Deliberate mistake: In the sequence where Jack finds his friend, and then the cards he is holding counts down to the explosion.

Suggested correction: That's one of the gags of the film, how action films have obvious stunt doubles, not to mention ridiculous stunts like how he got the car on 2 wheels in the first place.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Benedict is getting away from Jack's daughter's house he gets into a white car, but when Jack shoots him the car is black.

Suggested correction: It's the same car the whole time. The car he gets into is black, but the way the camera picks up the light that hits part of the door does fade out of the color some, but you can see the rest is black.

Bishop73

Visible crew/equipment: When Jack first falls on to the elevator and is hanging on the side, you can see the reflection of the camera in the window. (01:15:45)
