• Continuity: During the Yellow Hummer chase scene, the driver side mirror is knocked off and reappears several times.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When the blue car that is hooked onto the trailer is thrown off the back during the three-car chase on the highway, a stunt driver is clearly seen in the driver seat.
  
  
• Continuity: During the car chase scene, when Mike and Marcus do a 360 in their car, you can clearly see it is a Caucasian stunt driver with dark sunglasses doing the actual 360 spin. Once that is done and the car is accelerating forward, it is Mike back in the driver's seat.
  
  

• Crew or equipment visible: During the causeway chase scene, when the police cruiser overturns, a camera can be seen flying out of the driver's side window.
  
  
• Continuity: In the KKK shootout at the beginning of the movie, as soon as Marcus is taken hostage, the hostage-taker cocks the hammer of his revolver while putting the muzzle to Lawrence's head. In the next shot of the revolver, the hammer is not cocked anymore.
  
  
• Continuity: During the Ferarri/car carrier chase, the right front headlight that is shot out reappears and disappears several times.
  
  
• Continuity: The first time the bright orange 60s Nova driven by the Hatian gangsters is shown, it has damage to the right front quarter panel. In subsequent shots, the damage disappears and reappears.
  
  
• Continuity: When Syd's driver in the Black Yukon is shot, blood spatters on her white blazer. The blood stains disappear in later scene(s).
  
  
• Continuity: Much is made of the above ground swimming pool in Marcus' back yard. However, when Mike arrives at the house just before the "date interrogation" scene, an in ground pool is clearly visible out a rear door.
  
  
• Continuity: When the Captain is explaining to Mike and Marcus about what TNT meant, the line that he scribbles under TNT disappears and reappears between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: Hummer's windshield switches from cracked to not-cracked and back when it is driving down the hill through the Cuban village.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: The money in the coffin in the funeral home is marked "For Motion Picture Use Only".
  
  
• Continuity: The Haitian orange and black Chevy Nova has a damaged right front corner when first seen; moments later, as the car heads into the parking structure, the corner is undamaged.
  
  
• Continuity: In the first shoot-out, a KKK member cocks his shotgun twice.
  
  
• Continuity: As the boat is moving through the harbor at a pretty fast speed is creating a large wake. When the Coast Guard stops the boat, no wake is visible.
  
  
• Continuity: In the Macarthur Causeway chase sequence, the characters drive over the same bridge repeatedly. As a result, you can see them passing the Miami Herald building at least four times.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: After the shootout in the Haitian hideout, one of the "dead" Haitians can be seen breathing in a close up.
  
  
• Continuity: After the shootout in the Rastafarian house, when Mike and Marcus are interrogating the only one left alive, the dead man in the yellow shirt is seen clearly still breathing.
  
  
• Continuity: Syd is driving the black SUV down the ramp. People behind her are firing at the right side of it. The SUV shows holes in the left side.
  
  
• Errors in geography: In the beginning, when the coffins are being sent into the water, the screen title says the Gulf of Mexico. However, the drugs are being delivered to Miami. The Gulf of Mexico is on the other side of Florida (the West Coast).
  
  
• Continuity: During the shootout on the freeway, Mike shoots one of the Haitians and kills him. After a couple of minutes, Mike shoots the same Haitian again and kills him.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Mike arrives at Marcus' house, after driving up Marcus' driveway in his car, and they are talking on the porch, a cameraman can be seen in Mike's sunglasses.
  
  
• Errors in geography: One of the early scenes is supposed to be "Amsterdam Harbour". In reality Amsterdam Harbour is small and doesn't handle large ships or have the wharves featured. Rotterdam harbour on the other hand handles more cargo than any other port in Europe.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When the police car flips over, you can see the compressed air gadget that the stuntmen used to flip the car over, on the underside of the car.
  
  
• Errors in geography: In the harbor, someone is making a phone call from a "public" phone. The phone is clearly visible, but it isn't a phone that's used in the Netherlands. There are green public phones, but the design and logo are different. Also, there is a label on the phone booth which reads "Dutch Telecom". This company does not exist at all. The correct text would be "KPN Telecom".
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Cables visible on stunt players during the explosion during the gunfight with the KKK.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: During the helicopter/boat chase a camera helicopter is visible in the top of the shot just before Mike tells the boat to stop.
  
  
• Continuity: When Mike and Marcus are pursuing the van carrying the dead bodies, the train changes direction in relation to the vehicles between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: When the yellow Hummer leaves the mansion it has a sun roof but later in the chase scene it does not have a sun roof but has an overhead consul.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: In the ice van chase sequence, just after the ice van decapitates the dead body the camera dollies past another camera unit, also on dolly, and the 1st AC, camera operator, camera and dolly are visible.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When the Haitian gets into the semi's cab before the causeway scene, director Michael Bay is seen operating a camera for a handheld shot in the background. Behind him is much of the crew.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: After the freeway chase, when Marcus opens the passenger door of the Maranello 550 under the overpass, as the door swings open you can see a bunch of onlookers in the mirror.
  
  
• Continuity: During the MacArthur Causeway chase sequence, the Ferrari gets shot on the left headlight (Lawry complains about it). Later we can see the Ferrari intact.
  
  
• Continuity: When Floyd Poteet is put into the trunk of the commandeered car, his head is pointing toward the passenger side. During the chase we see him in the trunk, and his head is pointing toward the driver's side. When he is let out, his head is pointing back toward the passenger side.
  
  
• Continuity: When Marcus and Mike are the exterminators, Mike leaves his tool belt on the floor. But when he leaves the house he is wearing it.
  
  
• Continuity: When the black SUV parks on the roof of the parking garage, the circular exit is on the passenger side then on the driver side and back again between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: When Syd is backing up the SUV, she is at least a vehicle-width from the other car on the passenger side. A split second later she is close enough to knock off the guy hanging on.
  
  
• Continuity: The SUV backs up and knocks off the guy on the passenger side. Then Syd drives forward and we do not see the guy on the ground that just got knocked off.
  
  
• Continuity: When Syd is driving down the exit ramp she drives down about two levels before she kicks the door open and knocks the guy holding on off with the door. His arm is stuck in the window because she rolled it up on him, but as he starts his fall he is holding on to the frame of the door with no damage to the door.
  
  
• Continuity: When Syd leaves the parking garage, the orange Chevy Nova is the next car behind her, but the next car we see come out of the garage is yellow.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: As Syd comes out of the parking garage you can see two cameramen and equipment.
  
  
• Continuity: As the chase begins after leaving the parking garage the cars make a right turn. Following the SUV are a orange Chevy Nova, a purple Camero, and a blue Trans Am, but instead of the Trans Am we see a black Chevelle then the Ferrari. In the chase we see the Nova, Trans Am, Camero, Chevelle and a yellow Challenger that comes and goes between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: When Syd is driving down the exit ramp you see her drive to the second level down with the nova close behind. She drives at least to the third level down as the person in the nova shots at her, but we see the nova back at the top level.
  
  
• Continuity: The SUV has the rear window shot out as it is going down the parking garage ramp, the next shot it is back.
  
  
• Continuity: Syd drives the SUV out of the parking garage and her brother Marcus says, "It's Syd," as she drives by. The next shot shows her coming out of the garage.
  
  
• Continuity: The parking garage ramp is only four levels. They drive down at least to level two before the guy falls with the door, but we see him falling from the top of the ramp.
  
  
• Continuity: From the time the Trans Am leaves the parking garage till it crashes, the driver and passenger change, and the passenger goes from the front seat to the back seat.
  
  
• Continuity: The driver of the Trans Am when it left the garage and the passenger that was in the back seat when it wrecked are at the shoot out at the intersection.
  
  
• Continuity: Just as Syd gets to the intersection where she has a wreck and a green light (two cars running a red light), a man just gets across the street, the next shot shows a man and a woman getting out of the way, and the air bag does not work, and the bullet holes on the side are gone.
  
  
• Continuity: The shoot out at the intersection, the brake calipers on the Ferrari change from silver to orange.
  
  
• Continuity: The intersection were they have the wreck and the shoot out change between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: The SUV that Syd is driving is severely damaged in front when it hits a car broadside at the intersection, then is significantly damaged in the rear when the other dozen or so cars pile up behind it. We then see a "fresh" SUV trying to plow its way out of the intersection with no damage at all except the driver side door missing.
  
  
• Continuity: When Marcus and Mike are dressed as exterminators at the mansion, and get shot at, Mike's hat disappears and reappears between shots while they are speeding away in the van.
  
  
• Continuity: When Mike turns up at Marcus's house he's driving a 575. At the start of the freeway chase when the guy who fell down from the car park, the Ferrari in shot when he lands is still a 575, but on the freeway chase this changes into a 550 Maranello.
  
  
• Continuity: During the causeway chase several cars can be seen crashing twice, for example, the car that is tipped on its side and rolls along.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: In the causeway car chase you can see a camera attached to the semi truck just above the boat as the semi smashes into the truck with the boat on it.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Marcus is swept into the ocean after the pool breaking, you can clearly see that the water continues to flow though the pool is almost completely empty.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the causeway chase scene just before the police car hits the boat, Mike hammers on the brakes of the Ferrari, if you look closely you will see that Marcus is now wearing a white shirt with suspenders, instead of a black shirt.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: During the causeway chase the semi rear-ends and subsequently fishtails a car. In one shot, the car is empty (despite having been driving).
  
  
• Factual errors: In the beginning of the movie when the helicopter takes off from the Coast Guard Cutter, the helicopter pilot can be heard calling the cutter with a callsign of 6003. The helicopter is clearly an HH-65 Dolphin and would have a callsign of 6503.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Crash mat visible when they jump over the fence before Mike gets on the train.
  
  
• Errors in geography: Just after Tapia's mansion blows up, Mike, Marcus, and Syd make their escape in a yellow H2. They are in Cuba, but you are clearly able to see downtown Miami high-rises form a shot through the windshield of the vehicle while they are dodging Cuban Army fire.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Mike is driving towards the Haitians whose cars are piled up, he brakes and the car turns. As the car turns and Mike pulls out his gun, a stunt driver is briefly seen in between shots and it then cuts to Mike's face immediately after.
  
  
• Continuity: When Mike and Marcus are chasing the Haitians and he grabs his machine gun, before the Ferrari does a 360 you can see the driver side window is up, but when it comes around again, it is down.
  
  
• Continuity: When Johnny Tapia falls after getting shot in the head by Marcus, Johnny's gun falls out of his hand two different ways in each shot.
  
  
• Continuity: In the final confrontation with Tapia outside Guantanamo Bay, Marcus uses a two-tone SIG 226 and is clearly shown holding it when he is standing with his hands in the air. The moment he begins his roll, he appears to be holding a different weapon. When he comes up to take the shot on Tapia, the gun is clearly shown to have changed into a Glock 19.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Syd is driving the GMC during one of the many car chases, you can see a crew or cameraman's foot hanging out of the broken-off front door.
  
  
• Continuity: When Marcus starts to get out of the pool, he stops to talk about how loose the ladder is, the camera focuses on the two women talking, during this time he starts to get out of the pool again.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: At the end, when Mike and Marcus are floating on the river, you can see the foot of a safety diver, down in the corner.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: During the chase on the car hauler you can see the brake lights turning on and off as the supposedly empty cars roll off the back.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double at the end when Mike and Marcus are swept into the river and the pool bursts.
  
  
• Continuity: In the causeway chase, the first car that is hurled off the truck changes. When the bad guy shoots the chain to let the car go, the car is a Buick, but the car that rolls off the truck into oncoming traffic is a Pontiac Grand Prix.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: A lot of the scenes that involve the Ferrari 575M/550 Maranello do not portray its engine sound correctly - the sound is that of a raspy Ferrari flat-crank V8 engine, not the 575M/550's quieter, more refined V12.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When the blue Trans Am crashes, a camera is visible on the street.
  
  
• Continuity: When Marcus and Mike are chasing the mortuary van in the Caddillac, the front spoiler of their vehicle is damaged when they jump over some railway tracks. In later shots this damage has disappeared.
  
  
• Continuity: At the end, when Mike and Marcus are in the pool, you cannot see Marcus wearing any neck chain. After they fall into the lake and they are singing, you can clearly see him wearing a neck chain with a small cross.
  
  
• Continuity: When chasing the van with the bodies, the Cadillac goes over railroad tracks. Before that you can see damage to the bumper but after the tracks it's gone and the bumper is fixed.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Marcus shoots Tapia in the head and Mike turns around you can see crew members reflected off his glasses.
  
  
• Continuity: The remote controlled car is seen under the truck as it enters the compound yet in the next scene it is not under the truck. Then we see the view from the remote controlled car and it is still under the truck.
  
  
• Continuity: When Syd and Lowery are talking to each other in Marcus's back garden, the shadow of the palm tree leaves appears and disappears from Syd's face between the different angles of the cut.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: During the initial shoot out at the mansion in Cuba, black squibs can be seen floating in the swimming pool just before they go off.
  
  
• Continuity: During the BBQ scene, when Mike refers to the pool as a wet dog wrapped in blue plastic, the dog is in the pool. When Marcus tells his dog to go fetch, the dog is suddenly on the grass, chained, and completely dry.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Tapia blows up after being shot by Marcus, if you look close enough you will see that it is not Will Smith, but someone who is a bit bigger built and with more of a beard.
  
  
• Factual errors: Marcus sees rats having sex, but rats don't mate facing each other.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the very start of the shootout at the Haitian hideout, when Marcus says "You got to call yourself the devil in his house?!", there is an audio\visual mismatch. When the audio says "yourself" in Marcus's comment, his mouth actually forms the word "Mike". This is much much more obvious if watched in slow motion, but can be spotted by a quick eye in regular play speed. If the audio wasn't mismatched, Marcus would have actually said, "You got to call Mike the devil in his house?!" It was most likely a mistake made by Martin Lawrence and it was simply dubbed over with the correct word.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Just before the shootout with the Haitians, Mike spins the Ferrari around while shooting. You can see the Ferrari is on a dolly and that the wheels are not on the ground or turning.
