Corrected entry: In the opening scene at the docks we see Frank standing on a large container. The camera shows the container lowered all the way to the ground it then cuts away then cuts backs to show the container being lowered all the way down a second time. (00:06:00)

Correction: When Frank lowers the container, he doesn't originally lower it all the way.....he pauses to say something, and then continues to lower it.

Corrected entry: In the sequence where Frank's family is run over on the dock, the truck drives over them and continues on. Frank shows up soon after and looks down the dock, and there is no truck in sight. Soon the truck magically appears, having turned around on a dock barely large enough for it as is. The mobsters then "kill" Frank and leave him for dead. Only when they leave him, they get back in the truck, which has since magically turned around again, and speed off down the dock toward the ocean end of the pier, not the end connected to the island.

Correction: If you look at the dock from the wide shot at the beach, you can see there is a large area at the end where there would be enough room for a truck to turn around. The truck was behind the 'shacks' that were on the dock. Also when the truck speeds off after 'killing' Frank, it does go towards the beach, note that the beach is in the back, not a wide view of the ocean.

Corrected entry: When Frank's wife is driving away from Howard Saint's men, in one particular shot when she hits the red 4x4, out the back window there is grass on both sides, and a sand track/road, but in the next shot the landscape changes somewhat, and the the red 4x4 changes its distance. (Use slow motion or frame by frame.) (00:25:25)

Correction: According to this site's rules, if you have to use slow motion to see something, it's not a valid mistake.

Continuity mistake: When Saints's men are killing Castle's family, there is a shot of Frank and his dad shooting at one of the guys behind the barbecue stand. In one shot Frank and his dad shoot the salad bowl and most of the salad comes out, then in the following shot the salad has magically reappeared. (00:22:30)

Question: Would Castle's life have really been saved by jumping into the bathtub before the grenade went off?

Answer: In Season 9, Episode 20 of "Mythbusters," Adam and Jamie tested whether a person could survive a "toilet bomb" (recreating a Lethal Weapon 2 scene) by jumping into a cast iron bathtub and being covered with a bomb blanket. They used 1 kg of C-4 explosives that created a blast with a peak lethal pressure of 180 psi outside the tub. The pressure inside the tub was recorded as a survivable 8 psi, though with probable hearing damage. From what I read, a grenade has a much lesser psi force than what the C-4 explosion produced. Depending on the circumstances, it seems plausible that a person could survive the force and shrapnel while inside the tub.

Answer: It's plausible but highly unlikely. Assuming it's an old metal bathtub (which seems to be the case), it's possible it might have deflected enough of the percussive shock and shrapnel to save him, but unlikely that it'd stop everything. It's one of those things where it probably wouldn't work 90% of the time... but there's that 1 out of 10 chance it could possibly work if he got really lucky and no big pieces of shrapnel came his way. (Plus, stranger things have happened in real life).
