Continuity mistake: When Axel, Rosewood, and Taggart pull up beside the racetrack near the end of the film, you see the front and back doors on the passenger side opening, with Axel exiting the front, and Taggart exiting the back passenger side. Next shot, we see the car from the driver side with Rosewood exiting the front driver side, but now Taggart is exiting the back driver side. (01:23:50)
Continuity mistake: At the oil fields warehouse Axel opens a crate of grenades on the back of the truck. The lid from the crate shifts slightly from when he opens it to when he reaches in and takes out some grenades. (01:28:05)

Continuity mistake: When Axel, Rosewood, and Taggart are getting shot at at the oil fields a machine gun tears up the "Property of The US Air Force" crate in front of them. A few seconds later from a distance we can see that the crate is in perfect condition without bullet holes. (01:30:05)
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)
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.

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: 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 Bogomil stops to help Karla, the driver's window in his car is slightly open. When he lies shot on the ground, it is all the way down.
Continuity mistake: Hugh Heffner disappears. In one clip he is right next to Axel. Three to four seconds later he is nowhere to be seen, even though the camera pans around, and the spot is quite crowded.
Suggested correction: After he tells them they need to leave, he's off camera for long enough to walk away. When the camera pans around, it doesn't show the area he would have walked away towards.
Continuity mistake: The speed with which the cement truck's mixing barrel turns changes significantly between clips of the car chase - and in some clips it doesn't turn at all.
