Continuity mistake: When one of the bad guys spots Jackie and his men lying on the container he pulls up his gun holding it with both hands. When it cuts from the bad guys point of view we see him holding it with one hand only. When it cuts again he is holding it with both hands. (00:16:50)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When the first man is about to jump off the "Sea Horizon" we see him leap. However he is standing a couple of feet away from the edge of the deck. The camera angle makes it difficult to see this, but we are just led to believe he is jumping. When it cuts he actually jumps. (00:17:05)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: On the "Sea Horizon" when Jackie says "I'll cover you" to his companion, you see his companion jumping over board while holding onto his machine gun. When it cuts to him just going over board his machine gun is hanging down. (00:17:25)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jackie and a bad guy are pointing their guns at each other, Jackie turns his gun against the guy's gun. The distance of their guns and Jackie's gun's angle change between the shots. (00:18:20)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Jackie jumps off the ship trying to hit the escaping boat, he hits a man on the boat and they both fall into the water. When it cuts to the impact between Jackie and the man, it is obvious they both jump from the escaping boat. In fact we can actually see Jackie standing on the boat before he 'falls' into the water. (00:19:20)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Jackie and Nicole are walking through the corridor to Hammerstock-Smythe's office they pass by a door right next to his door. However when they enter his office we can see that where the other door actually should be there is a wall instead. (00:21:20)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Watson enters Hammerstock-Smythe's office his badge is hanging outside his jacket. When Jackie hands him the picture of Jai his badge is now under his jacket. (00:21:50)

Mortug

Other mistake: When Jackie meets the boss of the Interpol department in Ireland, he shows everyone some sketches, the child and then a man with a hat. If you watch the picture, it changes from a man with a hat to another man without a hat back to the man with the hat and once again back to the man without the hat. (00:22:10)

Continuity mistake: When Jackie and Watson get to the office and Jackie says "We're partners, we're good together. You need me," we see Watson give some files to a man. The way the man is holding the files differs between shots. (00:23:35)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Jackie picks up the bucket for Watson the angle of the bucket change between the shots. Also Jackie's watch suddenly become visible instead of being hidden under his jacket as in the previous shot. (00:24:40)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: At the office when Jackie is messing with Watson making him believe that people around them are looking at them as a "couple", Jackie switches from kneeling down by Watson, to standing and to kneeling again. (00:24:50)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Watson is about to leave the office and says "It's your fault, that is" to Jackie, a man is standing behind Watson leaning against a board. When it cuts the man is gone. (00:25:00)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Jackie and Nicole get to Watson's house the sun is shining. When they get out of the car the sun is gone. The sun appears and disappears during the shots outside Watson's front door. (00:25:50)

Mortug

Visible crew/equipment: When Jackie and Nicole gets to Watson's front door you can see a crew member reflected in the door. (00:25:55)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Jackie and Nicole gets to Watson's house, Nicole hugs Charlotte and some of Charlotte's hair hangs over her left shoulder. When it cuts the hair is behind her shoulder. (00:26:20)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Watson throws the tray with chops onto the table, the pieces of chops change position during the shots. Also there is a knife down to the right of the screen that change position during the shots. (00:26:50)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Jackie is pursuing Giscard, Giscard jumps over a table on which a menu is standing. When Jackie jumps over the table the menu is gone. (00:30:10)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Giscard is running away from Jackie he jumps over a fence and a table where two men are sitting. At that point the seat under the umbrella by the fence is empty. When Jackie jumps over the fence a woman is suddenly sitting there. (00:30:10)

Mortug

Audio problem: At one point in the movie Jackie flips over top of a table and says, "Sorry!", but his mouth isn't moving. (00:30:15)

Deliberate mistake: When Giscard jumps over the bikes you can see the bikes are stacked closed to each other. When Jackie 'runs' over them the distance between the bikes has increased. This was probably done to make the 'running' more natural looking. (00:30:25)
