CHIPS

Factual error: In the Miami car chase scene near the beginning of the film, the getaway car has Florida license plates on both the front and rear bumpers. In Florida, cars only have rear license plates.

Factual error: The opening of the movie has the two "CHiPs" in two different locations. One is in California, the other in Florida. One wakes up at 5 and prepares for the big criminal enterprise, while the other gets up at 8 for their law enforcement test. The montage shows their accolades entwined. After all, there is a 3 hours difference between the 2 states. The problem is... it's the one in Florida that is up at 5 AM, and the one in California that is up at 8 AM. When it's 5 AM in FL, it's 2 AM in CA. It should have been the other way around, the CA guy being up at 5 and the East coast guy at 8.

Factual error: When the motorhome gets T-boned, it breaks clean in half. The motorhome would have a heavy steel frame that would bend but not break, so the frame was obviously cut for dramatic effect during the stunt.

Continuity mistake: Jon fell over on the rainy day and he can't get up. When he blindly goes for his phone, clothes he had on the bedstand (and that he could have put on) disappear between shots, and when he knocks the magazine off the bedstand and the pillow underneath, there is no trace of the tube that is instead perched on it later in the scene.
