Goofs

The .44 Smith & Wesson magnum used by Ivan Danko near the end of the film holds six shots, and Danko fires many more than this without reloading.

When the bus driven by Arnold Schwarzenegger crashes through the fountain, its left headlight is smashed. However, several later shots of the bus show both headlights are still functioning.

At the end of the movie when they crash the bus, Danko smashes the rear window with his fist. The window shatters before his fist hits the glass.

When Ridzik attempts to question Rosta about the key, Rosta says in Russian (according to Danko) "Go and kiss your mother's behind". However, Ridzik tells Gallagher that Rosta told him to f-ck his mother's behind.

When Danko checks in the hotel, he signs in the book using printed letters and gets the room 302. However, when Victor checks the book, Danko's signature is different and it says he is in room 303.

When Danko and his partner discuss the drug problem, the translation says they are referring to Miami while they were actually referring to Harlem.

Ivan Danko's police uniform is a combination of at least six different uniforms. His hat is a Moscow Commander's Special and he also wears a Parade Band Musician axelbant.

At the beginning of the film where they chase the villain he jumps down from a roof and there can be seen several dumpsters. Those were not the kind of dumpsters used in Russia. Those were of western design.

In the article by Fowler in the London Times there is the word "kilometers" with the American spelling rather than the British spelling "kilometres". It is very unlikely that an article by a British journalist in a British newspaper would use this spelling. It is also unlikely a British newspaper would use Kilometres, as Britain still uses imperial miles, road signs, speed limits etc are all still stated in Miles. Although for smaller measurements, the metric system is used, Kilo's instead of Pounds and Centimetres in place of inches.

There are numerous mistakes with how many bullets various weapons can hold before reloading~a common mistake with action movies that have guns.

The teleprinter at the Moscow militia headquarters is seen printing a message in Russian but in the Latin alphabet. Equipment used by the Soviet government would undoubtedly allow the Cyrillic alphabet to be used.

They do have those. Also, some using the Latin alphabet. Ever since Kennedy sent the first ones to Moscow in July 1963.

After the cross dressing nurse shoots the air bubble into the Russian man in the hospital, the man supposed to dead. But the next screen shot of the two you can see the dead man is moving his head side to side.

Suppositions lead to errors. The air bubble wasn't enough to kill him immediately. He was thrashing his head in agony as it traveled through his vein.

When Danko is being told to "...bring Victor home and tell no-one", the subtitle spells Victor two different ways - Victor and Viktor.

Translation subtitles are not the responsibility of the film makers. They are outsourced.

The Russian letters that appear in the opening credits are all used in the wrong context and don't make sense phonetically. For example, the Cyrillic letter resembling an inverted R is actually pronounced as "ya". The Cyrillic letter resembling an inverted N is equivalent to "i" in the Latin alphabet.

Obviously nobody actually thinks that font, created for the movie to give a Soviet look, was really trying to spell something in Russian.

The heroin that Ridzik places in Streak's pocket during the questioning is visible, gone and then visible again.

The heroin was visible only once, when Ridzik took it out of Streak's pocket.

In the hotel shoot out scene - just before the cleanheads starts shooting at Arnold. The small charge designed to look like a bullet hit goes off before the actual shot is fired.

At 1:12:21, when Ridzik is going though the pile of forms, one of the forms has the title "Worthless Document Case Report"

Most of the time Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke in Russian it is real hard to understand what he was saying.

Rostavili, a Georgian, is regularly identified by the Americans as a Russian - a common mistake during the existence of the Soviet Union.

When the nurse in the hospital shoots at Ratzik, bullets from her gun are seen sparking off the tray trolley when they would have undoubtedly gone through the tray and then through Ratzik.

After getting shot in the hospital by the fake nurse, Danko and Ridzik are talking while Ridzik is lying on a stretcher. Ridzik asks Danko if they have a shithouse in Russia, and Danko answers, "Yes," without moving his lips.

Around 01:20:57, we can heard a shooter says "It's him", then he turns his head and we see his lips moving without sound.

He wasn't moving his lips. He was closing his mouth.

When Danko's wristwatch starts beeping, it shown to be some kind of vintage analog watch with mechanical clock hands, but the alarm sound is very digital similar to a Japanese Casio.

At the beginning of the movie, when Arnold jumps out of the sauna window with one of the Villains you can see a stunt double instead of Arnold.

When Vanko shoots the chain lock off the door to allow Cat to escape, there are two shots that show the copper wires used to detonate the charge for the effect.

The movie is set in Chicago, but palm trees are visible during the street chase.

The first street scene in Chicago features an LA Metro bus and Los Angeles street signs, while the scenes at the supposedly Chicago O'Hare Airport are filmed at Los Angeles International.

The United States has never had an extradition treaty with either the Soviet Union or Russia as a republic. A Russian law officer would not be allowed to pursue and arrest a Russian citizen in America any more than the FBI would be allowed to arrest an American in Russia, Edward Snowden for example.

At the funeral of Danko's partner, the year of death on his tomb stone says 1988. Later on, when Danko checks in at a motel, the date he writes in the book is somewhere in 1987. When Danko is handed the property release form for Rosta at the Chicago Police Department it also lists the date as 1987.

The dead gangsters slightly blink their eyes when their photos are taken.

Danko says his grandparents were "killed in war against Nazis". The term "Nazi / Nazism" was not used in the Soviet Union, instead they (incorrectly) used "Fascist / Fascism". This was deliberate, as "Nazi" is the acronym of "National Socialist", and the Soviets tried to avoid connecting the term "Socialist" to anything bad and evil.

Also, the Second World War was commonly called The Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union (and still is, in present-day Russia).

When Danko accuses Streak of lying, Ridzik says he has the right to do so in the U.S. This is incorrect. Lying to a police officer is a crime and someone doing it can be charged with obstructing a peace officer.

The gun Danko is using throughout the film is the Desert Eagle .50"caliber.
