Bad Boys mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the two female characters enter the fancy hotel room, they make a point to say they will only be there for a couple of minutes. It is daylight when they go in. The visit is cut short (the one that's supposed to be a few minutes long) because of a gun battle in which one of the women dies and the other escapes. The escaped one gets out through the roof into an evening's sky. There's still light visible, but for a visit that lasts all of 4 minutes, it's far too quick a change. (00:23:00)

Continuity mistake: When Marcus is talking to his wife in bed about having some early morning sex, she gets up and he is leaning on his side. She tells him the kids will be coming any minute and when they do come bursting through the door, Marcus is now under the covers on his back. Given that we heard them approaching, there's no time for him to move. (00:10:25)

Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the car chase scene between the Porsche and the AC Cobra on the runway, a shadow of the camera as well as the boom can be seen just as the Porsche drives between the concrete blocks.

Continuity mistake: In the scene at the beginning of the film, when the villain of the piece shoots Julie's friend, he proceeds to turn the gun on Eddie and shoot him in the leg.

Other mistake: At the very end of the movie Mike has the bad guy down on the ground and he's got his gun in the guys face, we see a shot looking straight up the gun barrel with Smith's eyes over the top of it. If you look at the barrel of the weapon there is a little point of light at the back of the barrel. This is caused by sunlight shining through the firing pin hole in the back of the chamber showing that the gun has no round in the chamber. (01:46:50)

Continuity mistake: When Marcus wakes up towards the beginning of the film, he knocks a Florida snowglobe and some other stuff off the top of his alarm clock. In the next shot, the snowglobe is back on top of the clock. (00:10:00)

Continuity mistake: At the party scene in the early minutes of the movie, the bad guy who calls the two women to his place to "party" is shot once in the knee. Blood spurts and a gaping hole is made in his dark blue pant's leg by the bullet. Seconds earlier, the black hooker is shot three times. Where are the three gaping holes and blood on her solid white dress? Ah, there are none. (00:26:00)

Plot hole: Why was $100,000,000 worth of heroin sitting in the police vault all this time before the bad guys stole it? Wouldn't the DEA have taken possession of the drugs long before that?

Trivia: Pretty much all of the dialog between Martin Lawrence and Will Smith was ad-libbed. The original script can be found here: http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Bad-Boys.html, as Don Simpson and Jerry Buckheimer thought it would be better and more funny.
