Continuity mistake: In the opening scenes while lost on her way to Sandringham, Diana drives a Porsche 911 with licence plate G580SGT. Later when she stops by the scarecrow the same car's plate has changed to J548LRP, it remains so for the rest of the movie. J548LRP was an actual plate used on a Mercedes SL500 that Princess Diana once owned.
Continuity mistake: An exterior view of the window in the building across the street that the Virtuoso plans on shooting from shows it is comprised of three square panes stacked vertically. When the Virtuoso is inside behind the window, it is one large vertical pane. (00:10:27)
Continuity mistake: When Jackson is shot with shotgun he "flies" across the bathroom, hits the wall, and falls into the tub on his right side with his left leg on top of the tub and leaning to right. Next shot he is on his back. (00:26:25)
Deliberate mistake: Driving to Malibu, Knox's truck is going the wrong direction on the road - the solid double yellow lines are on the passenger's side and the solid white line is on the driver's side. (The driver is on the left side of the vehicle.) There is no solid white line on the opposite side, indicating it is a one-direction road. The truck quickly crosses over the yellow lines and goes off-screen, after which it can be seen there's a wide paved shoulder that tapers to the edge near the intersection. (00:03:20)
Character mistake: At conclusion of Katrina's interview with April, a banner on the bottom of the screen says "Auhtor Katrina shares her real Christmas story". (01:18:48)
Other mistake: Jim's truck is shown parked in a space in front of the Border Patrol building, and the spaces have those cement barriers that keep vehicles from pulling in too far (in this case, yellow ones). Then when Jim later pulls out of the space, he puts the truck in "Drive" and goes forward with no consequence. (00:25:06 - 00:27:11)
Continuity mistake: While waiting for her audition, Finley's blouse is loosely tied above the waist, with two flaps hanging like a bow. When Finley gets onto the platform, the knot is tied tighter in the front and the two flaps overlap (look like one), hanging similar to a short tie. (00:17:05)
Continuity mistake: When Tony lies dead, his head is facing right or left between shots, no continuity whatsoever despite Maria not touching him.
Factual error: After Mohamedou's torture scenes, the CO of GITMO holds up a letter from the Dep. Of Defense in Mo's face, stating that his mother had been detained. In the bottom left corner of the letter, it is written as "Department of Defence", which is the UK spelling. (01:41:27)
Continuity mistake: When watching the water retreat after Sisu falls, a view from behind the characters shows Noi sitting on Tuk Tuk. The very next cut shows Tong picking her up from the ground. (01:18:01)
Continuity mistake: Whilst Tae-ho and Bubs are talking at the poker game, when Bubs say "Our money manager ran away", Tae-ho has his hands raised up to his face, then begins to lower them. In the next shot, his hands are suddenly raised near his face again. (00:19:18)
Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Krementz talks with Zeffirelli while he's taking a bath and asks her to close the bathtub curtain, the cigarette he previously had in the mouth disappears in the next shot when Mrs. Krementz closes the curtain.
Continuity mistake: Venus' starts off with a burger in her left hand which immediately changes to a watermelon segment, while a cookie has now appeared in her right. She puts the watermelon down only for it to reappear in her left hand when the camera changes angle. The cookie has now disappeared. The camera switches again to show that the watermelon is no longer in her left whilst the cookie has returned to her right... which is swiftly replaced by her half-eaten burger. (01:07:00)
Continuity mistake: While Semmi is telling Akeem about their visits to the nightclubs, there are shots from the original movie with some women they meet. When the "woman" in red tells them she's going to tear them apart, Semmi's wearing a patterned shirt, tie, and blazer when he spits his drink. Two shots later (new footage), Semmi's shirt collar style changes, as well as the pattern on his shirt and blazer. (00:11:15)
Factual error: There is a calendar in a scene towards the end of the movie which shows the date as Wednesday April 30, 2021 but the calendar does not align to the days of a real calendar. That date will be a Friday. (01:25:54)
Revealing mistake: The jaguar near the start jumps onto the bar and prowls along it. It knocks over one glass with some force, which shatters, but the second glass is barely tapped by its foot and it smashes to bits too, when it should just have been pushed out of the way.
Continuity mistake: In the desert digging, the Nova's trunk is open, then shut. (01:42:00 - 01:45:00)
Continuity mistake: When Paul comes to the table three chairs are free, when his father comes there is only one chair free - the third chair is suddenly missing. (00:49:30)
