| Plot: | When Eastern European criminals Oleg and Emil come to New York City to pick up their share of a heist score, Oleg steals a video camera and starts filming their activities, both legal and illegal. When they learn how the American media circus can make a remorseless killer look like the victim and make them rich, they target media-savvy NYPD Homicide Detective Eddie Flemming and media-naive FDNY Fire Marshal Jordy Warsaw, the cops investigating their murder and torching of their former criminal partner, filming everything to sell to the local tabloid TV show "Top Story." |

Goofs

Continuity: Nicolette's lipstick disappears after she and Eddie kiss, then reappears later in the same scene. Continuity: When the Emil and the Oleg are in the diner, the length of the ash at the end of the Emil's cigarette gets longer. FAIR: Emil says that he will fake insanity and have himself declared unfit for trial. This, he says, will result in his being committed to a psychiatric institution where he will miraculously recover and be protected from further trial by the "double jeopardy" laws. While his being "unfit for trial" would, indeed, prevent him from being tried, meaning that "double jeopardy" wouldn't apply, we can, perhaps, excuse his incomplete grasp of the subtleties of foreign law and language, and accept that his plan would work if he stood trial and was declared "not guilty by reason of insanity". Continuity: When Nicollette interviews Eddie, he says "...whether it's evidence is yet to be determined", but in a news video playback of the same scene later on he says, "...whether it's evidence or not, we're not sure. We'll determine that later". Fact errors: There are several errors relating to fire-fighting techniques and the real-world behavior of fire itself. Continuity: The bandage on Jordy's hand jumps back and forth between being neatly fastened and slightly unraveled between shots as he paces in his apartment. In one shot the bandage actually disappears completely, as he raises his hand to finish a drink, we can see the injured hand without a bandage. In the next scene, the bandage re-appears. Continuity: When Jordy first saw Daphne she had her hair down and was wearing a collared blouse, but when he gave the description she was drawn with a ponytail with a blue holder, and straps on bare shoulders. When we next see Daphne she is wearing exactly what she was in the drawing, even though no one had yet seen her in that outfit. Continuity: The blood disappears from Eddie's lapel after he has been struck on the face. Continuity: Towards the end of the movie, when Jordy is sitting in the cab, the meter ticks over from $41.80 to $42.00. In the next shot, the meter still says $41.80. Continuity: SPOILER: When Eddie is lying on the floor in his apartment, moments before Emil kills him, the rose petals on the floor around his head change position in every shot. Continuity: When Eddie is talking to Jordy in the burned-down crime scene, his cigar disappears between shots. It is possible that Eddie has taken the cigar out of his mouth off-screen, but it would have had to happen very quickly. Fact errors: Detective Leon Jackson wears a Detective badge (referred to as a shield on the NYPD) but wears a white uniform shirt and Captain's bars on this collar and shoulders. There is no rank of "Detective Captain" in the NYPD. Continuity: At the beginning of the film, Robert Hawkins (Kelsey Grammer) is in a high-rise building (across from Times Square in NYC) talking to a woman sitting at a desk. They show him talking and the left side of his belt is on the outside of his coat. In the next shot his belt is back under his coat. |
Quotes

Emil Slovak: I love America. No one is responsible for what they do. Robert Hawkins: If it bleeds, it leads! Emil Slovak: I can kill you - I'm insane. Robert Hawkins: Hard to believe... watch. Eddie Flemming: You want a glass of water? [Teasing Jordy] Eddie Flemming: I think I smell fire across the street. Jordy Warsaw: [pointing his gun at Emil] You want to be a real American? You want to be a tough guy? Here's Eddie's gun. Shoot me! Shoot me! Emil Slovak: [laughs] You can't kill me. You're not a cop. Your just a Fireman with a gun. [about Daphne] Eddie Flemming: So, you want to talk to her alone? Jordy Warsaw: Yeah. Eddie Flemming: All right. But, you bring her in to the station right away and don't let her out of your sight. She's the only moving body we got left. Jordy Warsaw: Of course. Don't worry about it, I'm a professional. Eddie Flemming: Yeah, well girls like that got a knack for turning professionals into amateurs. Eddie Flemming: [trying to propose to Nicolette Karas] Speaking of shoes. You know what I was thinking I'm... You know I, I would like to have a... [long pause] some shoes next to my shoes. Immigration Supervisor: Are you related? Oleg Razgul: Yes. Immigration Supervisor: How? Oleg Razgul: I'm his friend. Emil Slovak: [Slovak is washing his wound in the sink while Razgul films, then he cuts the lights] What are you doing? Oleg Razgul: I'm cutting the lights to make it more dramatic, just like the movie "Silence of the Sheeps". Emil Slovak: Shut up! Oleg Razgul: [after filming Slovak shooting Korfin] Perfect! Cut!
