Starring: Kim Cattrall, Steve Guttenberg, G.W. Bailey, Bubba Smith
The riot leader has Lieutenant Harris held hostage on top of a building. Mahoney tries to save him, but ends up being held hostage too. They are saved by the surprise reappearance of Hightower, who punches the riot leader down a flight of stairs, where he is held at bay by Hooks, who finally finds her shouting voice. Barbara beats up the four guys from the beginning of the movie who threw his film stand into the river. Tackleberry gets pissed that he missed the shooting. At the academy graduation ceremony, Hightower and Mahoney receive a special heroism award, and Mahoney is visited by the podium hooker during his acceptance speech, which ends the movie. As an aside, as they are trying to escape the rioters, Copeland and Blanks duck into a back alley door, and it ends up being the Blue Oyster again.

Continuity mistake: At the start of the film, Mahoney is wearing a white shirt with badges on it from the company he works for. When he's being interrogated by Sgt. Reed the shirt remains the same until the last part of the scene. The camera stays on Mahoney and we can see that the badges on the shirt are gone. If you look closely, you will notice that he is even wearing a completely different white shirt, which now looks more scruffy and creased. (00:08:00)
Carey Mahoney: What are you in for?
Larvell Jones: I'll show you. [holds a microphone to his mouth and imitates gun fire causing everyone to drop to the floor.]
Desk Officer: GOD DAMN IT, STOP THAT.
Question: In a real life situation, would Blankes and Copeland have any disciplinary actions against them when their guns were taken from them and used to hold Harris hostage and shoot at Mahoney?

Answer: With no witnesses to say HOW their guns were taken, they could have said they were taken by surprise and overpowered. Knowing their characters, this is likely what happened. No one would know the truth, that they simply froze and allowed the man to take their guns away.
