Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Cobra pulls his gun out and sets it on the table, he opens the pizza box, eats a piece, then pulls his gun out again to clean it.

Mistake Continuity: In the sedan/pickup chase, both of Cobra's headlights are shot out at the start with pinpoint accuracy. A minute later as the cars race down the freeway, the holes where Cobra's headlights used to be are filled with black plastic discs.

Mistake Continuity: When Cobra and Ingrid are being chased by the brown sedan and the pickup truck, at one point while the truck is behind him, the guy in the passenger seat puts three bullets into the left-hand corner of Cobra's car boot. Throughout the rest of the chase, these bullet holes are nowhere to be seen.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Cobretti is talking with the Hispanic guy for the first time (after parking his car) he rips off his shirt revealing a black wire attached to his chest using duct tape.

Mistake Continuity: In the opening scene, a pistol is shown while Stallone does a voice-over. The pistol has the custom Cobra grips on it. If you zoom in on the DVD version, you can see the words "9mm conversion unit" on the slide. Later in the movie, while Stallone cleans the gun (the one with the custom Cobra grips) in his apartment, he removes the magazine and it shows .45 Glaser ammo in the magazine.

Mistake Other: In the scene where Stallone is at the shooting range, after he leaves the morgue, when he pulls out his gun, you can see a target's reflection in a glass pane in front of Stallone. He points the gun at the target and shoots, but the glass is in the way.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Cobra is preparing his weapons in the hotel room, you see him take out three grenades from a bag that is lying on the table inside the room. As the camera changes shot during the scene, you see Cobra remove the third grenade for a second time, even though in the previous shot he has already taken it out of the bag.

Mistake Continuity: At the end of the super market scene when Cobretti shoots the bad guy, the slide on his gun locks open after his last shot indicating that the gun is empty. Before he puts the gun in his waistband you see that the slide is now forward without Cobretti doing anything to it.

Mistake Continuity: When Sly drives the truck around a corner you can see two drivers in the cab - he's supposed to be escaping in the truck by himself....
