Chekhov's Gun: The border sensors getting set up earlier in the film. The corrupt feds try to use it to hunt down Bobby Logan, but Bobby remembered a blind spot - a dry riverbed - the sensors couldn't map and he uses it to evade the gunmen and kill them from behind. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Flashpoint (1984) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The DVD cover◊ shows the U.S. Capitol building despite the story taking place entirely in the Texas desert. Granted, the plot does involve the discovery of a government conspiracy, but it's still a bit misleading. | |
