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.
Continuity mistake: When Axel breaks into the Shooting Club he places a piece of gum on the door. He squeezes it flat with his finger. But in the next clips, the piece of gum is not flat - and its position has changed.
Continuity mistake: When Taggart is shouting at Axel in the pool he has his glasses on. In the next shot of him slipping into the pool, his glasses are gone. Also his cigar was in his hand in the scene before he slipped. Once he slips the cigar is in his mouth.
Continuity mistake: Following the final showdown, the bad guy is shot while trying to run Axel over. The car then crashes through a wall and a fence and plunges down a bank landing on its nose/bonnet. When it explodes, it is lying on its side.
Continuity mistake: When Axel is in Bogomil's house he finds his trainers. Axel picks picks up a left-footed trainer, but in the next shot he's holding a right-footed trainer.
Continuity mistake: The two $10 bills Axel gets from the gun club receptionist get very wrinkled when Axel squeezes them. But when he walks away, holding the bills up, they are totally straight.
Continuity mistake: After Axel shoots the screens in the gun club they show a shot of Karla and Russ talking about the shell casing. You can see the screens between and around them. There are no holes. Axel is also playing with the artificial laser sighted gun just as he was in the previous shots before he shot holes in the screens. Axel and Karla are later shown at the shooting range and the screens are perfectly intact. (00:36:30)
Continuity mistake: When Axel, Rosewood, and Taggart are racing to to get to the City Deposit, Rosewood runs over several parking meters on the sidewalk which heavily damages the front end of the car. However, later when Taggart catches up to Axel and Rosewood outside the Playboy Mansion, he's driving the exact same car, complete with the police light, but the front end isn't damaged at all.
Continuity mistake: The construction worker Axel talks to at the beginning yanks off his hat (when he says "Son of a..."), but it jumps back to his head after the angle changes.
Continuity mistake: When Axel's knife breaks in the drawer in the Shooting Club, you can see that there is about 2 inches left of the blade. But when he holds up the knife there is only about 1 inch. Clearly not the same knife.
Continuity mistake: When Axel is hunted in the garage by the black car backing up, you see the hole in it's back window. One shot later the hole is more than twice the size.
Continuity mistake: When Bogomil stops to help Karla their cars are several meters apart. When Bogomil gets the first shot he rolls on the bonnet of Karla's car. He walks 1-1½ steps towards her. She pushes him back (i.e. towards her own car), but even so - he bumps into his own car. It was much further away and in a different direction.
Continuity mistake: When Axel gets the bag of vitamins from Rosewood the bag is rolled/folded closed in one direction only. This is also seen after Axel wets his face with the water from the champagne bucket. After he wets his face he grips the back with the folded top of the back facing him. The next shot he is walking towards the receptionist with the bag facing her. The folded edge is now facing away from him. The single folded edge is best seen after he picks up the bag from the receptionist's desk. (00:31:30)
Continuity mistake: When Chief Lutz is going through the case in the meeting with the mayor he says "There is no B and D." But there was a B - when Bogomil got shot. Didn't they find that letter?
Continuity mistake: As Axel is driving down the street right before he cons the builders out of the house, you can see in the background a lot of cars as it is a busy street. Axel then makes a U-turn in the middle of the street without getting hit, and no other car is ever seen on this road.
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: 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 pulls into the warehouse to meet up with Vinnie he barely gets the Ferrari into the dock doorway and it is crooked when he parks it. After he gets out of the car the car is pulled in further into the doorway and parked straight. (01:14:35)
Continuity mistake: When Axel arrives at the hospital he's wearing a gold, round, white faced watch, with a black band. When he's driving, and soon sees the house under construction, the black band on the watch is a type of weave design (note his hand on the steering wheel). When he talks to the foreman, the watch is all black and has a plain black band.
Continuity mistake: When Rosewood, Axel and Taggart are driving in the car, such as on the way to the City Deposit/Federal Reserve Bank and later on the way to Sidney Bernstein, the car's rearview mirror vanishes and reappears repeatedly. (01:03:10)
