MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Valence's gun has a silencer when it falls out of his case; then the silencer is gone for the rest of the scene.
CONT: When we first see the members of the Quorum, one shot pans across a few of them. The sign reading Leonis is next to the sign for Canceron. Later, we see a close-up of the representative from Canceron and the sign next to hers reads Picon.

TRIVIA

Roslin tells Zarek, "Don't worry, I won't kiss you," to which Zarek responds, "That's too bad, I shaved extra close this morning just so you could smack me." This exchange is an almost word-for-word quote of a famous exchange between George C. Scott and 'Michael Bates' in Patton (1970).
In the struggle on the floor of the bar, a beer bottle with the label "Hawryliw" is used by Lee to defend himself. 'Ken Hawryliw' is the property master for the production.
