Factual error: In the chase down the hill, in Cuba, there is an office with a sign "Alcaldia" (City Hall in Spanish). In Cuba the local government office is called "Poder Popular" (People's Power). (02:12:50)
Continuity mistake: When Mike is driving the yellow Hummer through the shanty town at the end, the side-view mirrors are broken off several times. When the car comes to a rest the mirrors are intact. (02:13:25 - 02:16:10)
Continuity mistake: After driving through the shanty village, the cracks in the Humvee's window disappear. (02:13:40 - 02:14:55)
Other mistake: When driving through the shanty village huts are exploding nowhere near where the vehicle is driving. (02:14:15)
Continuity mistake: In the final steeplechase scene, with the Hummer and the truck barrelling through the drug-shacks, you can see the Hummer hit the same shack, with a black barrel sitting on top of it, 3 times (at least). Twice from the same angle, and once from another. (02:14:30)
Factual error: Near the end of the movie, right after they arrive at Guantanamo Bay and Smith fires both of his remaining bullets, Tapia puts him TMP SMG and you hear a hammer being cocked. The TMP has a internal striker much similar to Glock, so you wouldn't hear anything. (02:16:35)
Factual error: When Syd throws the pistol to detonate the landmine, nobody in the nearby vicinity seems to be injured except one 'bad guy' despite the fact that many modern anti-personnel mines project shrapnel to a radius of 30 meters. (02:17:35)
Visible crew/equipment: In the last scene of the movie where Mike and Marcus are both in Marcus's "new" pool, as soon as the pool collapses into the ocean, you can see in the background a crew member standing there as if he was there to "break" the pool and in a quick shot back to where the pool was, he is gone. (02:20:35)
Continuity mistake: In the chase scene with Syd and Lowry, Lowry's Ferrari has silver brake calipers in a close up shot, but in a following close up they are a different style and red. The rims are entirely different as well. The scene is filmed with two different Ferraris. The original car is a 575M (red calipers), the other a 550 (silver calipers).
Revealing mistake: In the highway chase scene, when the car's been shot from the outside, you can see that there is only one person inside.
Continuity mistake: After the pool incident, Mike's face appears in shade or full sun depending on the angle.
Continuity mistake: When Mike and Marcus are running from the Miami Bank in pursuit of one of the bad guys, Mike's pant leg rises and you see he has on white socks. In the next scene the bad guy and Mike are struggling on a train, once again Mike's pant leg rises, but this time he has on black socks.
Revealing mistake: In the morgue scene where Will Smith and Martin are checking out the "fat does" for evidence, Will asks Martin to check a coffin for clues. As Martin looks through the coffin there is a shot of money that he finds inside the casket. If you look closely at this shot, the top bill in the bundle of hundreds reads "to be used for motion pictures only."
Suggested correction: May have been fixed in the DVD - I couldn't see anything untoward.
Continuity mistake: During the Hummer chase near the end, the road goes from being dry to wet to dry again.
Continuity mistake: In the Cadillac chasing the mortuary van, as they break through the fence gate heading towards the railroad tracks for few seconds the Cadillac has a front license plate bracket, most noticeable when the water tower is directly in the background. The rest of the chase, it doesn't.
Factual error: In the final Cuba scene they fly from Miami to Cuba but nowhere near Guantanamo yet they drive just a few minutes out of town to the base. GTMO is 520 air miles from Miami and 520 from Havana.
Audio problem: In the scene where Mike and Marcus are in the pink house, Marcus says "you got to call yourself the devil in his house?" his mouth doesn't match what he's saying.
Continuity mistake: After the pool collapses, Mike's arm changes position between being in a lowered position in the wide angle shots and extended in the close-up shot where he says, "Very funny!"
Other mistake: During the chase of the semi, there is a shot of the car being driven by Will Smith where you can see that the car is slanted upwards in the front end & could not possibly be driven in reality.
Continuity mistake: Right after the semi is first shown chasing the black Suburban you can see a considerable amount of steam/smoke coming from the Suburban's engine compartment, but none later in the chase scene.
