Stormtroopers picture

The Amazing Dobermans picture

Plot hole: Since the criminals who used the dogs to rob the bank in the first movie were never apprehended (No criminal worth their salt would tell the authorities their caper was spoiled because the canines ran off with their loot), there is no way the people who are hunting the dobermans in the beginning of this movie would know the dogs were still carrying the cash. (00:18:00)

Alice, Sweet Alice picture

Other mistake: Legendary wrestler Antonino Rocca makes a cameo appearance in the movie. He is, as correctly listed in the closing credits, one of the "Funeral Attendants" together with Michael Weil. However in the opening credits he was specifically billed as the Funeral Director, which is Ronald Willoughby's role as correctly listed in the end credits. (00:00:50 - 01:45:15)

Revealing mistake: While Funn and Bell are warding off their attackers by throwing Coke cans at them from the machine, Eggs is busy rewinding the retrieved film reel around his body. However, when he's done 'winding', it's obvious the amount of film wrapped around him is significantly less than what was on the film reel.
