Revealing: When Johnny enters Sauvage's party, after he broke into his building, a waiter gives him a glass of champagne, which he drops. When a second glass is given to him, the pre-made crack on the paw of the glass is visible, prior to Johnny breaking that glass.

Continuity: When Bough is telling Johnny and Pegasus about the two criminals working for Sauvage, he calls Vendetta "Klaus", and indeed, the screen in front of them shows this. However, the end credits put his name as "Carlos".

Revealing: In the room where the intruder flips the main power switch, the light in that room starts to go off BEFORE he flips the switch and the indicator turns red. Watching the DVD in slow motion helps to notice this.

⇓

Plot hole: At the end of the film, Trevor McDonald reads the news and says "the spy, who we cannot name for legal reasons..." Yet on screen, one of the newspapers that flashes up (I think it's The Times), has a headline congratulating Johnny English by name. He's not going to be a secret spy for long if they reveal that.

Factual error: Sauvage's headquarters are supposed to be in the City of London, but in one shot scanning from the top to the bottom of the building, a road sign saying "Canada Square" is visible. This is on Canary Wharf, in the Docklands.

Continuity: When Johnny and Bough are talking after Agent One died, you see that Bough's coat is pulled together, but when it shows the backside of him, it's apart. Then it's back to normal again.

Other: When Johnny asks about the tattoo on the archbishop's butt, the subtitles say "Do you or do you you [sic] not have tattooed on your bottom 'Jesus is coming, look busy'?".

⇓

Factual error: All monarchs of England are crowned in Westminster Abbey; nearly every monarch since Edward II has been crowned while sitting on the coronation chair with a large stone known as the Stone of Scone (or Stone of Destiny) resting beneath it. This stone was stolen from the Scots in 1496 and given back to them 500 years later, in 1996, but will presumably be loaned back to the English for future coronations. The building in which Sauvage's coronation was being held was not Westminster Abbey, the throne he was sitting in was not the coronation chair, and the Stone of Destiny was not resting under the chair. Trivial points, perhaps, but factual errors all the same. They could have least have made them look the same.
