Mistake Continuity: After being put on leave, Bogomil leaves the office and is driving towards the camera. His car is being followed, then passed by, the Mercedes Benz driven by Karla Fry. The license plate on the front of Bogomil's car is 2CTE919. When he pulls over to help Karla the license plate on the front of his car has changed to 2CTE673.

Mistake Continuity: When Axel gets the bag of vitamins from Rosewood the bag is rolled/folded closed in one direction only. This is also seen after Axel wets his face with the water from the champagne bucket. After he wets his face he grips the back with the folded top of the back facing him. The next shot he is walking towards the receptionist with the bag facing her. The folded edge is now facing away from him. The single folded edge is best seen after he picks up the bag from the receptionist's desk.

Mistake Continuity: After Axel shoots the screens in the gun club they show a shot of Karla and Russ talking about the shell casing. You can see the screens between and around them. There are no holes. Axel is also playing with the artificial laser sighted gun just as he was in the previous shots before he shot holes in the screens. Axel and Karla are later shown at the shooting range and the screens are perfectly intact.

Mistake Continuity: When Axel, Rosewood, and Taggart are racing to to get to the City Deposit, Rosewood takes a hard left turn. During this turn we can see that Axel is in the passenger seat and Taggart is in the back seat. Axel's Lions jacket is best seen with slo-mo or paused video. The next shot Taggart is in the front seat on the police radio and Axel is in the back seat. This clip was taken from later in the movie when the guys are racing to the Emperian Fields race track and Axel is in the front seat with Taggart in the back seat.

Mistake Continuity: When Axel, Rosewood, and Taggart are racing to get to the City Deposit, Rosewood takes a hard left turn. During the turn the red police beacon falls off of the car. The next shot looking into the car you can see the beacon back on top of the car.

Mistake Continuity: When Axel, Rosewood, and Taggart are racing to get to the City Deposit, Rosewood and Taggart fight over whether the light is green or red. Rosewood drives through it and hits another car. The red police beacon falls off the roof and onto the hood. As the car spins the beacon is gone. In the next shot we can see the beacon back on top of the car above Taggart's head.

Mistake Continuity: When Axel pulls into the warehouse to meet up with Vinnie he barely gets the Ferrari into the dock doorway and it is crooked when he parks it. After he gets out of the car the car is pulled in further into the doorway and parked straight.

Mistake Continuity: When Axel, Rosewood, and Taggart are racing to get to the Emperian Fields racetrack the red police beacon once again falls off of the car on a hard left turn. The next shot the beacon is back on top of the car.

Mistake Continuity: When Axel, Rosewood, and Taggart pull up beside the racetrack near the end of the film, you see both doors on the passenger side began to open. Axel is exiting the front, and Taggart is exiting the back. A split second later, we see the car from the driver side and Rosewood exits the front driver side, and Taggart exits the rear driver side. Apparently, they shot it with Taggart exiting the passenger rear when the car pulled up, then they shot it once the car was stopped with Taggart exiting the driver rear.

Mistake Continuity: At the oil fields warehouse Axel opens a crate of grenades on the back of the truck. The lid from the crate shifts slightly from when he opens it to when he reaches in and takes out some grenades.

Mistake Continuity: When Axel, Rosewood, and Taggart are getting shot at at the oil fields a machine gun tears up the "Property of The US Air Force" crate in front of them. A few seconds later from a distance we can see that the crate is in perfect condition without bullet holes.

Mistake Continuity: The guy in the armored car's passenger seat disappears and reappears during the chase.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where they are chasing the armored car in the cement truck the chutes on the truck keep going from being down to folded up. This happens several times in the scene.

Mistake Continuity: At the beginning, when the limo comes around the corner to the Jewelers, the license plate says one thing when the car turns the corner, then is a personalized plate reading something else when the car parks in front of the store.

Mistake Continuity: When Lt. Bogomil gets shot in a driveby while helping Brigette Nielsen's character with her car, you can plainly see that the driveby car is a black 1987 Camaro.   However, later in the movie the same gunmen are shown driving a black 1977 Camaro. [They could have changed car, but it doesn't seem likely...]

Mistake Continuity: When Eddie Murphy jumps onto the moving ready-mix concrete truck that Judge Reinhold has stolen, you can see that his gun falls out of his jeans, yet he is using it moments later.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the meeting at the police station with among others Chief Lutz and the mayor you see part of technical equipment in the top left corner of the screen - several times."

Mistake Continuity: In the sequence when Dent's car goes over the ridge and crashes below, one shot shows the car going over the edge completely straight with its front end slamming into the ground below. The next shot, supposedly a split-second later, shows the car sideways while striking the ground, stopped almost completely and bursting into flames.

Mistake Continuity: In the opening scene, Eddie Murphy actually drives two different types of Ferrari - a 308 and a 328. During his journey, the cars keep changing.

Mistake Continuity: The sunglasses on the guard at the warehouse at film's end disappear and reappear when Axel beats him up.
