Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Stallone's character is seen wearing a wedding band in earlier scenes yet in the film he is not married. This is confirmed when he states that he's came back for Jessie, clearly his love interest but not his wife. See more »
