Revealing mistake: In the opening scene Vinnie Jones is driving the red Mercedes CLK convertible. As the scene switches views of him driving, the view of Vinnie and the car changes in a flipped shot.
Mean Machine (2001)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Barry Skolnick
Starring: Vinnie Jones, Ralph Brown, David Hemmings, David Kelly
Continuity mistake: During the match, when funny music is playing, the guards attack the Mean Machine team. Monk has left empty the area (this is not the part when they do the goal), and you can see that there's nobody in the Monk's area. Change of shot, and suddenly there's a person of the Mean Machine team. Change of shot (when the ball almost enters) and there's nobody again in the area.
Danny Meehan: I'll tell you something, I didn't start off out as a youngster looking to sell my country out.
Massive: None of us planned to be here, mate.
Chiv: But you're forgetting one thing. You're a hero in Scotland.
Trivia: During the demonstration by Chiv and Monk, Monk grabs Billy's privates and lifts him off the floor. This is a variation on the famous Vinnie Jones move first used on Gazza in the English football league. This move is also in Gone in 60 seconds and can be seen on Vinnie's website.
