Factual error: The villain performs his hit at the beginning of the movie by remotely changing the GPS destination of a cab, so they head to the wrong place and into an ambush. Assuming that neither the cabbie or Pope notice the change on screen, and that his sophisticated software silenced the voice announcement of the course being recalculated, and makes the new place also marked as the old one (it is after all a god-like movie software), the trick is done on on a London black cab, whose drivers are notorious for "The Knowledge", aka being required to learn the entire topografy of the city in one of the most demanding training courses in the world, and not using GPS. It'd be definitely unlikely for the cab driver to be totally unaware, to the point of Pope himself noticing first that they are at the wrong place.

Factual error: The bad guy's henchwoman reads the license plate as "SI52JGN", he repeats it as such but on screen he types "S152JGN" (with the second character as a number 1 and not a letter I). I (like Q and Z) is a letter that can't be used in the first 2 digits of a UK license plate, anyway. (00:04:45)

Other mistake: Vic is helpless as Morris is bleeding to death on the sidewalk. She has her feet on a manhole in the view before the Staples, but in the overhead shot it's him with the feet on in it. On a sidenote, when he is helping her out and the passersby are seen, on the left you can spot by the Italian place under the umbrella a few extras who are having a great time and laughing, not bad for being 20 feet from a shootout and with a dying cop in front of them. (00:05:30)

Continuity mistake: Vic's colleague brings him the plate with the tiniest piece of cake, the red fork switches side between shots (it also gets upright in the next shot 'stabbing' the cake instead of lying on the plate, but that could have been done by her out of frame, even if it's not a gesture that makes a lot of sense). (00:08:55)

Plot hole: The 'real' villain needs Vic to investigate the drop and be there, so he'd be killed in an incriminating spot. Problem is, the boss also throws in a deadly ambush by a whole gang early in the day; if they killed Vic, Vic would have not been where the boss needed him to be. Even more absurd is the fact that the boss is also aware in advance that Vic is having Lasik that day, making it the worst day ever to pick for such a scheme. There was basically no chance Vic could pull off the investigation in that state, and even in the unlikely (it does happen in the movie!) case that he'd manage to show up blind as a bat at the drug deal and get killed as intended, nobody investigating would ever believe that someone with a major drug deal on his hands would have gone through eye surgery the same day.

Continuity mistake: In the sequence when Vic trips on the camping tent and Stu pummels him with feminism, different takes have been used, and you can easily tell the objects on the ground change place, generally consistent with each angle. For instance, all the shots from a certain angle have a certain frying pan directly in front of the counter where Stu was lying down, but are gone in the others. (01:01:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Stu throws baseball bats at Vic, the type of bat he's holding change more than once between shots. When Vic asks for a time out, for instance, Stu has a metal bat with a black handle that turns into a full wood one in the side view (also with the grip switched from the very bottom to a few inches higher), and then back to metal. (01:00:00)

Other mistake: The strip club the protagonists visit is, according to what Bautista says, in Compton. They are outside the joint a couple minutes before 3 PM. From there they need to go to Amo Cortez's place. When they arrive in front of the house, Batista grabs the keys and you can take a peek at the phone in charge; the address is highlighted and it is 111 Drysdale Ln, which would be in Orange County and 20-30 minutes away from their starting point, but the phone goes 'ping!' the moment the door closes, and shows it's 4:05 PM. Considering Madame Titties only mentioned a gang and not an address, and Batista earlier ordered to head to Long Beach (pretty weird place to go for a gang called Alamitos 13, obviously they'd be based in Los Alamitos), one could think that there's a part of the investigation not shown...but the phone showed a long uninterrupted course instead, with an estimation of 45 minutes of drive. (00:33:05)

Continuity mistake: In his escape from the cops at the beginning of the movie, we see Iko Uwais drop down 2 floors from the 8th, where Bautista and Gillan are. One more in the overhead POV. Another one in a separate shot. Another shot again, another floor down. Then he drops another floor. Then Batista hits him with the tray making him fall 2 floors, but we see with that shot the difference between the two, and it's of 5 floors. It does not add up. (00:03:35 - 00:04:20)

Continuity mistake: In the first confrontation with Tedjo, he kicks away Vic's glasses (obviously from the wrong distance, as there's no way that kick would connect) and they fight some more. When Vic misses with his punch, Tedjo kicks him in the chest, doing it with the left foot, that becomes the right foot in the following shot. (00:02:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Throughout the scene when Angie tells Vic about the Feds taking over the case, Vic's paperwork (the mugshot, the photo) change spot a few times. When Angie stands from the desk, Tedjo's mugshot is on Vic's cake's platter, even, but it's nice and clean back on the folder right after. (00:10:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Vic is chatting with her daughter at the Chinese restaurant. He tells her to stop breathing (the way she does it, at least). Cut to a brief reverse shot when she is eating from the chopsticks; she is replying to him immediately, mouth completely free. In that spot of the convo you can pick up more inconsistencies, like the hair on/off her shoulders, and next Batista's chopsticks held up that disappear during the following cut. (00:13:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: On the window of the Spinster gym there's a blow up of the "LA Tattler" magazine. The date on it though is 9 August 2018, wrong in year (the movie is set in 2019) and also I'd say in month, considering that Becca signed the contract on the 27th and the events happen on the 28th; in other words, in August the gym would have not been open at all. (01:26:15)

Factual error: Before the scene in the stable begins, John is pushed into the building by a series of cars cornering and ramming him. The order is given by two men speaking in Italian, but it's Italian with all the wrong cadence showing the words are not understood, and a pronunciation so bad words are barely recognizable - and wrong, like "Diteglie." (00:24:20)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: Throughout the movie, the Skrulls need Vers for her memories. But the first action they take is sniping at her from a rooftop, then the agents of SHIELD go into the mission saying explicitly they have a "Dead or alive" order, and Talos himself shoots at them with a gun.

Sammo ★

Factual error: The internet cafe Vers visits runs a piece of software even more cutting edge than the brand new, still beta version of Windows 95; Netscape Navigator 4, a release from 1997 - certainly not 1995, when it still had very squared highly recognizable buttons and icons of a different color than those portrayed here. (00:35:15)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: One already wonders how fast can SHIELD possibly get to the facility itself once Fury pages them, but when Fury and Vers get into the archive, the clock shows it's 2 PM. After a few minutes browsing, he gets a message on his pager from Keller simply saying the message has been received. He leaves 'for a minute' apparently to go greet them (already?) and comes back; when he walks into the archive the clock shows it's 3 PM. (00:46:15 - 00:51:00)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: It's a common narrative device, but through the black box recording, Vers/Carol "remembers" things that extend past the point when she was knocked out unconscious. The black box can't have recorded Yon-Rogg and Minn-erva's conversation after a crash and an explosion of a device that disrupts electronics, or SHIELD would have known everything about the aliens already in 1989.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Fury pets Goose when he first meets it; his right hand has a habit of being in inconsistent positions between shots (Goose paws his hand down but it's still up after the cut; Vers calls him by name and in the close-up he has both hands on the furry neck of the critter, only to be shown with the right hand down at the cut). (00:45:48)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: For being a ruthless race of conquerors, every Kree in this movie is awfully cautious when pulling the trigger. From the kree soldiers who don't shoot the prisoners who were already set to be "ejected into space" (instead of being shot on the spot) nor the space monster attacking them with tentacles, to Yon-Rogg and Minn-erva who do not shoot Carol when she is about to destroy the engine (Minn-erva especially should have no problems doing that and it's the whole purpose of a sniper). The best bit about the shooting idiocy happens when "Just a girl" starts playing, and Minn-erva with 2 soldiers armed with rifles from an elevated position do not shoot their precision rifles but rather jump down on the same level as Carol for absolutely no reason. Which soldier with a rifle would get closer to the enemy?
