Re-watching this movie and I just noticed in the scene after Peter leaves for the Morgue with Matt and Frank is breaking through the glass to get out of the ward they added in Nate saying the above line in post-production to explain why Frank has a gun in the next scene even though it shows him exiting the ward without ever picking up Nate's gun. Not really a goof, but an interesting way the director tried to cover for what otherwise would have been a goof.

Funny. This was airing last night and I noticed that too. They obviously forgot to shoot a scene to cover this, or they just messed up the continuity and couldn't do a reshoot for budget reasons. It's definitely an interesting film. I think if they had a director who the studio believed in, this would have been much better. It just lacked style and charisma overall, but still fun.
