Nothing to Lose (1997)

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. (00:14:20)

Other mistake: When T. jumps through the rear window of Nick's van he falls on the street but rolls the wrong way, against any laws of physics. (01:21:05)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Revealing mistake: When Nick tells T. that he wants to give the money back they start fighting. Nick's sleeve gets almost ripped off, but before this happens you can see that the sleeve is stitched on rather loosely. (01:21:25)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Continuity mistake: When Nick and T. chase the two robbers to get their money back there are two tidy wads of notes stuck under the right sun visor. At a wider camera angle the money isn't there, but when it cuts back there are even three wads, and the middle one is rather crumpled. (01:17:45)

Other mistake: When Nick comes back to the hotel room after his encounter with Danielle and the elevator stops, he sees the two robbers walking by (not even looking at the open elevator) and enter another elevator which has stopped a moment later. Since this is the top floor of the hotel (as can be seen later) the logic elevator control wouldn't have sent another cabin to this level as Nick's was already on the way up. (01:15:00)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Continuity mistake: 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. (01:06:55 - 01:15:45)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Continuity mistake: 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. (01:06:55 - 01:15:45)

Other mistake: 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. (00:15:35)

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. (00:15:25)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Continuity mistake: When Nick gets back to the hotel room the robbers have left T. sitting on a chair, precariously balanced on the railing of the balcony, held back only by a bedsheet whose other end is stuck between the balcony doors. Only a small tip of the bedsheet sticks out right next to the spherical doorknob, but a few shots later there is a close-up where a larger tip sticks out and the doorknob is flat. (01:15:20 - 01:16:25)

Continuity mistake: 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. (01:09:45)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Continuity mistake: 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. (01:08:20)

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. (01:03:00)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Continuity mistake: 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. (00:59:45)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

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. (00:54:15)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Continuity mistake: 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. (00:24:55)

Plot hole: The policeman survives a frontal crash into the hillbilly's truck at full speed without as much a scratch. (00:24:40)

Continuity mistake: When Nick and T. talk after their fight outside the desert diner, the dirt on T.'s hair keeps changing. (00:20:00)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Revealing mistake: 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. (00:13:35)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Other mistake: 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.
