Other mistake: Derailed: In Trevor's trailer, Michael sits down and takes out his phone. When the phone is in his hand, the screen on the phone is displaying the menu screen. However, Michael never unlocked the phone or pressed any buttons to display the screen. The menu screen is already displayed when he takes the phone out of his pocket.

Other mistake: Franklin and Lamar: Franklin and Lamar begin by entering two cars: a red car and a white car. If Franklin gets in the red car, then Lamar will get in the white car. As Lamar enters the white car, he is never shown pulling a handle. He is just miming the actions of pulling a handle and the car door just opens.

Other mistake: Architect's Plans: Michael receives a call from Franklin where Franklin tells Michael that he is following the architect. It then cuts to Franklin, where he is seen hanging up the call, and pressing the hang up button on his phone, but the screen on his phone is switched off. He just appears to be pressing the screen, but not any actual button on the screen.

Other mistake: The Bureau Raid (Fire Crew Approach): Michael plants two sticky bombs in the FIB building, one in a locker and one on a toilet. Franklin detonates the sticky bombs when Michael is finished in the building, but there are more than two explosions.

Other mistake: Derailed: When Michael is in Trevor's trailer, he takes out his phone to go on it. Just after this happens, the shot cuts to a different angle, where his head is suddenly hunched more downwards.

Other mistake: Reuniting the Family: Just after Michael walks into his home, he takes out a bottle of whiskey, and goes to pour it into a glass. Just before he goes to pour, there is already a sliver of whiskey in the bottom of the glass, even though it should be empty. It appears as if the sliver of whiskey shown in the glass was used as an animation reference to help the animators during post-production.

Other mistake: Deep Inside: Franklin and Devin Weston are talking in the garage, and Lamar enters whilst holding his phone in his hand, observing the car. Lamar never uses his phone when talking to Franklin and Devin, but the menu screen on his phone remains on for the entire scene and never changes. There is no reason for the screen to be on since Lamar is not using it, nor does the screen ever goes into auto lock, despite Lamar not touching the screen.

Other mistake: Fame or Shame: When Michael and Trevor depart after chasing Lazlow, Michael takes out his phone to call Dave, but the screen is switched off.

Other mistake: The Merryweather Heist (Offshore Approach): At the end of the mission, Franklin, Michael and Lester exit the airstrip and Trevor is still there. Trevor, in rage, bashes his head repeatedly on a wooden crate lid. Blood visibly appears on the crate lid. However, there is not a single drop of blood visible on Trevor's face.

Other mistake: Vinewood Souvenirs - Al Di Napoli: Trevor gives the souvenirs he stole to Nigel and Mrs. Thornhill in a paper bag. The souvenirs he got them were a gold tooth, a dog collar, a golf club and clothes. The paper bag is far too small to include each of the items. He may have been able to fit the gold tooth and dog collar into the bag, but the golf club would have been too long to fit into the bag and the clothes would have been too big to fit into the bag.

Other mistake: Scouting the Port: Just after removing the portrait of Floyd's girlfriend on the wall, Trevor takes out a marker pen and starts drawing the heist plan with only that. The wall is then shown and a series of photographs, a classified document and strips of duct tape are visible on the wall with the drawings. The problem is, Trevor only had a marker pen on his hands. He was never shown sticking any of these items onto the wall.

Other mistake: Marriage Counselling: When Franklin arrives at Michael's house to find the tennis coach jumping off the balcony, there are numerous animation errors shown around the balcony, notably when the player shifts the camera angles. First, there are flowers around the balcony when the coach jumps off, but there are some frames in which the flowers have not been animated. Second, there are some frames in which the door to the balcony has not been animated, leaving a colourless arch shape. Third, numerous rendering layers of the balcony door will pop-up on screen during each individual key frame when the camera angle is altered.

Other mistake: Marriage Counselling: The opening shot of the intro cutscene is shown partway up the staircase of Michael's house looking down on the hallway. In the foreground of the shot, there is an ornament suspended from the ceiling, hanging around the staircase. The ornament starts off a very shaded colour, but an animation error occurs, causing the ornament to shift to a much lighter colour within a frame.

Plot hole: Cleaning out the Bureau: At the garment factory, Michael arrives, agent Dave Norton arrives and later in the scene, agent Steve Haines arrives at the building, walks up the stairwell and says hello to the others. Apparently, the plot has completely forgotten that Steve had shot himself in the leg in the mission "Monkey Business" a few missions prior, to make himself appear as a double agent - he is walking around completely fine in this mission as if nothing happened.

Trivia: Fresh Meat: When Trevor arrives at Franklin's house, he leaps over the fence, but ends up tripping on the fence and Franklin starts laughing. The moment where Trevor trips was never scripted. What happened was, when the scene was being filmed, the motion capture performer for Trevor, Steven Ogg was supposed to leap over the fence, but ended up tripping on the fence and the motion capture performer for Franklin, Shawn Fonteno broke out laughing. Trevor's rant at Franklin after this was then made up by Steven Ogg himself.

Question: What is the name given to those cart things that can be driven around San Andreas? For a detailed description, the carts being referred to kind of look like a golf cart, but without the roof on it and they are only shown in San Andreas, and not shown in Los Santos.

Chosen answer: It is called a Civillian Caddy. Also the location being referred to is not San Andreas, but in fact Sandy Shores.
