Why would any of the information on the French inspector's computer be in English? [In actuality, the computer the detective uses probably is in French, but is shown in English so the audience will be able to understand. Similar to how in many films, foreign characters will speak English to one another. They aren't really supposed to be speaking English, they are simply shown speaking English to avoid the over-usage of subtitles and any confusion from the audience.]

When Lai shoots her father at the end, we see the blood pump through his shirt, yet there is no bullet hole in the shirt. For this to happen, the bullet would have had to gone through his chest and been stopped by the shirt. [Since the kind of ammunition used is unknown, the bullet may have shattered or went all the way through while being slowed down by the body. The shreds or the bullet could have broken a rib, rupture an intercostal artery (done by bullet, shreds, or rib) and come to a complete halt in the rib or tissue, which can't be seen, since the guy is wearing a shirt. Bullet stuck in body, no hole in the shirt, guy is bleeding. Anatomically possible, hence not a mistake.]

Inspector Tarconi refers to Frank's car as a BMW 765, yet later Frank refers to it as a BMW 735. In the E38 style BMW 7 series, there are 728, 730, 735, 740, and 750 models. Only the 740 and 750 sold new in North America and all the models sold in Europe. The 740 and 750 are almost never seen in Europe for fuel reasons. There is no such car as a BMW 765, in any body series. [Inspector Tarconi doesn't ever say the BMW is a 765, and if he did it would be a character mistake. Besides, there would be no way of identifying the model beyond it being a long-wheel base 7 series, since Frank had the model designation removed.]

In the scene where the transporter opens the bag in the trunk to give the girl some juice, he cuts a small slit on the tape covering her mouth, throughout parts of the film when the girl has her mouth taped the slit appears and disappears. [After he delievers the girl, they exchange her tape with a new one. When Frank takes Lai and her chair home, he had to drive the complete 250 km (4-5 hours) back. He surely made a stop to get refreshments and had to cut the tape again.]

During the initial chase scene when Frank jumps his BMW over the narrow bridge onto the transport, the number of cars changes on the transport from three cars when it is going under the bridge, to two cars when Frank attempts the jump. [There are three cars on the truck the whole time (car, space (then BMW), car, car). If you watch the jump-sequenze in slow motion you can see the tip of the third car's hood. When he later releases the cars to block the police, he releases the two cars behind him.]

In the scene where the transporter and the girl are attacked at the beach house they both fall into a cistern. In the next scene we see both characters utilizing scuba gears (conveniently hidden underwater) complete with fins. A few minutes later after they had reached the ground,the girl is wearing her shoes again. How did she manage to hold onto them? [We do not see the shoes on, she wears the fins the entire time.]

In the scene where Lai downloads Wall Street's information off the policeman's computer, the very last button she hits on the keyboard says "sleep". Later on, the policeman hits the button "wake up". However, if the film is set in France, why are the commands on the keyboard written in English? ["Sleep" and "Wake up" are used all over the world on keyboards, including countries like Germany have the same thing. However if you take a closer look when he presses "Wake up" you can see a "Verr Num" key, which is the number lock key on a french keyboard.]

When Jason Statham is getting his house shot up, why didn't the shooters use the bazooka first? If they used it first they would have killed Jason. They had the opportunity and didn't take advantage of it. [They did in fact use the rocket launcher at least twice before they started to shoot the house. The final rocket was meant to make sure he was dead. Plus the shooters wanted to have some fun. This is more of a character mistake then a script one.]

In the scene where Frank is fighting the bad guys in the mechanic room he ends up jumping through the window with a guy he uses to shield himself from the enemy fire. He lands in the water and the bad guys throw a barrel of oil and shoot it causing a fire on the surface of the water. As Frank is submerged under water he grabs the guy he went into the water with and takes a breath of air in his mouth. If the guy was under water and already dead, how would there still be oxygen left inside him? How would someone's mouth be completely closed when they die, and wouldn't water go through the dead guy's nose anyway? [Your lungs hold roughly 5 qts of air, but if you blow out as hard as you possibly can, you can still only expel at most 4 qts of air. There is always some air left in the lungs to maintain equilibrium. This is why the Heimlich Maneuver works, you push out that last bit of air to dislodge the blockage. This is why there was still a little air for Frank to get from the recently dead guy. I thought it was a brilliant addition to the movie and showed how resourceful Frank really was.]

During the last transporting scene the semi/eighteen-wheeler with the immigrants inside is shown vigorously swerving from side to side. Shortly thereafter, they open the crate and see that the immigrants are all okay and not injured. Wouldn't, logically, at least some of these people be knocked down and hurt, since they would have been tossed around in the steel cart? [If you watch as the people get out of the container, a few of them collapse onto the floor. This is most obvious if you look to the right of the truck. They may not be as injured as you would expect, but it is an attempt to at least acknowledge they may be injured.]

After Frank returns to the bad guy's house after his BMW blows up, he steals a Mercedes from the garage. He drives through the garage doors, and then through the compound gate without opening either one. As he goes through the compound gate, you see that the grill on the Mercedes is fine, but in the next shot on the road, the grill is hanging down on one side. What caused this? [The grill hanging down on one side is caused by the last door he hits when he speeds out. There are two doors that Frank runs into; the big door is the one that makes the grill off to the side.]

When Frank gets a flat tire on his car, he goes to the boot and takes out a non matching (to what he already has) standard BMW alloy wheel. It cuts to him actually taking the one he's just taken from the boot off the car. Next scene, after he leaves the shop with the drink for Li, his car has the non standard alloy wheel back on. [It appears Frank is at a Gas station/car wash/convenience store. He could have easily asked them to plug the tire, use a can of Fix-A-Flat, or possibly (but unlikely) put a new tire onto the rim.]

Shortly after the bad guys blow up Frank Martin's house, Martin and the girl go to the Wall Street's office to confront him. Frank disarms Wall Street, taking a 1911 .45. Frank makes Wall Street sit at his desk and covers him with the gun. To emphasize a point, Martin cocks the hammer with his thumb. After some discussion, Martin hands the pistol to the girl to cover Wall Street while he searches the office. After a bit the girl gets angry and again cocks the hammer. Anyway, if Frank Martin, obviously a weapons expert, had taken a .45 auto off someone with the intention of possibly using it, he surely would have cycled back the slide to make sure there was a round in the chamber. [At this point in the movie, Frank has almost been killed twice, and his favourite car and house have been destroyed. When he visits Wall Street, the last thing on his mind would be to see if there is a bullet in the chamber. More importantly, this also explains why Wall Street was so relaxed, even though he had a gun pointed at him.]

When Frank and Lai are holding Wall Street at gunpoint in his office, Wall Street calls Frank by his first name, even though Frank never told him. (rule 2: no names) [Seeing as Wall Street was able to send thugs to Frank's house and blow it to Kingdom Come, I think it's safe to say that he did a little research and now knows his name.]

When the containers are being taken somewhere, and the chase and fight scenes begin, there are two containers being taken to wherever they're going. However Frank only rescues one of these containers and drives it away, what about the other container? [If you paid attention to the movie, Frank took out all the other vehicles in the convoy in one form or another. This pretty much left the lone Transport truck, which the police would have no problem pulling over later on down the road.]

After Frank stole the truck, he just drove it off to a secluded location, then the bad guy, who was driving behind him, pulls a gun on him. If Frank was such a professional driver, wouldn't he have checked his rearview mirror sometime to see that he was being followed the whole time? [His rearview mirror was shattered from Wall Street's shotgun fire, so he couldn't watch his back.]

When Frank and the Wall Street guy are fighting in the lorry at the end, Frank is steering the lorry with both of his feet. If he has both of his feet on the steering wheel, then how is he pressing the accelerator? [It is possible that the truck had cruise control that allows it to continue at the set speed without anyone pressing the accelerator.]

After the lead bank robber shoots his fourth partner, blood is splattered on the rear window, but it isn't shattered. How could the blood come out, but the bullet stay in? [It is more than possible for the bullet to have collided with the back of the skull with enough force to spray blood outward, but be deflected either (a) back inside, or (b) outward on a different trajectory that doesn't hit the window.]

How does the pilot of the plane know to greet Frank in English and not French? [Frank greets him in English first, so he responds in kind.]

The choice of BMW was rather poor. On narrow European roads an M5 would have been preferable over a 735i, as it is not only smaller and lighter (much more suitable for frequently narrow French roads), but also much faster and ideal for the work Frank was doing. [This is an opinion, not a mistake.]
