Continuity mistake: The plate on Karla Fry's Mercedes changes color and goes from 2DTA163 to 1PWJ391. The plate on the Camaro changes three times.
Continuity mistake: It is obvious that Carla shoots Cain in the head, but when Foley looks down at him, there is no bullet hole or blood on his head, but there is blood on his abdomen like he was shot there. (01:18:00 - 01:19:00)
Visible crew/equipment: When Rosewood enters Axel's Beverly Hills house a big lighting screen is reflected on his sunglasses.
Continuity mistake: When Rosewood and Taggart are by the window and Rosewood is going to use the gum foil trick, he's looking at the window and holding his shotgun. In the next shot, the gun is already set down with no time passing.
Continuity mistake: When the trio is driving to the racetrack, there's a shot of Axel in the backseat when he was in the front seat. This is the same shot from when they were driving to the City Deposit, with Axel in the backseat, after Axel asks if the car can go any faster.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning when Bogomil is talking to Axel on the phone, he's holding the newspaper clipping with his index and middle fingers extended. When the shot changes, his fingers are tucked behind his thumb.
Factual error: During the final shootout (the one with the rocket launcher) Eddie Murphy is supposedly shooting his pistol while the slide is locked back. Pistols cannot fire like this.
Continuity mistake: When Axel enters Inspector Todd's office before going to LA, the clock on the wall reads about 3:54. Fifteen seconds later when Todd comes around his desk, it reads 3:59 or 4:00. (00:19:40)
Continuity mistake: When Chip is talking with Axel in the gun club he starts putting a cigar in his mouth. In the next immediate wider shot, he repeats the action.
Continuity mistake: Axel is driving down a residential street when see a house under construction. In the close up of Axel there is traffic behind him like on a city street. When he decides to turn around he is on a residential street again. (00:29:00)
Continuity mistake: When Axel notices the people working on the house, he's on a busy street with a lot of traffic (look behind him). When he turns the car around it's a smaller street without traffic.
Audio problem: At the gun club, Axel talks to Russ and we see a video screen with the two talking. Russ' mouth is slightly off from what he is saying.
Continuity mistake: Rosewood steals a cement truck. When the truck is pulling up the passenger side door is closed. Axel runs alongside it and the door is suddenly open for him to grab onto.
Continuity mistake: After getting kicked out of the Playboy mansion, Axel has Dent's wallet, that he supposedly picked while he was in there. In the scene with Dent, and later Hef, after he has touched Dent, you see his hands and there is no wallet there or do you see Axel put his hands inside his coat to hide the wallet. He never picks it, so how did he get the wallet?
