Fun to spot - In the scene where Eddie Murphy is fighting the big guy, after a while he says, "I know a bitch named Della who hit harder than you." Here, he is referring to Della Reese, whom he fought with in Harlem Nights. See more...

Mistake Continuity: When Claude and Ray are first put in jail, Sheriff Warren Pike's cut is straight up and down. At the end of the movie the scar is at an angle.

Mistake Continuity: When Eddie Murphy and Martin are going to bed in the retirement home, Eddie Murphy tells Martin Lawrence that he's going to put his wet sheets on him when he's sleeping. If you look closely Martin starts laughing really hard, he's not supposed to.

Mistake Revealing: In the scene where Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy are arguing about the loss of the appeal and Eddie Murphy calls Martin Lawrence "soft", watch as Martin Lawrence swings the first punch of the fight, his fist misses Eddie Murphy's face. This is even more obvious in slow motion.

Mistake Continuity: When Claude & Ray first set off in the car, Ray's shirt is un-buttoned when the camera is pointing from Claude to Ray, then it's buttoned when the camera switches, this continues to happen throughout the scene.

Mistake Continuity: When Ray and Claude first enter the diner, there is nothing on the door. Later in the scene, the woman asks them if they can read so well how come they missed the sign on the door that says "No Coloreds Allowed"? The sign wasn't there when they first came in and it's not there when they leave.

Mistake Factual error: As Eddie's character is fighting the big inmate over the cornbread, Eddie falls over, revealing a yellow patch on the bottom of his boot. That patch is the trademark of a Vibram sole. Vibram started using the yellow patch in 1965. The scene takes place in the 1920s.

Mistake Other: When the prisoners take a break from digging the ditch, Bernie Mac sits down to talk to Martin. When Martin looks at Eddie in confusion while Bernie Mac is still talking to him, you can see Bernie Mac sitting down below Eddie.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scenes where Can't Get Right hits home runs, if you look at the bottom of the screen, you can see smoke coming from the machine used to launch the baseball.

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": When Martin Lawrence is standing outside the car while waiting on the current warden to pick up the new warden, he's looking at the different styles that have come to pass while he was in jail. It it supposedly the 70's but when Martin looks at the guy with the stereo he hears Maxwell's "Fortunate" on the stereo. This song came out in 1998, not in the 70's.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Claude and Ray enter the "WHITE ONLY" diner, they enter leaving the door open. When the waitress asks them if they saw the sign, they look back and the door is closed. When they get ready to leave, the door is open again.

Mistake Continuity: When Ray and Cloude are talking in the car you see Claude looking straight forward while Ray is talking to him, but when it switches to Ray´s potition then you see Claude looking straight at Ray and then he starts to talk.
