Beverly Hills Cop III (1994) - 15 mistakes

Continuity: Just before Axel uncovers the printing press, the woman puts the map in the oky dokey suit, not his shirt. When he gets out of the suit, he does not pick up the map piece. In the vent he pulls the map out of his pocket, but how did the map piece get from the elephant suit to his pocket without him picking the piece up?

Factual error: At the end of the movie Uncle Dave introduces a new character to the Wonderland family, Axel Fox, as a way of thanking Axel for his hard work and for saving his park. Earlier in the film Axel is awaiting to use the phone behind a father and son. The phone is designed in the form of Axel Fox who shouldn't be invented at this time.

Deliberate "mistake": Twice in this film Axel is shot at by multiple gunmen using automatic weapons at close range - and they all miss. In the Earthquake theme ride the bullets ricochet of the rails at Axel's feet. Why are they all aiming low? Why don't they raise their aim? In the park outside he hides behind a perfectly ordinary park bench and the bullets hit the wooden slats. Not one goes through the open spaces between them? I know bad guys can't shoot straight in the movies, but this is ridiculous ...

Continuity: When Axel is in the Wonderworld tunnels he is spotted by security and they come after him. After Cooper jumps down from the rail, Axel's gun falls to the ground. It is in the middle of the walkway. Axel gets up and runs away and another bad guy is helping Cooper up but the gun is no longer in the walkway.

Factual error: In an early scene, when Axel Foley is pursuing the bad guys' truck, he is driving a red sports car that is gradually being shot to pieces around him by the bad guys. At one point, his airbag deploys, momentarily impeding his driving. This is a prop error: It was much smaller than a real airbag, it inflated much more slowly than the real thing, and it remained inflated till he mashed it down (real airbags pop and deflate within a second).

Plot hole: Uncle Dave, the elderly owner of Wonder World, takes a bullet to the torso, yet he is able to stand at a podium to introduce the new character, while all three of the erstwhile heroes, who received arm wounds, are in wheelchairs.

Continuity: In the big wheel, the boy falls out and grabs Axel's leg. When it zooms out, it is a man climbing his leg.

Continuity: When Axel and Janice are looking at the blueprints of the park she rips off part of the blueprint at Axel's request. She then folds it in half with the print inside the fold then in half again. When she stuffs the folded blueprint into Axel's costume the print is suddenly on the outside of the paper when it had been folded on the inside.

Deliberate "mistake": When Cooper is chasing Axel, who is on the Spider, he steps on the train. The music is singing "It's a happy, happy place". When he steps on the train, it screams out in pain. This is obviously put in for comedic purposes as the train does not have feelings and would not scream out in pain.

Continuity: When Axel discovers the hidden room in Wonderworld, he decides to jump on the light and swing to the floor. When he lands you can notice some white powder located on his behind, but in the next shot when he leaves the room the white powder has vanished.

Revealing: When Axel shoots the guy on the tracks of the subway ride, you can see a little wire flip up from his leg when he falls. This is the wire that goes to the squib in the guy's shirt.

Deliberate "mistake": When Axel is trying to rescue the kids on the Spider ride he simply pushes open the cage door. There is no way that the door could be opened so easily. Amusement park rides have safety latches on the doors to prevent people from falling out.

Continuity: When Rosewood shoots the second bad guy, the bad guy falls over the rail. There is no blood or evidence of a shooting on his shirt. When the camera cuts back to him there is a lot of blood and bullet holes on his shirt.

Continuity: During the shootout at the chop shop the passenger door to Axel's car keeps getting shot up, then has a few bullet holes and gets shot up again.

Revealing: When Hector Elizondo is on the radio trying to find out who is paging him, he is talking to the rear of the hand piece.
