Continuity mistake: In the beginning when Su kicks Christophe over the couch, Christophe moves from the back of the couch closer to the step when Su places his foot over Christophe's throat. (00:06:15)

Mortug

Factual error: If they used Liquid Nitrogen to freeze the safe door and crack it open, they would certainly not have opened the door by pulling on it with bare hands/flimsy leather gloves, without leaving half of the skin on their hands behind. (00:09:30 - 00:10:40)

Visible crew/equipment: At the airport when Sona says to Ling "We may have a problem," we can see the movie crew reflected at least twice in her sunglasses before they enter the car. (00:18:05)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Fait spots the Navigator following him, he speeds up in his car weaving in and out of traffic. He comes up to a mini van in the right hand lane and then goes into the left lane where you see a side panel van about 20 feet in front of him in the left lane. The camera angle changes and the left hand lane is now seen with no cars in it, which allows him to speed up even more. (00:28:02)

MCKD

Continuity mistake: Right after the side panel van disappears in the left hand lane when Fait is trying to outrun the navigator, the camera angle changes again and you see Fait turning back into the right hand lane. In the left lane the side panel van has reappeared. You see a police car directly in front of the van. The camera angle changes yet again, and you see an overhead shot of Fait passing a different car in the left lane before seeing the police car. (00:28:07)

MCKD

Other mistake: When DMX makes a backflip on the wall being chased by the dog, you can see that it's fake. He's walking about 7 feet up, and the dog is walking the wall like he's walking on the floor. And suddenly when the dog falls, the bags appear out of nowhere. (00:29:35)

Dragon

Continuity mistake: DMX uses his Porsche to slide a dumpster into the vehicle following him, staying in contact right up to the impact, so by rights the back of his car ought to be wrecked, but in all the scenes afterwards when we see his Porsche, it doesn't have a scratch on it. (00:31:30)

Jon Sandys

Continuity mistake: When DMX is in prison with Jet Li and Caldwell is having breakfast, he cuts a piece of meat and sticks it on his fork. The camera cuts to DMX and when it cuts back Caldwell has now a piece of something that isn't meat (looks like a piece of pancake). (00:40:00)

Continuity mistake: When Fait goes to see Jump in prison, you see Fait almost go after him when he tells Fait to make another little girl. Jump is sitting in his chair and he brings his cigar up to his mouth when he says "Drama". The camera angle changes and the cigar is no longer near his mouth. The camera angle changes again and the cigar is back in front of his mouth. (00:42:56)

MCKD

Continuity mistake: Right after Su kicks the personal guard of Jump in the jail cell, you see Jump put his cigar back in his mouth and start to open his newspaper, but when the camera angle changes the cigar is no longer in his mouth. (00:43:26)

MCKD

Continuity mistake: When Fait throws his bag over the barbed wire fence on the roof, it lands on its side. After Fait and his partner jump onto the roof he walks over to the bag and it is now sitting right side up. (00:51:46)

MCKD

Continuity mistake: When Fait's partner goes to jump over the barbed wire fence, you see a pole that is directly under him. The camera angle changes and as you see him jumping over the fence the pole is no longer there. (00:51:47)

MCKD

Continuity mistake: When DMX jumps into the building through the window, you can see that the view outside isn't real but only a photo/visualisation. (00:54:55)

Continuity mistake: When DMX takes the quad, he's almost on the other side of the street until the two guys notice he took the quad. They should've heard it as soon as DMX started the engine. (01:01:05)

Dragon

Revealing mistake: During the cage fight, Su breaks a man's arm. We can see the break, however we can also see his real arm hidden under his shirt. There is a big lump under the fake arm. (01:01:30)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: Right before Su throws the karate little person, you see one of the bad guys coming up behind him. The camera angle changes and the bad guy disappeared. (01:02:56)

MCKD

Visible crew/equipment: When Fait is being chased through an alley, a motorbike jumps over some boxes and a van. We can see the ramp which the motorbike jumps from at least two times. First from an above shot when the motorbike jumps, and from inside a police car when it stops right in front of it. This ramp wasn't visible when Fait drove by. (01:04:00)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When the police surround the parking garage, you see them, via a television which is being watched by Fait's daughter, check and then wave through their blockade a dark gray car with a sunroof. The camera angle changes to a live scene of the parking garage, and you see the police waving through the same car through their blockade again. (01:11:17)

MCKD

Continuity mistake: When Fait's daughter gets the key to the van, she drives the van in the warehouse crashing into a number of items and you see the front of the van getting damaged. When we see the front of the van again right after Jump gets killed in prison, the front of the van shows no damage. (01:12:03)

MCKD

Fait: You read Chinese?
Archie: No, but I know "cop" in every language.

More quotes from Cradle 2 the Grave

Trivia: The last conversation between Tom Arnold and that big guy is an obvious tribute to the conversation between the same two actors at the end of Exit Wounds. They even mention the latter in the former.

More trivia for Cradle 2 the Grave

Question: Why does the guy in the prison have so many assistants, and live in complete royalty compared to the other inmates? I've watched it over and over but still can't understand why.

Answer: Because he is connected on the outside. Money and infulence can give you a much easier life in prison, though this movie greatly exaggerated the fact.
