Martin bangs Saverio Guerra's (Benny) head into the armored truck's steering wheel. If you look close, you notice his head doesn't even come close to hitting it. [I just watched the movie and his head does hit the wheel.]

ML uses his hand-saw to cut the rope when he is hanging between buildings. He cuts the rope in front of him, therefore he should have fallen backward, but he fell forward into the construction site. [When watching the film there is absolutely no way to tell that he is cutting in front of the thing he is holding on to. The camera angles make this impossible to know. This mistake is just an assumption.]
Edit
Right at the beginning when Miles is faced with the guard at the robbery, he sets off the fire system and then puts on a gas mask. This is your standard Halon system. The chemical smothers the fire by removing oxygen and leaves no damage. However, a gas mask is of no use as there is nothing to filter. What would have been correct is an oxygen bottle. [Halon does not smother a fire by removing oxygen. This is a common misconception.]
Edit
After the truck crosses the Mexican border, the Mexican Federales use a stinger and you can see blowouts in all 4 tires. Yet when Lawrence pursues the vehicle in the cop car, the tires are intact. Surely he does not have James Bond-style self-inflating tires? [Many armored trucks have run-flat tires, meaning that they can still run when punctured.]
Edit
When he is going through the construction site's vent system after he steals the diamond, he is crawling head first and then he falls down the chute feet first... [He could easily crawl back to the last junction (T shaped) and then crawl feet first back in to let himself drop down feet forward (he isn't stupid).]

The guy in the grocery store and the crane operator who lifts the truck in the end is the same, even the clothes he is wearing are the same. [No. The guy who operates the crane is Native American and wears a black vest. In the grocery store nobody looks like him or is dressed like him.]

When Martin Lawrence walks in the store to get asprin when Luke Wilson is taking care of the call they received, they show a man looking at things in the store. When Dave Chapelle holds up the store, the man disappears. [You can see how the man moves from his corridor (towards the desk) - there is quite a bit of time between seeing the guy and the robbery, the guy could easily left the store without buying anything.]

In a scene near the end, the truck with the drugs in is lifted with an electro-magnet by its roof. Surely the sheet-steel metal of the roof is not strong enough to carry the weight of the truck without ripping it away from its fastenings? [This was obviously as well planned operation and as such, the drug lord probably made sure that the truck could handle the magnet.]
Edit
When Martin Lawrence gets out of prison and goes to visit his girlfriend, Janice, he is standing outside her apartment on the sidewalk and there is a kid on a bike in the background across the street, but he is not moving. The rest of the people across the street in the park are moving, but yet the bike and the kid are still.  It is very obvious. [This is so obvious that it is probably just a kid on the street who thinks it is funny that a loud fight is going on and wants to watch. I can't imagine the crew didnt see him and get rid of him if he didn't belong there as an extra.]
Edit
Near the end Martin Lawrence has his enemy at gunpoint.  The enemy has the diamond. He shoots the enemy and never takes the diamond from him, but a minute later Martin Lawrence is walking away, and has the diamond. [Totally wrong. Martin Lawrence convinces the bad guy with the diamond to give it to him in exchange for a promise to get him a reduced prison sentence and a cut of the diamond when he is released.]
Edit
At the end when Martin Lawrence begins speaking in Spanish he say "Tengo el gato mis pantalones."  Luke Wilson goes onto say "You just said you have a big cat in your pants.'"  That's not true.  If that's what he said, he would have said "Tengo un gato grande en mis pantalones."  What he said was "I have the cat...my pants." [Well, Carlson is a bit bumbling in several aspects through the movie. We even hear him say more specifically in this scene, "You just said you have a...a big cat in your pants." He obviously might be rusty with his Spanish, too; he just understood the basic error that Miles had made.]
