Continuity mistake: Halfway into the film, when Wesley Snipes chases 'The Torch' into the subway and they subsequently begin to fight, Wesley causes The Torch to catch fire. If you look carefully at the next shot the train coming towards them is a 5-line train. The train that hits The Torch, however, is an N-line train. (01:03:00)

Continuity mistake: John kicks Mr. Brown through a glass window, and he goes through the glass. Camera cuts to behind the glass, and he goes through again. (01:14:20)

Plot hole: When Charlie sets out to hijack the money train, he jumps off the platform onto the tracks as it arrives, in plain sight of the driver and other passengers at the station, and only puts his mask on once he's in position on the tracks. The train conveniently stops right over top of Charlie, allowing him to enter through the conveniently-placed grate on the train's floor. (01:17:15)

Continuity mistake: When Wesley is driving his motorbike down the subway stairs to catch the money train, we see a couple on the stairs who both move to the side (backs against the wall), but in the next shot with the camera facing up the stairs, the couple have disappeared. (01:19:10)

Visible crew/equipment: Just after breaking down the service gate, John is riding around a corner where a civilian is leaning against the wall on screen left. Look at this extra's feet to see a white tape marker on the floor. (01:19:20)

Revealing mistake: When John jumps onto the tracks on his bike, look closely and you can see there is wood or some other material between the rails for him to land on. (01:20:20)

Factual error: When Charlie suggests "bleeding the brakes" on the train, or letting the air out so the train couldn't be tripped or stopped, that would have the opposite effect. Letting the air out of the brakes on a subway train applies the brakes. The air pressure keeps the brakes off. Eliminating that pressure would cause them to instantly clamp down. It's one of several safety redundancies. (01:24:10)

Donald Patterson: Did I say that? I didn't say that! All I said was... bad things tend to happen around you two. Some money got lost and I think you two can help me find it.
Charlie: How so?
Donald Patterson: You look for it.
