Continuity mistake: When "the Secret Service agent" is fighting Zhang Ziyi in the casino, Ziyi kicks her black platform boot into a cabinet door. A few minutes later Ziyi is fighting Carter in the casino and she does a kick, revealing her now small-heeled boot.
Visible crew/equipment: When Isabella tells Lee and Carter "they think I'm a crooked customs agent", right next to Carter's face is a crew member reflected in the window.
Factual error: When Chris and Jackie are stripped butt naked at the freeway, they were in Causeway Bay (on Hong Kong Island). It is impossible for them to go back to the Yau Ma Tei Police Station in Kowloon Peninsula. The only way to get there is by traveling through tunnels or using the ferry. There is no road that you can walk along.
Other mistake: When Carter and Lee walk through the Crenshaw 'restaurant', the Chinese woman who yells at them speaks very, very bad Chinese - the first half is incomprehensible and the last half is mostly mispronounced.
Continuity mistake: When the detectives are in the truck, the first view shows us a little dark sky, and the headlights of the cars are on, but inside the limousine, it's much more clear then outside, and the headlights are off.
Continuity mistake: When Carter is trying to bust the bad guy in the massage parlour there are several bottles of ointments and things on the table next to the bad guy. They switch places in a few shots.
Continuity mistake: After Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan have been chucked naked out of the car on to the freeway, they run to the police station to get changed into new clothes. When in this room, they have a little argument with each other and every time the camera pans across to Chris Tucker the clothes on the hangers keep shifting from side to side.
Continuity mistake: When Lee and Carter go to the Reing Plaza, they ask some guy there about some Zing, and the guy run away to Hu Li, but when the detectives talk to her, the guy who ran keeps changing, sometimes he's on the right, and sometimes he's on left.
Factual error: After the first shot of Carter as he is walking up the stairs of the building with the bamboo scaffolding, the New York Life Building is in the background. This scene is supposed to take place in China. (Scenes were actually shot in Hong Kong, China, but the NY Life Building has famous distinctive architecture.)
Other mistake: When Carter and Lee go into the nightclub and talk to the hostess, watch closely, you'll see Lee walk into Carter's shoulder momentarily and then pull his head back quickly, before walking off.
Continuity mistake: After Lee and Carter get out of the truck they were tied in, they try to escape through doors. You see Lee pushing on the door and not pulling, which is how Carter got his door open.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, in the airport scene, Carter and Lee are saying their goodbyes. IF you look over Carter's shoulder, you see a girl in a green sweater with white sleeves walking away from him, the scene switches back to Lee, then when it switches back to Carter, you see her starting back at the exact same spot walking back again. This happens several times.
Visible crew/equipment: When Carter and Lee are sitting in Carter's black Corvette, Carter says, "Lee, Snoopy is six inches taller than you," and you can faintly see the reflection of the boom mic in the windshield on Carter's side of the car.
Visible crew/equipment: Lee is hiding out in the back of the bar at the beginning while Carter is on the stage. Lee's cover is blown and you see him walk into the restroom. A camera man is reflected in the mirror.
Continuity mistake: Carter and Lee enter the back parking lot witnessing Zhang Ziyi and crew hauling items into the truck. The shot where Ziyi, Carter and Lee confront each other, the lighting shows pimples on her forehead. The next continuing scene where she is in the back of the limo on the highway, her forehead is clear of pimples.
Revealing mistake: When Lee and Carter are left hanging on the Chinese bamboo, Lee says, "It's very strong." Look closely at Carter's left arm, there is a safety wire running from the bamboo, down Carter's sleeve.
Continuity mistake: When Jackie Chan is in his car after he thinks Chris Tucker is dead he plays the P. Diddy song 'Ill be missing you'. When he makes a call to the man it's at the start of the song. When the camera switches back to Chan at least a minute of the song has passed and when it switches back after going to that man again its near the end of the song in about 20 seconds.
Continuity mistake: When Lee asks the Chinese man behind the desk where 'Zeen' is he runs off. He then goes through a door and then through another door and you see him run into the yard outside. But when the shot changes to the yard you see him run through the second door again.
Answer: He said "where did you come from man."
