Jean-Claude Van Damme in Hard Target (1993)

Goofs

Hard Target

Edit

Continuity

Chance fired at least 100 bullets from two pistols with no reloading, during gunfire with Van Cleef.
When Chance jumps across the bonnet of the car and kicks the guy on the motorcycle in the chest, the bike carries on and falls over, clearly showing the rear light being torn away. Yet when Chance runs to the bike a few seconds later to give chase to the people carrier, the light is fixed.
At the showdown, the second time Fuchon fires at Chance, his barrel flies open as a sign that it is needs to reload. In the next shot, he opens the barrel to reload even though it was already opened.
During first fight Chance punched the guy with cap in belly. In next shot same guy was several meters far from Chance running with knife to stab him.
In the first fight scene outside the diner, Chance leg sweeps a thug who lands on top of Chance but the next shot at a different angle the guy lands beside him not even coming close to landing on him.

Factual errors

When Fouchon is going over Chance Boudreaux's military record he says that (Chance) was apart of Marine Force Recon and his file even says U.S. Marines but the picture shown in the file shows him wearing a U.S. Army service uniform.
Hand grenades are triggered by a small primer charge that sets off the plastic explosives through explosion. The primer charge explodes rather than merely causing sparks, which wouldn't set off the explosives anyway.
A shotgun blast at close range to the head will not leave a head intact.
A normal hand grenade will not take as long time to explode as the one that Boudreaux uses on Fouchon.
Van Cleaf, after shooting Randal with his shotgun, pumps his weapon to load the next round. However, when the gun battle with Boudreaux begins moments later, Van Cleaf pumps his shotgun again and yet no shell ejects from the chamber.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

While on horseback, Douvee points and tells Nat to go and call the sheriff. She rides off. Next they both arrive at the warehouse together, but that's because Nat didn't go to call the sheriff when she rode off. And that's why Douvee looks awkward when she leave him standing alone.

Revealing mistakes

When Chance is riding his bike through the fire you can clearly see that there's a stuntman with some kind of fireproof mask on.
During the warehouse fight Fouchon's jacket is catches fire and he throws it into a wall. During this scene (and scene shortly afterwards) you can clearly see fire retardant gel on actor Lance Henriksen's hair. Gel was clearly used to protect the actor's hair from catching fire.
When Van Cleef killed the doctor, completely covering peephole & shooting thru the peephole. When Fouchon and Van Cleef are seen leaving after the doctor is dead, there is no damage to the peephole from the inside, nor the door for that matter, even though the bullet supposedly went thru and shot the doctor in the head.
When Chance is riding his bike through the fire of the burning bike you can clearly see the jump platform used to elevate his bike over the fiery wreckage.
When Chance Boudreaux breaks the thugs arm, outside the diner it's clearly a fake arm.

Miscellaneous

Fouchon makes a point of wiping his fingerprints from a letter opener, yet several times he casually tosses away spent shells handled without gloves.
The police cruiser that is under fire has 991 on the side of the car, that is incorrect, it should be 911.
In the meeting of Van Cleef, Fouchon and Zenan meet to discuss the next hunt, Van Cleef is wearing a long sleeve Turtleneck shirt with a Polo style shirt over it. This in no way no matter where you go in Louisiana is considered fashion in the state, but more importantly, it is way to warm and the humidity would eat you alive.

Crew or equipment visible

During the warehouse gunfight after Nat tosses Chance the second pistol, if you slow down the fight when he kicks the second guy, you can see a spring that prevents the guy from being hurt.
When a car explodes during the freeway chase, you can clearly see some cables (maybe keeping car parts from flying off?).
During the warehouse fight, Fuchon fires a bullet at Chance but misses and hits an explosive barrel. When the barrel flies off, you can clearly see the hose that is propelling the barrel up.

Errors in geography

The plot of the movie requires the victims to try and reach the Mississippi River. In the opening scene, we see a desperate veteran running through the French Quarter (which is located in downtown New Orleans). Moments later, we see him running through a park towards the Mississippi River...with New Orleans visible in the background *across* the river.
