Fact errors: In several frontal shots of the robbers firing their AK 47 assault rifles, the weapons are shown as having a circular muzzle flash. In reality, AK 47s without silencers or flash suppressors (not seen in the movie) have a bow-tie shaped muzzle flash. Continuity: When Officer Henry Jones and Officer Nicole put Ramon in the police car during the scene of the domestic disturbance, it was a 1995 Chevy Caprice. As they pulled up to the bank robbery it was a 1996 Ford Crown Victoria. Continuity: When suspect one shoots himself in the head and is shown falling to the ground, his Beretta lands at least a meter away from him. After the next cut, the gun is loosely in his hand again. DATE: In a shot of some cars passing you can see a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer driving past, but the movie is supposed to take place in 1997. Continuity: When Emil shoots at the guy in the pick-up truck, the man runs out and leaves the door open. In the next shot when Emil stops next to the car, the door is closed. Fact errors: When the police are acquiring AR-15s from the gun store, and transporting them in the shopping cart it's easy to see the bayonet lugs. The real North Hollywood Shootout took place in 1997, three years into the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, which, among other things, banned the sale of new firearms with attached bayonet lugs and other cosmetic features. There's no way these guns would have bayonet lugs like they do in the movie. CHAR: The gun store owner refers to the Remington 700 as "the best sniper rifle made". The Remington 700 was never designed specifically as a sniper rifle, but rather as a hunting rifle that was later adapted over for sniping capabilities. Fact errors: The Training Officer, while referring to his Vietnam War experience, talks about "Chinese-made AK-47 machine gun". This cannot be correct as the Chinese version of the AK47/AKM is called AK56 and by the time the Vietnam War started, it is categorized as an Assault Rifle and not a Machine Gun. A Vietnam-War veteran will surely be aware of this difference. |

Henry Jones: I want you to read it, Ramon Ramon: Which part? Henry Jones: Whatever part speaks to you. Henry Jones: Luck is preparation meets opportunity. Donnie Anderson: Do you get scared? Yeah. You stay scared? Better not. Emil Matasareanu: Holy shit, there's a lot of them out there. Larry Eugene Phillips Jr.: [Points to AK-47] We've got these. Emil Matasareanu: Right, right. Larry Eugene Phillips Jr.: They've got nothing but their little dicks in their hands... |
