Tail Sting (2001)

Continuity mistake: The beginning of the movie is set in Australia, but the driver of the van is on the left side, instead of the right. However, when the van pulls over and he gets out, the shot is flipped to fix this, but the next angle of the back of the van isn't flipped and shows the left door open. The movie was shot in the U.S.
