The photo that Ron Livingston (Donnie Anderson) holds of his "dad" is actually the real life LAPD SWAT officer Donnie Anderson who was one of the 3 SWAT officers who engaged the final suspect and whom Ron Livingstons character is loosely based on. You can also see him and other officers being awarded the LAPD Medal for Valour for their part in the ordeal at the end of the film.

Goofs

In several frontal shots of the robbers firing their AK 47 assault rifles, the weapons are shown as having a circular muzzle flash. In reality, AK 47s without silencers or flash suppressors (not seen in the movie) have a bow-tie shaped muzzle flash.

The Training Officer, while referring to his Vietnam War experience, talks about "Chinese-made AK-47 machine gun". The Chinese version of the AK47/AKM is designated Type 56 and is considered an assault rifle, not a machine gun. A Vietnam-War veteran will surely be aware of this difference.
