  • A cop pulls a gun to end a shoving match in the department.
  • After Nilsen's death, they sniff Nick's gun, clearly a Glock, although they said it was a .38 revolver; DNA testing is again cited.
  • Hazel Dobkins killed her husband and three kids in 1956 and was released in 1965, and Gus would have been a toddler at the time.
  • Roxy was arrested in 1986 at 16 for killing two siblings, served a couple of years, and is already with Catherine by 1992.
  • Nick drives the lamest convertible of the early 90s; a Corvette is suggested; he also drives a Plymouth in the chase.
  • Roxy hits Nick with the Lotus without cracking the windshield, and her corpse has no blood.
  • Movie cop bars from 1988 to 1995 are all super aggressive, as in the De Niro cop movie.
