Bad Boys

Continuity mistake: When Marcus and Mike are chasing the bad guys who have Julie, the sun changes between shots - while the bad guys are getting away in the cab, in the background you can see it's sunset, but in he next shot the sun is shining back again. (01:37:25)

Bad Boys mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Mike and Marcus go to meet Sanchez and Ruiz on the steps, Sanchez is sat down holding a doughnut (or something) in his right hand and a coffee in his left. A few seconds later, when talking about bongos, there's a close up shot and the items change hands. Back to a wide shot when Mike and Marcus enter they switch back. (01:41:30)

Continuity mistake: After the truck smashes through the drug deal location, there's a brief intermission with Julie trying to open her cuffs, saying "Go, go, go," and then Sanchez fires at a bad guy on the scaffolds, killing him. A few seconds of hectic action pass, Julie detonates the barrels, and Marcus looks up and shoots another villain on the scaffolds. As he falls, you can see another one close by; it's the same guy who died earlier. (01:44:50 - 01:45:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the final car chase - in the close-ups - we see Marcus turning the steering wheel quite far from side to side. With the speed they are going that would make the car slalom severely - and probably go out of control. At that speed only very small movements of the steering wheel are necessary (and safe). (01:50:00)

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: After Fouchet is hit, he still manages to crawl a bit on the tarmac, his head well away from the painted part in the overhead shot. When Marcus taunts his "punk a$$," the close-up on Tcheky Karyo shows him against the white painted asphalt. (01:51:54)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Fouchet dies with a dramatic close-up of Tcheky Karyo tilting his head to the left as he draws his last breath. Then an overhead shot just shows him facing up. (01:53:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After Mike has killed the bad guy at the end, the distance of the bad guy's hand from the gun changes instantly. (01:53:10)

Continuity mistake: When Marcus Burnett drops Julie Mott off at Mike Lowery's apartment it's dark outside. When he leaves shortly after, there is daylight outside.

Suggested correction: I'm confused. Daylight outside where? Marcus is shown in the lobby; artificial lights on, no windows. Then he is at his house; lights on downstairs, blinds down, he is there to sleep and has to do that on the couch. Then it's the morning after.

Sammo

Plot hole: Why was $100,000,000 worth of heroin sitting in the police vault all this time before the bad guys stole it? Wouldn't the DEA have taken possession of the drugs long before that?

Trivia: Pretty much all of the dialog between Martin Lawrence and Will Smith was ad-libbed. The original script can be found here: http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Bad-Boys.html, as Don Simpson and Jerry Buckheimer thought it would be better and more funny.
