Death Warrant (1990)

Goofs

Death Warrant

Edit

Continuity

When Burke is in the records room and he closes the drawer he cuts his right arm. When the guard comes in and Burke is on the bulkhead, his left arm is bleeding.
At the very beginning of the film Louis Burke enters a building and is slashed across the chest by "The Sandman", Louis Burke drops his gun which lands more than arms reach away, he then tries to reach for it, and cannot reach it. In the exact next shot, he has it in his hand and then holds it in front of him and then shoots "The Sandman".
In the beginning of the movie Burke shoots the Sandman several times in the chest. Later in the movie when the Sandman first attacks Burke when being held up in chains, we see the Sandman leaving the room with his shirt open and bares a chest with no bullets scars.
In the beginning Burke gets slashed, but already has a slash across his torso area, when slashed the slash disappears as being slashed.

Factual errors

"The Sandman" taunts Van Damme with the line, "Bring me a dream, Burke! Bring me a dream.". The song "Mr. Sandman" clearly states that it is the Sandman who brings the dreams and not Jean-Claude Van Damme...unless he just knocked you out with a kick to the face.
At the beginning of the film Burke locates The Sandman at his hideout in defense from being overpowered and slashed Burke shoots the Sandman at close range 6 shots with a 357 magnum or a snub nose there is no way any human being could take all 6 shots to the chest from that firearm and live or not be paralyzed for life if survived but later on in the film The Sandman looks almost perfect with no scars or injuries from the shooting..

Revealing mistakes

Throughout the film many of the prisoners including Van Damne are seen wearing regular clothes. Not only would this not happen in a major prison, but every prisoner has a designated uniform that they must wear at all times, not only do the prisoners violate this many times, but most prisoners violate the rules, and it's just ignored and ignored many times.

Miscellaneous

Near the film end and Louis Burke connects wires to the cell door to create an electrocution.

Crew or equipment visible

near the end when BURKE runs from prisoner , a scene at 1:14 when he took the downstairs, you can see a moving shadow of one of the crew on the stairs .

Character error

Since Louis Burke is identified as a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, his correct French-Canadian surname would be spelled Bourque. According to ancestry research, the surname Burke is of Anglo-Norman or, alternatively, Børke of Americanized Norwegian origin.
