Factual error: During the opening credits, when Nina Arianda' s name pops up, you also see the invite from the Verdi club for Florence's performance. It's the beginning of the story, but in the street you can see the cinema marquee for the movie "Three Is A Family", released on November 23, barely 3 days before Florence's death. (00:01:00)

Other mistake: After the weird scene with the dude in a wig, there's one quick display of all the various pages that talked about the viral video. One of those pages is written in Italian, but it's obviously machine-translated and/or not supervised by anyone speaking the language, since it contains multiple mistakes (including also an edit flub with the picture of the brothers on top of an article about medusae). Even the name of the magazine is certainly pretty bad for an Italian one; "Daily du Jour", which is French, not Italian. (00:14:15)

Other mistake: Mike and Dave put the ad on Craigslist, and people begin to share it through social media. The first time we see someone share it through Facebook the date of the post is "March 19 at 12:38 AM." Moments later there's a zoom in and now the date is still the 19th, still at 12:38 AM, but the month changed to May. (00:12:30)

Character mistake: During an intermission following Dmitri's revenge after the attempted hit on him, the Chief of staff discusses the data with Dr. Updale. There's a pie chart in the screen in the background, and the segments are; 5%, 25%, 16%, 14% and 50%, which add to...110%. It's not a pie chart, it's a pie and a slice. (00:50:15)

Continuity mistake: Nya knocks at the door of the building manager. She turns towards Dolores and asks her if she's seen him. Lex Scott Davis in the first shot is leaning against the frame with curled fingers, but her pose is with the hand flat in the reverse angle. (00:04:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie Nya checks out of the leaking sink. The rag changes place after it cuts to her looking at the pipe, but she never moved it. (00:04:10)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Callahan proudly shows to a policeman an issue of the Portland State University "Vanguard", the magazine that is publishing his comic. Looking at the prop, it is instantly suspicious because Callahan's name is all over it like he's a celebrity, and in fact, the article on it is nothing but a copy and paste of Timothy Egan's "Defiantly incorrect" article from The New Yorker celebrating John Callahan's talents in 1992. (01:12:55)

Factual error: Annu's SAS stewardess uniform (the company is explicitly mentioned) is accurate in colors and design for the time period (it's the pre-1983 type), but the hat lacks the crest of the company, having just a generic golden laurel. (01:08:20)

Sammo ★

Factual error: John Callahan is still a struggling cartoonist who has not even gotten his first gig when he shows to a woman at the library two sketches, the second being a joke about Starbucks opening a new coffee store in someone's rear end. Callahan shows the first issue of the Portland student gazette to a policeman a few scenes later and it is dated 1978, Back then Starbucks hadn't even expanded outside of Seattle yet, it will begin only a decade later. (01:07:45)

Continuity mistake: John wakes up in a hospital bed, with a doctor talking to him in a rather aloof tone. The stethoscope around Doctor Mirione's neck changes position every time the angles switch; the bell is either at his collar or all the way down to his coat's pocket. (00:25:00)

Revealing mistake: When Joseph goes to pick up the prisoner, there's a close-up of the paperwork; the prop is something recycled, or perhaps a real prison movement slip with Alex Veadov's picture stapled on, because the character's name is Vadim Nezhinski, a white Russian, but the documents say "Anderson, Robert", with a B (Black) for race. (01:09:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Vadim Nezhinski is asking Bobby to help him with the drugs, and tells him that they are gonna 'fix' all the cops that get in their way. Behind Joaquin Phoenix you can see the same waitress walk towards a door twice, the second time in particular the aisle was shown in the reverse shot a moment before, she is appearing out of nowhere. (00:41:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: There's a close-up of the Russian that is bleeding on the precinct floor; notice his switchblade is on the floor really close to the pool of blood. Mark Wahlberg arrives a few seconds later, and the blade is at greater distance, and the bloodstain around the person's arm is slightly smaller. (00:27:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Bobby finds a bit of a messy situation by the bar, when a scuffle ensues as drunk patrons try to jump on the counter to join two topless chicks. During the scene, Jumbo holds his plastic cup high up with the arm stretched, or lower, and the distance between him and the scared guy with the white jacket changes. (00:05:10)

Trivia: After the 'Produced by' in the credits, there's a brief sequence hinting at Nice being still alive - since someone with her hairstyle darts by.

Sammo ★

Character mistake: At the beginning of the movie you can read the rules of the premises, in particular rule number 3 says; "No guns or any type of weapon permitted through the gates." However, the Wolf King's cronies dump their guns before the gate even when they were never supposed to be able to come in (so does Burke at the beginning, but he was trying to be admitted in). (00:07:15)

Sammo ★

Trivia: Besides a passing reference to 'the wall' to Mexico, there's a more subtle reference to a certain US President in the brand of the generator activated 20 minutes in and at the end of the movie; it's "ковфефе", which is a possible transliteration in Cyrillic of the infamous Trumpian typo "covfefe." (00:21:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Nice draws a line in the asphalt of the secret passage (cool idea, although there's no way that the bad guys can actually see that especially at a distance!). In the first overhead shot, there's a gap in the line. When the line is shown again next with the first baddie croaking before it, the line has already changed. (01:15:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Bautista confronts the thugs still to the other side of the gate saying "Visiting hours are NEVER!", Crosby is holding two consecutive horizontal bars in one shot, two with one bar apart in the next. (01:15:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Nice's hands invert position (left up, right up) when she is hugging/supporting Waikiki after he jammed the printer. A moment later she supports him with her left hand on his bicep, but it is gone in the reverse shot. (01:12:25)
