Revealing mistake: When Tom and Anna were jogging on a dirt path, the woman going in the opposite direction who passes them on the right would be walking straight into the kids (and woman) who were running past them on the left - but the woman on the right disappeared behind Tom's back where the collision would have occurred if she were really there.

Revealing mistake: Late on in the film; Arnie and the female officer kick in the door to one of his teams house. Unfortunately Arnie is in his 70s now and not as agile as he used to be, the door was open and simply pushed hard. Look at the door, it has no damage and neither does the frame. Also, the door barely opens past a hard push. As tactically trained operatives they would not have pushed the door if it was ajar either, they would have opened it slowly to avoid startling anyone inside and warning them.
Revealing mistake: When James is getting on the St. Charles street car at Carondelet it's raining, but on the north side of Canal St, people are walking in shorts and with no umbrellas.
Revealing mistake: JR is in the weapon container of the crazy dealer, who passes him some of his goods. JR ends up holding in his right arm a MP5K and an M4A1, which combined are about 5 kilos, but then he passes him an M60 Machine Gun, which weighs over 10 kilos and that the relatively diminutive protagonist just handles throughout the scene gripping it with his left hand and making no effort whatsoever.
