Bikes: Track Bike

from imdb:
  • Errors in geography: The film is supposed to take place in San Francisco but many downtown locations were obviously filmed in Los Angeles, specifically on Broadway and Spring Streets.
  • Continuity: As Jack enters the trading floor he takes a stack of trading slips from Chip's hands. A few moments later, his hands are empty and Chip hands him some trading slips again.
  • Continuity: During the final chase, Jack's face alternates back and forth from grimy and sweaty to clean between shots.
  • Continuity: During the bike race Jack's bike toggles back and forth between a one-speed-no-brake track bike and a typical multi-speed street/road bike.
  • Factual errors: Early in the movie in a bike chase scene, the rider is accelerating, yet when he is shown shifting gears, the chain moves into a larger cog on the rear of the bike. This would move the bike into a lower gear, not a higher gear.
  • Continuity: When Jack is twirling his bike's handlebars and wheel in his apartment the down-tubes on the front forks are straight, but the on his street bike the down-tubes have a slight forward bend at the axle.
