Visible crew/equipment: When the trio are driving to the City Deposit/Federal Reserve Bank, in the shot just before hitting the white/red booth, the extended crane arm with the second camera and seated cameraman are visible behind the booth (for filming from opposite angle). (01:03:25)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning, before Karla's robbery of the jewelry store, when the limo turns the corner the front license plate reads "Dent". However, when the limo parks in front of Adriano's its front license plate reads "77". (00:00:25)
Continuity mistake: The guy in the armored car's passenger seat disappears and reappears during the chase.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where they are chasing the armored car in the cement truck the chutes on the truck keep going from being down to folded up. This happens several times in the scene.
Other mistake: When Bogomil gets shot two bullets are fired, one by the drive-by shooter and one by Karla, yet there are three distinct bullet holes and a forth large hole in the rear windshield of Bogomil's car. Two holes are completely unaccounted for. (None of the windshield holes are tree reflections.)
Continuity mistake: When Rosewood is speeding to the City Deposit/Federal Reserve Bank, he smashes through a red/white booth and the car's front license plate falls off, but it soon reappears. (01:03:20)
Continuity mistake: When Eddie Murphy jumps onto the moving ready-mix concrete truck that Judge Reinhold has stolen, you can see that his gun falls out of his jeans, yet he is using it moments later.
Continuity mistake: After Axel gives Taggart the key to his "Uncle's" house and drives off, the real homeowner removes his sunglasses and walks toward Taggart and Rosewood, but next close-up his sunglasses are back on. (01:38:30)
Visible crew/equipment: After spotting all the trucks at Dent's oil field, when Axel, Rosewood and Taggart sneak down the hill and duck behind a car, the reflection of the moving boom pole and mic are visible on the car's surface. (01:27:00)
Continuity mistake: When Axel is in Bogomil's house and spots the sneakers, the sneakers and laces are filthy, but when Axel holds one of those sneakers its laces are clean and white. (00:43:10)
Continuity mistake: When Rosewood causes the alarm to go off at the warehouse on the oil field, Axel tackles one of Dent's guys holding the gun on him, and the guy's sunglasses disappear and reappear between shots while he and Axel are fighting. (01:29:30)
Continuity mistake: When the red Federal Armored Express truck escapes and is then chased by Axel and Rosewood in the cement truck, the number on the back of the Armored Express truck is 86200D. When Axel and Rosewood find it abandoned the number is 86204D. (01:06:00 - 01:09:10)
Continuity mistake: When Axel, Taggart and Rosewood show up at Emperian Fields, they are driving a brown car, but when they drive to Dent's oil fields, they are driving a blue car.
Factual error: Ronnie Cox is shot in the heart at point blank range by Brigitte Neilsen, and it looks to me like she's using a large caliber handgun. Keeping track of the action of the film tells us that Cox is sitting up in bed chatting to his friends just three days later. What nonsense. Even if he did survive (unlikely) he'd still be in Post-Op Intensive Care at that stage. He wouldn't be conscious, let alone allowed visitors.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Eddie Murphy actually drives two different types of Ferrari - a 308 and a 328. During his journey, the cars keep changing.
Continuity mistake: Bogomil is standing and looking down into the engine of Karla's car when the assassin drives up. However when the shot is fired, Bogomil rolls on the bonnet of the car. When was the bonnet closed?
Continuity mistake: After being put on leave, Bogomil leaves the office and is driving towards the camera. His car is being followed, then passed by, the Mercedes Benz driven by Karla Fry. The license plate on the front of Bogomil's car is 2CTE919. When he pulls over to help Karla the license plate on the front of his car has changed to 2CTE673. (00:13:20)
Continuity mistake: When Axel walks away from the receptionist in the Shooting Club with the bag of vitamins, in the close up he has his left hand below the bag, and holds the top with his right hand. But in the next shot he's suddenly let go with his left hand and only holds it from below with his right.
Continuity mistake: When Axel arrives at the hospital he is wearing his watch on his right wrist, but when he walks into Bogomil's room to say hi to Jan the watch is on his left wrist. The same thing happens when Axel drives past the house with renovations, his watch is on his right wrist, but when he pulls into the driveway the watch is on his left wrist. Interestingly, none of these shots are flipped. (00:22:20 - 00:24:45)
