- Why De Niro and Deirdre suddenly become attracted is questioned again.
- Witt should have played herself, since assassinating the real Katarina Witt would be a bigger international incident.
- The skating performance runs impossibly long while the heroes get through security, joked as a 25-minute routine to Free Bird or Hotel California with the sniper growing impatient.
- French law enforcement barely reacts to a countrywide crime spree, ravaged bistros and car chases; after the wrong-way highway chase and crash there are no cops.
