Captain Bowen: Remember when you were a kid and you'd hold your breath when you run past a grave yard? Leave that man alone.
At one point during the movie, Max visits a storage yard. The name of this yard is "Gognitti Storage". This is a reference to Vinnie Gognitti, who was an important character in the video game series. See more...

Factual error: In the film, Sgt. Jack Lupino is depicted as a United States Marine Corp Sargent. However, when Max is watching an interview with Lupino it shows him wearing either a Gunnery Sargent or Master Sargent chevrons. Not only that, but the chevrons happen to be upside down. No US Marine would ever make a mistake like that.
Factual error: As the vehicle drives on a street of 'downtown New York', on the right side of the scene as we pass store fronts, one can see the familiar symbol of the American Automobile Association - except it has CAA - Canadian AA. Canadian viewers, especially those from Toronto who recognise the city where this movie was shot, will no doubt smile at this oversight. It's early in the movie - before all the action really starts, I believe before Donal Logue's character is killed.
Visible crew/equipment: When Max meets a man in a car who invites him to jump in, they go to the place where Natasha was killed. When the car drives in the alley and we see it from the top of the building (the camera angle), the camera filming them is visible in the reflection on the car's roof (it's mounted on a rod hanging high above the alley).
Continuity: When Max is being beaten by Natasha's sister, she gives him a good whack to the right side of his face, leaving him bloody. But in the scenes to follow there is no mark or blood on his face.
Other: When Max Payne is in front of the "NYPD" station, and then gets in a car with his partner, they drive down the street for a split second and you see a TTC (Toronto Transit Commission - Ontario Canada) wheel transit bus, and Canada Post Mail delivery truck in the background to the driver side of car. The TTC bus is red, white black and the mail truck is red, white and blue.
Other: In the final gunshot sequence on the rooftop, Max Payne raises the gun up to reveal a slo-mo sequence. The handgun is coated in ice/snow. How long was he holding the gun in the air in the snowy weather?
Continuity: When Max first sees Michelle's body, some of her hair is hanging off the edge of the bed. A couple of shots later, all of her hair is on the bed.
Continuity: When Max and his old partner are having an argument in the rain outside the friend's car, the car's windshield wipers are at first at an angle. When Max walks angrily away, the wipers are now lower and horizontal.
