seen. It's license plate reads "outatime", the same as the plate on the DeLorean in Back to the Future.
Question: How did the FBI agent know that the two FBI agents on the plane were killed earlier?
Answer: It's been a while since I've watched this movie, but he obviously knows the plane is hijacked. It's a pretty safe assumption that the agents are dead as they're escorting a dangerous, high profile prisoner. Pretty easy to connect the dots. Alternatively, they could've failed to check in, and he assumed the worst.
Answer: When ground crew, first responders, and police are near the plane, you can see paramedics stacking body bags in an ambulance. It's safe to assume the bodies were dumped after Captain Whitehurst was dumped from the plane.
