FCC cars SPOILERS

Somebody put as a goof that the antennas were fixed in place on top of the FCC cars, so that they couldn't be used to triangulate the direction of the radio signal. I just finished watching the movie on TV less than an hour ago, and I'm pretty sure that I saw the antennas being rotated by the operators in the cars. However, I want to be 100% sure before I try to have the goof deleted.

So, to get to the point; I would really appreciate it if anybody who owns this movie can watch that sequence, and confirm that the antennas do, in fact, move. The sequence is towards the end, while the gang is heading to the robbery at the chemical plant inside the converted fuel tanker.

I just finished watching this, and yes there are round loop antennae on the roofs of the cars and they do rotate.

Thank you very much. It looks like somebody has already had the "goof" deleted, but it's nice to get some closure on that anyway.

The antennas are shown turning, and guys inside the cars are shown rotating them to line up the directions of the radio signals. I hope you got the so-called "goof" removed.
