At the end, Al Pacino exclaims to Keanu that "we're going into the milennium", "Round 20" who-aaaa and all that jazz as he punches like a boxer.
Shouldn't have been "Round 21" for the 21st Century?

Everyone knows that the Devil and God went on extended vacations in the 5th century, thus the beginning of the Dark Ages. When they showed up again in the 6th century, it took them a long time to get their shit back together again. Hence, the missing round.

i think it is just one of those un-important movie gaffs that know one seemed to catch or cared about, i was merely bringing it up to see if it was ever talked about before...obviously it has not. no big deal, really.

It's just one of those lines that make no sense that nobody caught.
My personal favorite of these is from The Fugitive when Tommy Lee Jones tells Harrison Ford's character that he knows he is innocent and then follows up that comment with this line:
"I'm either lying or I'm going to shoot you."
Huh?! This is when Kimble should have ran like hell!
