Continuity mistake: XXX is bargaining with the guy at the docks of the hideout in the Caramoan Islands. The guy says "30% off the top" and pulls a lollipop out of his mouth. He is not putting it back even in the following reverse shot when Vin Diesel laughs at him, but there he is after that, with the lolli again in his mouth. Similarly, when Diesel says "Aaaall right, 22 and a half" the guy has his lollipop between the lips, but it's gone in the next shot. (00:39:55)

Continuity mistake: Cage and his group dock at the island in the Philippines and he begins to talk with the guy who asks him what do they want. He begins; "I heard this is a perfect place..." and a girl walks across, leans against the table with the others and puts her drink down. Next shot, the girl is drinking from the same glass she just put down. (00:39:25)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: The DJ dude is trying on the super gloves, but loses control and punches a hole in a hatch. Before the shot changes and we get to a close-up of the hole in the metal, you can see Kris Wu pull his arm back and the not-so-metallic parts of the door being pulled back, caught in the denim of his jacket like carton or foil. (00:38:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The debris on Tennyson Torch's car changes between shots when he gets out of the car after crashing it into the ATM. (00:33:35)

Sammo

Character mistake: To compliment Xander Cage's physique, the overexcitable Becky tells him that he has 'guns' like 'the second terminator', specifying she means the 'liquid metal guy'. Robert Patrick surely didn't have 'big guns'. (00:29:40)

Sammo

Character mistake: Toni Collette tells XXX that their plane has "Fuel tanks big enough to circumnavigate the globe three times without ever landing." The plane is a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, which while having remarkable tanks, can go for 5,200 nautical miles, around 10 thousand km, 1/4 of circumnavigating it once. Even if someone made a tank 'big enough' to back the bragging of the snotty CIA boss, it would weigh so much that it'd be impossible to take off (and consume a lot more fuel too), which is why you can refuel that plane in the air.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the dialogue in their retreat in the Philippines Serena Unger with a gun in hand tells Xiang "That's the problem, you forgot the Queen." Between those two shots, the people walking in the background have changed. Same happens when she shoots - with everyone being remarkably unfazed, too. (00:27:40)

Sammo

Other mistake: Xander gets the location of the 'ghosts' from his posh Brit hacker friend. He brings it to his duck-lipped boss who is waiting for him in a limo. Judging by the back window it's not just raining, but pouring; still all the exterior views before showed a perfect weather and most importantly, both Vin Diesel's chrome dome and his pimp coat are perfectly dry. (00:26:10)

Sammo

Factual error: Xander Cage just performed his patriotic duty all night long with half a dozen of Aisley's girls. What follows is a shot of London with Big Ben showing 5:35, but it must be 5:35 PM, because even in August at that time in the morning the sun has not even dawned yet. The scene is meant to happen in the morning. (00:25:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ainsley sits down to listen what Xander has to say and puts her hair in a tail that goes in front of her shoulder. At the first cut during the phrase "You know, information like this doesn't have a price" there's an obvious sudden change of position between shots, as shown by the tail that goes down straight in the first shot and is caught in the bathrobe collar in the second. (00:23:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ainsley slides towards Xander the data on the 'ghosts', but pulls it back before he can reach it. In the background, a woman is drinking from a cup, but in the next shot she's listening to another person with no cup in sight. (00:25:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Xander sighs at the SWAT agent in Santo Domingo, the shadow on his palm in close-up is different compared to the shots before and after. (00:19:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Xander plays dumb (and he's a natural at it) with the Dominican SWAT guy who asks him to get on his knees without moving, the guy has his assault rifle pointed straight at him or pointing down depending on the camera angle. (00:18:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the fake tourist tells Xander "You need a new plan", a guy with a blue tank, khaki pants and a black and white sports bag passes by. Vin Diesel rebuts "I need a new map" and the same guy is passing again, and again. (00:17:40)

Sammo

Character mistake: The astute Xander Cage is able to guess that the fake tourist approaching him is, in fact, a fake because he spoke to him in English and he couldn't have guessed he was not a local. Of all the possible hints, given the fact that everything about a guy who randomly sits next to you and starts talking to you saying vaguely ominous things is suspicious, especially if you are a former CIA agent on the run, Xander's reasoning does not hold much water there when you consider that he was reading a map in English, with notes scribbled all over also in English. Anyone could have guessed that, and the guy takes a good look at the map, in fact comments on it. Besides, the tourist could have simply been looking for someone in this foreign country who'd knew his own language, and someone who has obviously been abroad a lot could be a good candidate for that. (00:17:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Xander's Dominican girl wakes up not finding him in bed anymore, she walks to the beaded curtain and opens it. She does it in two separate shots, with her left hand being at the same height of her right in the first shot, coming down from a higher position in the next shot. (00:17:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Xander Cage justifies being a cheapskate freebooter to the buxom brunette, he's leaning all the way against the hut, left arm outstretched in the first shot, while in the second shot he's in the middle. (00:16:15)

Sammo

The King of Fighters All Star mistake picture

Bug: Occasionally (in particular during results calculation) the Time Attack mode returns an untranslated error messages in Korean.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Xander checks the timer that signals 30 seconds to DEFCON-1 alert, in the wide angle he is holding it by the side, in the close-up he has it in his palm, with his fingertips at the top. (00:14:55)
