Trivia
Despite the title, tear gas is not mentioned until five minutes before the end of this film, it is not used until two minutes before the end, and there is no actual tear gas squad. Tear gas is just a weapon coincidentally used by regular police offers. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: In a street scene late in the film, the Warner Bros. water tower, complete with logo, can be seen over the false fronts of the New York street. See more »Soundtracks
