Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) More at IMDbPro »

• Continuity: When Mrs. Murphy sings "Respect" at the Mercedes dealership, there are lots of people on the bridge outside. After a close-up, a second later in a shot from the same angle, no people at all on the bridge.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Chamberlain receives his calling, you can see the cameraman in his sunglasses.
  
  
• Factual errors: When Elwood meets Cab for the first time and tells him about Curtis, Cab says that his mother lives in Phoenix, Arizona and then calls her. He is in Chicago and only dials 7 numbers when he needed an area code.
  
  

• Continuity: Mother Mary Stigmata strikes Elwood on his left shoulder. In his reaction shot, he rubs his right shoulder.
  
  
• Factual errors: In the scene with Wilson Pickett singing "634-5789" in the phone sex office, the computers and phones are not plugged in.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: After the Russians torch Willie's club and chase the Bluesmobile, Mack throws the nails out of the window. At the point where the Russian car's tyres blow out, the ramp used to flip the car over is clearly visible.
  
  
• Continuity: During the chase scene after the Russians torch the club when the tacks are used and the Russians car flips over, it flips over before it reaches the left side of the club and ends up in front of the club. In the previous shot the actual chase started in front of the club and they were driving fast and would have been well away from the club when the car flipped over.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Originally the leader of the militant group is crushed and explodes with the boat. However, he reappears at Queen's saying" If you try any of that...”
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: A ramp can be seen when the Russian's Chrysler Fifth Avenue jumps and rolls over.
  
  
• Factual errors: The Indiana State Police cars that first appear outside of Bobs Country Junction while the band is inside eating have a front plate, Indiana automobiles only have one plate; on the rear. Furthermore the uniforms worn by the Indiana State Police officers in the movie are incorrect. They have never worn green and never worn a jacket. Further along in the movie after the brothers are spotted at the restaurant and during the road block on the bridge the correct blue Indiana State Police uniform with upside down triangle patch (probably worn by actual officers who were called in to be extras) can be seen in the back (this is just after one of the troopers wearing the green uniform finishes talking to the person playing the FBI agent.)
  
  
• Continuity: When Elwood Blues, Mighty Mack McTeer and Buster Blues sneaks into the Monster Truck Stadium to perform, the police stop their car to look inside. When it shows the police point of view, Buster is in the back of the car and Mighty Mack McTeer is in the driver seat. In the next take, Buster is suddenly in the passenger seat.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: During the big police car pile-up at the construction site: if you look closely as each car falls onto the pile, they're all empty - there's no one driving the cars.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the sniper is lining up his shot at the truck rally show, the front cap on his scope is closed.
  
  
• Continuity: When the Russians are shooting up Willie's club, the neon "Willie's" sign is intact after a close up shows it getting destroyed by gunfire.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: During part of the "Ghost Riders" set, there is a cut to the sniper's infrared sight, which shows Elwood on stage using the remote control for the car. However, despite the fact we can hear him singing on the soundtrack, his mouth is quite firmly shut. When it cuts back to the stage, he is singing again.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: After the revival when Elwood is being chased by the police there are only 9 cop cars chasing him but 59 cop cars crash with one stopping before the crash, therefore making the car count 60.
  
  
• Continuity: When Elwood jumps the construction equipment he is clearly about to land and flip but the next scene shows him landing safely.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the band leaves for their play date in Louisiana, they have only two cars. The passenger compartments of both are filled with the band members, and the trunk of the Blues Mobile contains the young member Buster. This leaves only the trunk of the other car to carry the band's equipment. It would be impossible to fit all their guitars, amps, horns, drums, and other gear into this one small trunk.
