Taking Care of Business

Plot hole: When Jimmy and Spencer are being chased by the cops at the stadium, Jimmy uses a credit card to jimmy a door knob latch. However, the knob isn't locked, because it has no key hole. The dead bolt above the door handle is the one locked, and no credit card is going to jimmy a deadbolt.

Plot hole: When Sakamoto prepares to deliver his final serve in the tennis match, he declares, "Triple set point." Later we learn that he lost in three straight sets, so the statement should have been, "Triple match point."

Mistakes

Factual error: When Jimmy hot-wires the Lotus for the last time, he touches a red wire to a black one, the starter engages and the engine starts. Then he twists the two wires together. This would result in the starter running constantly, overheating it, and burning it out. A competent car thief would know never to do that.
