Factual error: The movie largely takes place in California during the 1990s. California's mandatory seat belt law went into effect 1/01/86. When Mickey was driving Kyd to the cemetery, they were not wearing seat belts. Also, Kyd was 8 years old at the time. Although legally permitted to ride in the front, it is advised that kids sit in the back seat for safety. Considering Lyla was recently killed when a driver ran a stop sign, Mickey should have been more concerned for Kyd's safety as a passenger. (01:12:58 - 01:15:05)
Factual error: The New Jersey license plate (L928 : 68FT) did not have the proper format (too many numbers/letters and wrong color). NJ standard plates have a letter followed by two numbers, an emblem, then three letters. NJ plates are yellow/gold reflective at the top, fading to white at the bottom; the Jeep's plate was all white (although the plate holder was buff colored at the top and covered up "New Jersey").

Deliberate mistake: The "Sixth Street Coffee" surveillance video footage of Zara disarming the barista's determined ex-boyfriend was different from the actual event when shown on Audrey's cell phone (recorded from TV news). The most obvious difference was that Zara never held the gun with both hands behind her and making a circular motion over her head before aiming at the man she had kicked to the floor.

Other mistake: Grace Lewis shot a man in the head when he was standing less than three feet from her, but Grace did not get any blood splatter on her face or elsewhere. Neither did George Clements, who was standing near both of them. (01:15:03)
Other mistake: Narrating, Ringo said "Let me be clear. I never steal from people who don't deserve it." He was in a bank's safety deposit room, which was full of hundreds (if not thousands) of safety deposit boxes. Ringo was selecting specific boxes from among those along the wall, but he couldn't know whose boxes they were. (00:02:44)
Continuity mistake: The amount and color intensity (redness) of the blood on General Ford's facial cuts (nose bridge, cheek, forehead), as well as their precise locations, are not consistent and some° of healing appear to be chronologically out of order (e.g, freshly bled cut, scar, freshly bled cut). (00:57:32 - 00:59:34)
Factual error: Before Tom landed in the puddle, there was water dripping or it was raining on it, but it wasn't raining when he was on the rooftops. After Tom landed, the water drops/rain suddenly stopped. Even if the water drops were from earlier rain running off the roof or other parts of the building, they would not be hitting the whole way across the puddle or that far away from the edge of the building.
