Xander Cage: You know, these days a regular guy can't afford to be regular. (00:16:20)

Jane Marke: Anything you need, Becky can source it within the hour.
Becky Clearidge: Except for any sort of illegal drugs. Those, I'll have in 15 minutes. (00:30:20)

Xiang: Stick to the path. There's a lot of unmarked graves on this island.
Xander Cage: I bet whoever sold you that shirt is in one of them. (00:46:35)

Plot hole: Ice Cube's cameo is really neat for the fans of the series, but does not make a lick of sense. Brushing aside the fact that the fangirl knows who he is when in theory his involvement in XXX 2 was never officially sanctioned and he gets no mention, presidential pardon or anything in his own movie, the fact that dialing 9 he just shows up in the space of minutes in Detroit with no reason for him to be there is nothing short of supernatural.

Sammo ★

Visible crew/equipment: During Gibbons' funeral, when the camera pans up to eventually catch Vin Diesel sitting in the gallery, a few extras (such as the woman two rows behind the one with the flaming red hair) look up following the movement of the crane. (01:36:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the gang bids a silent farewell to Xander, look at Nicks in his close-up; in the background, Tennyson Torch is turning around towards his right, but in his own close-up, Tennyson turns towards his left, and Becky is close to him while she was nowhere in sight before. (01:33:10)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Ice Cube shoots the grenade at the car, the explosion comes from inside the car, but the car itself is raised in the air before the explosion happens. (01:28:05)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Ice Cube is so awesome that a single grenade from his DefTech 40mm causes THREE simultaneous distinct and separate explosions in the parking lot after he scowls at the baddies the first time we see his face in this movie. (01:27:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Xander receives the phone call from Serena that informs him of the failed jamming. When he says "Oh and tell Nicks..." he is holding the telephone in a different grip. (01:30:00)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: When Hawk says "Damn, I'm out of bullets!", Michael Bisping's lips don't move. (01:17:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Ruby Rose gets her gun back from Deepika Padukone in the building shootout, she casts her shadow against the wall to her left or to her right depending on the camera angle. (01:22:05)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Xander cushions the fall of the soldier and tries not to make noise since there are other bad guys nearby, but the thud he'd make is not any louder than Xiang shouting to get attention, or the sound effects of their kicks and punches. He also puts him to sleep with a (fake) punch to the nose, hardly the efficient way to knock the daylights out of someone. (01:19:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Jean Marke picks up the Pandora's Box, she is wearing the pearl grey nail varnish she had during the air trip from the Philippines. When she reaches the plane after a short car trip, she is sporting a teal manicure. (01:15:00 - 01:16:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After apprehending Xiang and dragging him on the plane, Marke gets a phone call from 'the President'. Behind her, Xander Cage approaches; the military guys in the background move between shots. (01:16:20)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: Xander tells Jane Marke that Xiang "is not the bad guy" and should be let free. The movie narrative of course backs it up. Slight problem; in the movie opening, Xiang retrieved the Pandora's Box shooting DEAD several perfectly innocent security agents. There's no mistake about it, we see his bullet blowing the head of one of them off. So much for the good guy that should walk away free, and Marke does not object this simple fact, but just says they need a scapegoat.

Sammo ★

Stupidity: It was completely pointless and counterproductive for Marke to involve Cage at all in the Detroit operation, since the rogue guy was just a sweaty executive with no backing, no resources and a single bodyguard with a handgun, trapped in a condemned building. Her team of boy scouts would have done the job perfectly fine, or the local SWAT team would have been in the right spot much quicker. Anyone working in a team and with better body armor than Vin Diesel's tank top, really.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Once the rogue director dies, Xander and Xiang look down at his corpse. His handgun rests on the dusty floor with a couple of wood splinters and a pebble nearby, and the Box is by his torso, with a noticeable shadow cast on it. Jane Marke then kicks the gun away from a spot with none of the previous debris around, and picks up the box with no shadow in sight. (01:14:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Cage is In the building in Detroit with the crazy CIA director. When he shouts at him "So what are you gonna do about it, huh?" Vin Diesel's hand, his right thumb in particular, is in a different position from the previous shot - and finger position is particularly emphasizes during the rest of the scene. (01:13:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After Tennyson's 200th crash selfie, we see Xiang chased by Xander. When Xiang tumbles in the alley, on top of a dumpster there's a carton half filled with green and white bottles. When he kicks it in Xander's face, the carton is filled with just green bottles. (01:10:00)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Xander Cage chases on foot Xiang in the Detroit underpass, he leaps over an incoming car, then on top of the hood of another. The hood is already dented from previous takes. (01:08:25)
