A wild shootout in a discotheque caps this thriller, when police lieutenant Jack Armstrong and his partner (Pepe Serna) inadvertently walk in on killer Tony Pate (Mickey Rourke) holed up with an assault rifle planning a massacre later that night (as the real Son of Sam had planned to do). Armstrong carries what appears to be a standard .38 six-shot revolver. But on the soundtrack you can hear eight shots during the first battle in a second-floor bar. Armstrong then reloads (his partner doesn't), runs up the stairs to the top floor and continues shooting it out until blasting Pate on the dance floor. Again you can count eight shots from Armstrong's gun.
