Other: Shortly after Nick takes off with T. he is heading for a truck from which a pallet with paper is being unloaded. The pallet blocks the whole space between the truck and the building, but when the camera angle changes to the other side, truck and pallet are shifted away from the building that there is enough room for Nick's van to zip through.

Revealing: Nick sprays T.'s eyes with mace, but a few seconds later, when they approach a red light at full speed, T. opens his eyes wide and they are not even red.
Factual error: On their way through the desert Nick and T. cross the Arizonian border. Shortly after that you see Joshua trees left and right. Joshua trees, at least in such abundance, are only found in Joshua Tree National Park, which lies in California.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where T. is balanced on the railing and Nick says 'I think I can open the door' there is a reflection of a crew member in the window next to Nick's head.
Other: In the scene where T. is balanced on the railing and you see Nick's reflection in the window his mouth is moving while only T. is talking.
Continuity: In the scene where the hillbilly is chasing Nick and T, T tells Nick that the five dollars he gave the waitress was the last he had, where in fact what he gave the waitress was a one dollar bill.
Continuity: When Nick and T. talk after their fight outside the desert diner, the dirt on T.'s hair keeps changing.
Continuity: At the gas station with the hillbilly, the gas nozzle that Nick puts in his car when he is thinking of his wife is first red, then black, and then just silver.
Continuity: When T. has robbed a gas station, the hillbilly that owns the gas station breaks one of the mirrors of the car with a shotgun blast, and he even smashes the back window of the car. But when they are driving off there is one shot where the mirror is miraculously back in a perfect condition while the back window is still broken. In all later scenes the mirror is dangling down.
Plot hole: The policeman survives a frontal crash into the hillbilly's truck at full speed without as much a scratch.
Continuity: When the hillbilly shoots by mistake at the police car the windshield suffers four or five neat bullet holes in a circle. When the guy looks through the windshield there is one big round hole.
Continuity: When the two criminals are chasing Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence on the highway, they pull up beside them and the white criminal throws his cigarette at Tim Robbins, but in the next scene he has the cigarette back in his mouth.
Visible crew/equipment: Before Nick and T. rob the convenience store for two flashlights, you see a crowd of crew members reflected in left side of the window right after Nick runs into the toy racks outside the store.
Continuity: When Nick tries to open the door to his company he enters a four-digit code. When he tries again he presses only three keys.
Factual error: Visible lasers are never used as a security feature.
Visible crew/equipment: When the security guard gets out of the elevator he does some fancy tricks with his torch. When you look in slow motion you see the pivot that keeps the torch in place.
Continuity: Before Nick and T. check in at the Royal hotel there is an outside shot where there are no railings on the balcony walls. However, in all later shots there are railings.
Continuity: In one outside shot T. is balanced on the rooftop railing, which means that they have a penthouse room. However, from the first shot of the hotel it is clear that the 'penthouse' floor is only a utility floor.
Continuity: After Nick and T. have checked in at the hotel Nick goes down to the bar to get drunk. On the counter in front of him there are five glasses in equal distance in a straight row, but when the camera angle changes the row is not straight any more and one glass is moved away from the others.
Continuity: When Danielle sits down next to Nick at the bar her curly hair is hanging loose over her temples. When they drink her hair is gelled back in a rather strange way.
