Continuity mistake: At the meeting of the CIA high-ups, Toni Collette says "One of you is behind this", holding the Pandora Box. Notice the man who just spoke before her, with his arm resting on the table. Reverse shot, and the forearm is raised so his hand is on his cheek. (00:08:55)
Continuity mistake: When Donnie Yen snatches the Box from Jane Marke and puts his butt on the table to do some showboating, the old looking guy reaches for his gun very promptly with an angry face right at the beginning, then it cuts to a shot of Donnie doing a silly shrug, and the guy is frozen and befuddled for a second, pulling the gun only later with an even meaner face, that is instantly different at the cut. (00:09:05)
Continuity mistake: When Donnie Yen is at the CIA HQ, at one point he's looking for a way out and jumps back-first on the large desk starting to spin on his back shooting all around himself. In the first shot there's nothing directly under him, but in the aerial shot he's doing the weird breakdance move having one of the desk pads underneath him. (00:09:20)
Continuity mistake: Michael Bisping tackles the CIA agent and they begin a brawl in a room. There's a close-up on Donnie Yen looking at them, but in the next shot he's nowhere to be seen between the open doors - he appears only in a different shot a couple cuts later. (00:10:15)
Continuity mistake: Tony Jaa joins the others outside the CIA building "just in time." Behind him, a cab stops by. The cab appears and disappears between shots, "just" arriving again once he triumphs over his showboating motorcyclist adversary that does wheelies instead of shooting. (00:10:55)
Continuity mistake: After the ski sequence, Xander walks to a bus stop and gets a skateboard from a kid. He grabs it by the front, his hand above the wheel, but in the next shot he's holding it by the side and only then shifts his hand to the front. (00:13:35)
Continuity mistake: When Xander checks the timer that signals 30 seconds to DEFCON-1 alert, in the wide angle he is holding it by the side, in the close-up he has it in his palm, with his fingertips at the top. (00:14:55)
Continuity mistake: When Xander Cage justifies being a cheapskate freebooter to the buxom brunette, he's leaning all the way against the hut, left arm outstretched in the first shot, while in the second shot he's in the middle. (00:16:15)
Continuity mistake: When Xander's Dominican girl wakes up not finding him in bed anymore, she walks to the beaded curtain and opens it. She does it in two separate shots, with her left hand being at the same height of her right in the first shot, coming down from a higher position in the next shot. (00:17:05)
Continuity mistake: When the fake tourist tells Xander "You need a new plan", a guy with a blue tank, khaki pants and a black and white sports bag passes by. Vin Diesel rebuts "I need a new map" and the same guy is passing again, and again. (00:17:40)
Continuity mistake: When Xander plays dumb (and he's a natural at it) with the Dominican SWAT guy who asks him to get on his knees without moving, the guy has his assault rifle pointed straight at him or pointing down depending on the camera angle. (00:18:50)
Continuity mistake: When Xander sighs at the SWAT agent in Santo Domingo, the shadow on his palm in close-up is different compared to the shots before and after. (00:19:05)
Continuity mistake: Ainsley sits down to listen what Xander has to say and puts her hair in a tail that goes in front of her shoulder. At the first cut during the phrase "You know, information like this doesn't have a price" there's an obvious sudden change of position between shots, as shown by the tail that goes down straight in the first shot and is caught in the bathrobe collar in the second. (00:23:40)
Continuity mistake: Ainsley slides towards Xander the data on the 'ghosts', but pulls it back before he can reach it. In the background, a woman is drinking from a cup, but in the next shot she's listening to another person with no cup in sight. (00:25:35)
Continuity mistake: In the dialogue in their retreat in the Philippines Serena Unger with a gun in hand tells Xiang "That's the problem, you forgot the Queen." Between those two shots, the people walking in the background have changed. Same happens when she shoots - with everyone being remarkably unfazed, too. (00:27:40)
Continuity mistake: In the first scene with Becky Clearidge swooning over the protagonist, Vin Diesel's right arm is down his side, then suddenly wide, and so on. (00:29:40)
Continuity mistake: The debris on Tennyson Torch's car changes between shots when he gets out of the car after crashing it into the ATM. (00:33:35)
Continuity mistake: Cage and his group dock at the island in the Philippines and he begins to talk with the guy who asks him what do they want. He begins; "I heard this is a perfect place..." and a girl walks across, leans against the table with the others and puts her drink down. Next shot, the girl is drinking from the same glass she just put down. (00:39:25)
Continuity mistake: XXX is bargaining with the guy at the docks of the hideout in the Caramoan Islands. The guy says "30% off the top" and pulls a lollipop out of his mouth. He is not putting it back even in the following reverse shot when Vin Diesel laughs at him, but there he is after that, with the lolli again in his mouth. Similarly, when Diesel says "Aaaall right, 22 and a half" the guy has his lollipop between the lips, but it's gone in the next shot. (00:39:55)
Continuity mistake: During their first meeting, Xander and Serena hold each other at gunpoint; in fact after a quick switch, they get to a point when Xander has her gun at her head and she has his switchblade at his throat. The blade keeps changing position/angle between shots. (00:46:00)
