2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Factual error: During the scenes where the drivers are all racing to the impound lot, Verone and Fuentes are doing background checks on the drivers. When they show the shot of Roman Pearce's California driver's license information, it shows his DOB as Apr 12, 1973, A License issue date of 03/24/90, and Expires Date of 03/24/01. Driver's licenses don't expire on the anniversary of the issue date, they expire on the driver's month and day of birth. So his driver's license should show an expiration date of something like 04/12/01 instead. (00:31:45)

Suggested correction: Not all state's driver's licenses expire on their birthday, or at least not anymore. Example: my current driver's license expires on the anniversary of when I got it Aug 16th, but my birthday is in June.

Pearce's is a California license; in the timeframe of the movie expiration date matched DOB.

I've never heard of a State license doing this. Which State is this? Although the mistake is valid.

According to google, "Every California license expires on your birthday five years after it's issued" (I can't seem to access the CA DMV website at the moment) but it does seem as though the mistake is, as you say, valid.

My reply was to the corrector who claims his/her State's driver's license expires on the issue date, which is something I've never heard of. So I was asking which State his/her license was from, not the movie's license.

Sorry, my mistake. On my page it was formatted as though you were replying to Sammo. Looking online, Delaware is one state where the licence expires 8 years after issue and not on your birthday (at least from what I can see).

Ssiscool

Delaware driver licenses, while issued for 8 years, still expire on the driver's birthday.

Rush Hour 2 (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Carter is fighting Zhang Ziyi, after she stabs him in the chest with her sword and pushes Carter and the statue over, you can see that the statue is holding a plain wooden dowel. It doesn't have a sharp blade on it that you see in the next shot when it springs up and knocks her out. (01:13:40)

Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Gordon is in the shower wearing his dad's scuba gear and his dad throws the soap on a rope into the toilet, Gordon dives into the toilet to retrieve it. During the camera shots from beside the toilet, you can see that the back of the toilet has been removed so as not to block the view of Gordon with his head in the bowl, but in the other shots, you can see the back of the toilet just fine.
