Now You See Me 2 picture

Character mistake: Dylan is showing Agent Cowan and the FBI director the pictures of the pigeons and Dylan and Cowan start arguing, while the FBI director continues to look at the evidence on the Four Horsemen. Whilst looking there is an article reading "FBI Investigation Stalls." On the first column of the article, it is mentioned that all four members of the Four Horsemen, J. Daniel Atlas, Henley Reeves, Merritt McKinney and Jack Wilder, all disappeared into thin air at the final magic show, and gave the audience fake dollar bills. By the time of the final magic show, Jack had faked his death and was presumed dead, so only three members of the Horsemen were present, not four. (00:08:55)

Ride Along 2 picture

Character mistake: Ben counts the bullet the hitman is shooting in the club. His count reaches "13,14..." but the killer shot already 15 shots by the point his count begins, and he suddenly squeals "He's out" when he hasn't shot a fifteenth by his own count. It's funny that he does that anyway though, since the FN Five-seven the villain uses has a magazine capacity of 10, 20 (the standard) or 30 rounds. He wouldn't be out of bullets at that point. (00:38:20)

Character mistake: When April and Casey are in the interrogation room April says she wants her phone call.
