Goofs During the car chase and gun battle with the police, after Moose Matson is wounded, you can hear him say, "Pull over, will ya?", but the actor's lips are clearly not moving. Also, he's firing at the police (and they are firing at him) through the back window of the car, but when he's shot he's crouching behind the back seat and under the level of the window. See more »
