XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Toby arrives to bring XXX his new modified car, as he drives it around the court you can notice a policeman appear all of a sudden in the shot with the close-up on the GTO on the grill; was nowhere to be seen before. (01:40:40)

XXX (2002)

Revealing mistake: When the cop that Xander drove insane gets wasted, the holes on the armchair don't match in timing nor pattern the ones in the door, and somehow the gun pierced the door, his body and the stuffed furniture without even producing entry wounds on his chest. (01:21:45)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Milan Sova pulls a gun on Xander, in the wider angles his left hand rests on the inside of the armchair, by his thigh, while in the closer angles it is on top of the armrest. (01:21:20)

XXX (2002)

Other mistake: Coming out of the same door he went through at the beginning of his dungeon quest, Xander shoves back the guy he stunned; considering the sedative is supposed to last for 12 hours, what is he doing standing there? But if we assume that sedation in movies does not matter and you can just wake someone up with a slap on the cheek, fine; there's still a continuity mistake when we consider that Xander pushes him back quite far but when the two henchmen come out of the door they find him much closer. (01:19:20)

XXX (2002)

Character mistake: In the theater, Gibbons tells Xander that the scientists Anarchy99 have on their payroll are "specialized in biological weapons." But Silent Night, as it turns out, is not a virus or toxin, but it's chemical based, so their old Soviet creation they are specialized in is not a 'biological weapon' at all. (01:08:15)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Xander whips out the binoculars to look at the bad guys dressing up the submarine, his fingers are positioned differently on the device between shots. (01:13:10)

XXX (2002)

Factual error: Not only Xander is able to see perfectly through the wall with his X-ray binoculars; he even takes pictures, of a computer screen. That's some serious techno (il) logical miracle. Even better: he snaps these x-ray pictures also using a flash. (01:13:50)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: Yorgi turns towards Yelena when it's time to admit her for the first time inside the secret basement and starts talking; At "Through this door..." his arms are down, but in the next shot when he finishes the sentence he's leaning on it with his left arm completely raised. (01:10:40)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: Xander puts the first explosive on a bike. The backing of the bandage falls on top of the box he dropped on the ground, forming a curve. In the next shot the backing is gone. (01:09:50)

XXX (2002)

Other mistake: Kirili shoots the first time in the crowded square, people walk about as if nothing happened, give out leaflets and all that, nobody is even curious about the noise. (01:05:30)

XXX (2002)

Other mistake: During lunch, Yelena learns about Kirili waiting outside in sniper mode. As she speaks with Xander, his wristwatch says it's 12:35, but the restaurant's clock says it's 5 past noon. (01:03:15)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: Xander just told Yelena that he's taking her to lunch. Cut to Yorgi's bed, with a random blonde asleep in it. Her hair is off her right shoulder, but in the following shot she's visible in the background, with hair covering that shoulder and part of her chest. (01:00:30)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: In the wide shot with Asia Argento and Vin Diesel standing in the hall of the villa once he caught her tampering with the floor safe, the shadows are entirely different from a moment before, when she was on the floor operating the computer. (00:59:10 - 00:59:40)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: The position of the Kodak camera Yelena is using with her laptop are inconsistent between shots, in particular when we see the 'transmitting' message; the camera looks perfectly aligned with the laptop and further back. (00:59:00)

XXX mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Xander stops Viktor to inquire about Kiril's coat-sniffing habits, a bowling ball appears literally out of nowhere between Jan Filipenský's hands between shots. (00:56:00)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: The wire transfer has been successful in dramatic fashion and Yorgi is telling Xander about the famous car number 10. He passes the paper to his brother; Kolya is at distance from the car, in fact he even steps away from it, to his right. But in the next shot, he winks at Xander standing by it, elbow on its roof. (00:47:20)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: In the close-up where agent Toby Lee Shavers grabs the gun from the case to show it to XXX, the owner of the hand in shot is wearing a ring on the left ring finger. In the following bit, the prematurely departed Michael Roof is sporting the ring on his right hand. The same mistake (left hand ring in close-ups, right hand ring for the other shots) happens when he picks the binoculars up and when he applies the bandage. (00:43:30)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: Xander's own personal Q (Toby Lee Shavers) shows him the various gizmos; when they're done with the pervy binoculars, TLS holds up a box of band-aids. Michael Roof's hand is in a completely different position on the box between shots. (00:45:00)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: XXX meets agent Toby Lee Shavers; he is initially pestering a local female officer but then has to turn his attention to Xander. Keep an eye on the woman; she puts both hands on the computer monitor, but at the cut she is in a totally different position. (00:42:25)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: For their first meeting, Xander and Yelena entertain a very overwritten conversation taking jabs at each other. He says he'd send her to 'charm school' and she does a weird sound sucking through the teeth as she walks away. Her shawl leaves her upper bare completely bare, but at the cut, it's all the way down covering her completely. (00:39:40)
