Mistakes

In the chase scene of the Miata, the inner lights on the light bar are alternating red/blue when the cruisers are seen from afar, but on the close ups of the cruisers the inner lights are not on. See more...

In the scene where Thorny and Rabbit are chasing the Miata on the off-ramp of the interstate, the three stoners in the back of the cruiser are laughing hysterically instead of screaming like in other camera shots. [They're stoners, often subject to drastic mood swings. Besides, they may have given up on screaming and begun to laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.]
Edit
In the beginning of the film when Thorny and Rabbit are chasing the Miata that Mac is driving, there is a shot that shows Mac manually shifting gears. Later on in the movie when Mac and Foster decide to go undercover in O'Hagan's truck, Mac doesn't know how to use a stick shift anymore. [Driving stick shift in a car and stick shift in a semi are very different.]
Edit Corrected by AdmRose Time
When Mac and Foster are in unit 91, Mac radios to Farva that they have a suspicious vehicle, a white Caprice. The police car they are radioing about is really a White Ford Crown Victoria. You can even see the Ford logo on the right side of the trunk. In fact, all the police vehicles used in the movie are Fords. [He intentionally radios the wrong model so he won't suspect it's a police car. ]
Edit
When the all the troopers are hiding in the brush deciding how to take down the smugglers, the local cops drive up. Watch carefully and you will see the two cops in the back seat open their doors. Earlier in the film, Ursula and Foster actually get locked in the back seat of the police car because the back doors have to be opened from the outside. [Ursula and Foster get locked in the back seat of a trooper car, not a police car. Ursula does make a comment how the police cars usually need someone to open the back door to enable a person to get out, but this specific car may not have that function set. Ursula is not adamant that all of the police cars are that way.]
Edit Time
When Ramathorn and Farva pullover the Plymouth Voyager, Ramathorn radios in and says they have a Plymouth Voyager, Vermont plates Alpha, God, Mustard, 1, niner, decade, china. When Farva gets out of the car to call the driver a chicken f**ker, you can see the licence plate, Vermont plate '1 9415'. Ramathorn radioed in the wrong licence plate number. [This is a character mistake. Not a film maker mistake.]
Edit
In the end of the movie when the troopers are spying on the drug dealer and the local police chief pulls up he has his police lights on. Then he gets out and shakes hands revealing to us that they are in cahoots. If they are, then why would he have had his police lights on in approaching the vehicle? [His lights would be on to allow the drug dealers to know it is a police car (and not to worry) approaching. It could be their signal to each other.]
Edit
Besides one car that passes by unit 91 with the dummy inside, notice how there hardly isn't any cars on the side of the highway that is being filmed with the stoners and the chase with the white Miata, yet on the other side, there are cars moving and passing by. [The absence of cars on one side of the highway is not a mistake, but rather just a quirk of the movie. Traffic is not always the same on both sides of highways.]
Edit Time
After the announcement of the governor's speech starting in five minutes, when Mac leaves to check on the guys, it appears Ursula forgets when she's supposed to pass by Farva. She begins to walk by, but when she realizes Mac and Farva are supposed to interact first, she awkwardly stops, turns around, and waits out of view until it is time to walk past Farva. [Ursula does not miss her mark, she actually starts to walk out with Mac, then sees Farva and wishes to avoid him, so heads the other way. She then prroceeds out behind Farva, after seeing Mac dibilitate him.]
Edit Time
When the bullet proof cup is being tested, the troopers are wearing ear protection. Later in the scene the chief drives up and starts talking to them. During this they're still wearing the ear protection, and the chief isn't speaking loud enough for them to hear him. [This was not a factual error. The troopers are wearing Ear Defenders. The ear protection only muffels sounds. It does not block them. A normal voice can still be heard when wearing them.]
Edit
In the scene where the stoner is eating the bag of pot he says "those are shrooms, dude", but it comes out normal as if his mouth was not stuffed full of pot. [This is a corrected duplicate -- But it is still a mistake.] [Actually, if you watch this scene closely, the stoner has moved all of the pot to the side of his mouth, and the dialogue "those are shrooms, dude" is slightly muffled due to his mouth being only half full.]
Edit
In the scene where they pulled over the German couple, the kid was in the back seat at the start of the scene but he gets out of the car during the scene. You can't open a police car from the back seat. [The window was open.]
Edit Time
In the beginning scene with the Stoners, the Trooper's cruiser goes from being a 1997 Crowne Vic to a 1996 Crowne Vic. You can tell by the rear lights on the back of the car where the 97 has a larger set moving towards the center of the car while the 96 has a reflector bar going across. [Actually, the 95-97 Crown Vics had the larger taillights. The 92-94 CVs had the smaller taillights, and some of those had the reflectors (not exactly sure which ones) Also noted in this scene is that Foster is driving one with the reflectors, then later one with just the metal strip along the edge of the trunk.]
Edit
When Ramathorn, Rabbit, and Foster are chasing the white Miata in the beginning of the film, the camera cuts to a shot where the driver of the Miata is shown shifting gears. If you look closer it is visible that the emergency brake is up which would make it kind of difficult to drive in a high speed pursuit. [As the owner of two Miatas, I can state without a doubt that the emergency brake is in the off position. If the emergency brake was on, one would not be able to reach the gear shift comfortably.]
Edit
In the scene where Mac and Foster are playing the Meow game, Mac bets Foster he can't say meow 10 times. After he leaves the car he comes back to say meow one more time, but he has already said it ten times. So he actually says it 11 times. [The fourth meow that Foster says was not a subtle one, and you see Mac put the finger out then go "eeeh" as he contemplates. Most likely he put it down because it was too obvious, especially considering the rest of the counting corresponds in order with the one he did not count.]
Edit
In the beginning when the white Miata drives by and hits the police mannequin's head, it is knocked off and falls almost straight down to the ground. In real life if the Miata hit the head it would go flying and land hardly near the car. [The miata doesnt completely decapitate the mannequin (it would have gone flying in the scene where it happens), it just severs it enough that when foster shakes it the head fell off.]
Edit
In the scene where Mac and Foster are trying to drive the semi trailer and Mac keeps stalling it and say they can't drive stick, but in the beginning when they are chasing Mac to the bar he is driving a stick shift and you can see him change gears. [Mac actually says to the other guys "turns out he can't drive a stick", refering to Foster.]
Edit
In the part where Ramathorn and Mac pull over the crazy man and woman, Ramathorn's son gets out of the police car on his own to get in the front. The back of cop cars have no handles and you can't let yourself out (they even say this later on when Foster and the woman are making out in the back of the cop car). [The highway patrol cars have doors in the back where you can let yourself out, but the regular cop cars do not.]
Edit
As Mac and Foster pull up to issue a speeding ticket while playing the cat game, they tell the local cops to take off. They didn't even know that Larry Johnson was pulled over for speeding, what speed to cite him at, nor are they allowed to issue a ticket when they didn't witness the violation. [First, althought they did assume the charge was speeding without being told, it is the most common highway violation and the officer didn't give Larry Johnson much of a chance to state otherwise. Secondly, any synopsis of this movie explains the state troopers in this film are more concerned with screwing with trouble makers, rather than due process. They couldn't care less about the violation.]
Edit
Where Farve was hand cuffed to the toilet, in a few minutes you see him getting out of his car. [That's the point. Farve escapes from the handcuffs. After they handcuff him, they drive around for along time, stopping by Grady's house.]
Edit
When Thorny's son is along for the ride, he lets himself out of the backseat of the car, but Ursula later states that their cruisers have to have someone else open the backdoor from the outside. [In the shot prior to this, you can see Thorny's son poking him with what looks like a broom. Sonce the window is down, he could have opened the door by reaching out the window.]
