Bad Boys

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?

Plot hole: Marg Helgenberger's investigation reveals that the mole has called Club Hell from the precinct. However, if you look at the scene, the villains are not expecting them (Casper spots them practically by accident and asks out loud what the cop is doing there; Noah looks incredulous), and they are even having their ether traffic in the open at the club front. Note that technically it does not say that a call was made before the blitz, but considering the mole knew about it first-hand, it's unfathomable they wouldn't tip them off. (01:23:15)

Plot hole: The movie would have been over in barely over half an hour if the detectives could access the file of Eddie Dominguez. It contained the revelation of who the mole was, which unlocks by itself access to the villain at the end of the movie. It's never explained (nor justified) in the movie why this file would be so secret and out of reach for the Bad Boys, other than to keep the plot going.

Continuity mistake: When Marcus meets Julie Mott she attacks him with a bat. He takes the bat off her and moves to leave. The next shot of Julie Mott sitting on the floor shows the bat in the foreground. Cut back to Marcus still holding the bat and he asks her, "Look lady, you ain't got no more bats, do you?" (00:35:00)

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.
