Continuity: One can easily see that was not a Trans Am that made the big jump, but whatever it was mysteriously turns back into one when it lands on the other side.

Continuity: After Sonny and Ski make the jump, they pull Sonny out of the car and he hugs Gwen. Gwen pulls back about 2 feet to look at Sonny and when the camera angle changes they are back nose to nose.

Continuity: There is one scene in the final earthquake as Ski and Sonny are driving around the city that's being destroyed - the Trans Am gets hit from the right side, hard enough to throw the car into a small skid, but seconds later there is no damage to the car, and nothing like that was discussed during the planning of the stunt. One has to wonder if that hit was unintentional and not scripted.

Continuity: The rocket car makes the jump right on target with only 1,100 pounds of pressure. If the rocket had the required pressure of 1,500 pounds, the car would have over shot the landing target and crashed into the parked vehicles.

Revealing: In the scene where Cully injects Sonny in his back, you can see that just just after he pushes the plunger, the spring mechanism moves on the inside of the syringe. He is not actually injecting Sonny, but the needle retracts on a spring loaded mechanism into the syringe.

Continuity: In the opening credits, we see Hooper putting on a pair of bulky hip pads and a back brace - the kind that wraps around your waist. He then puts on a pair of tight leather pants, but in the following shot as he is putting on his watch there is no brace whatsoever. There's no possibility that the brace was hidden under his pants; in a later scene the brace is visible even though he is wearing the same tight pants.

Audio problem: Right after Hooper says "Bye bye, nice officer." and activates the rocket system, the cop driving beside them screams "Great God almighty.". Watch the cop's rear view mirror when he yells that - it's a completely different person in the mirror and his mouth doesn't move at all, much less yell "Great God almighty." But when he calls "Headquarters. never mind", on the radio, the original cop is shown again.

Continuity: When they hook the cable to the back on the motorcycle cop, as he drives away you can see that they've laid out soft dirt for his fall. The dirt is darker than the rest of the dirt on the side of the highway and it ends at exactly the full length of the cable.
