Revealing: When the man shoots a target next to Jack's second cousin's head you can see a shot of him pointing his gun. It is clear there is a pole supporting the gun.

⇓

Continuity: When they are in the ambulance, Danny screams 'I said, turn around!' and draws his gun. The next shot shows the driver looking to the rear and getting scared by the gun. In this shot you can see by the window that the car is totally stopped, and some car with a yellow light is passing by them. But in the very next shot, the ambulance is stopping (you can even hear the tires) and there is no car with the yellow light to be seen.

⇓

Revealing: There is an obvious shot splice of the elevator reaching the floor with Jack on it and one without him. The position of the elevator changes ever so slightly and you can tell the difference in the light coming from the elevator.

⇓

Deliberate "mistake": When Jack rips the door off the cab, he first breaks the top hinge and enters the cab. In the next shot when he pulls the cabbie out of the car, the door is completely off and laying on the ground. A few shots later when Jack grabs the newspaper, the door is seen hanging again.

Continuity: During the car chase when Danny is in movie-world, Jack is firing the thugs and his hair moves a lot during the wide angle, but barely at all a frame later in the close-up.

⇓

Other: Before Jack's car jumps over the bridge, a van skids on the road. The first angle shows a thug firing at Jack, and the second angle shows Jack swerving to the left to dodge the bullets. The editing is all wrong here: The thug fires at the opposite lane to where Jack is, so he is really driving to where the bullets are.

⇓

Continuity: Before the thug lands on the ice cream truck, when Jack shoots him his moving car is right next to the truck, so he could not have flown for several meters towards the truck. In fact he would have driven way past the ice cream truck and crashed against the curb.

⇓

Continuity: When Jack s shooting at the chopper from inside the elevator, its door has bits of remaining glass around the sides, which disappear from the chopper's POV. This changes back and forth.

Continuity: When Arnie's car is parked with the thugs in front, and he is pressing the gas pedal while Danny sits behind encouraging him, there's a wide angle of the car and Danny is completely gone, only to reappear in the next shot.

⇓

Revealing: After distracting the thugs, Arnie, with Danny inside the car, drives inside some compound and parks in reverse. The image is very obviously sped-up to give the feeling that he is maneuvering really fast.
