    • Goofs
      When Ned finds the small semi-automatic pistol in the purse, he removes the magazine, but does not rack the slide to make sure there is not a round in the chamber - and returns the gun to the purse.
    • Quotes
      • Armando Ferrer: Of course, in order to understand any of this, you must first understand Mastegui. His life, dedicated only to one end: the pursuit and destruction of criminals. I have no personal fondness for him, but...
      • Ned Sherwood: Well, that's one thing we share in common: we both despise Mastegui.
      • Armando Ferrer: Ahhh, but you are wrong, Senor. I do not despise him. I respect him. He is the only completely incorruptible man I have ever met. He trusts no one, he suspects everyone. He suspects *me.*
      • Ned Sherwood: That's a suspicious cop.
    • Crazy credits
      Prior to any film information is the message, "We wish to express our sincere gratitude to the Cuban government and its agencies for their help in making this picture in Havana."
