| Goofs | During the final shootout, Detective Gresko takes three bullets out of his revolver to fool a man into thinking his gun is empty. He fires one shot, leaving him with two and no time to reload. When Yunika gets Gresko's gun, he fires more than the two shots that should have been left. See more » |
