Corrected entry: When Stoney goes to the cocktail party with her boyfriend, she introduces herself to the couple as "Lady". A moment later, the man she is talking to says, "So, Stoney...." calling her by the wrong name.

Correction: Keith (Underwood) and his coworker see each other every day, and have a friendly relationship. On the limo ride over, Keith tells Stoney "we've been seeing a lot of each other". It's very plausible to say that Keith has been referring to her by name in conversation with his coworker, likely even told him he was bringing her to the party. Plus the coworker remembered her when he saw her, definitely stands to reason that she has been mentioned in many conversations between the two guys.

Corrected entry: Near the beginning, Cleo pulls her car into the parking lot and the girls immediately start lying on it. The engine would be way too hot to be able to do that.

Correction: Not if she didn't travel that far.

Corrected entry: Desert Eagle guns are EXTREMELY strong guns when fired, and if you fire one, you have to be pretty strong to hold even one gun because you can get knocked back a good distance. I have a very hard time believing that Cleo was able to fire two Desert Eagles at the same time without being pushed back a little.

Correction: Just because one has a hard time believing it, does not make it a mistake. Especially in this instance. I have a very easy time believing it. Cleo is big & tough. Who knows, she could even lift weights in her off time. There is nothing wrong with this scene.

Correction: I just don't see the mistake here. Stoney wears her hair the same way Jada Pinkett does.

Also with the "braided" hairstyle, in the scene where she is in her living room and hears gun shots, when she lifts her head, you can see that she is wearing a wig. Must have been a shot retake that happened after she cut her hair in Mexico. still a great movie.

Corrected entry: When Cleo burst through the restaurant from the bank. You can see the SUV's tire marks on the floor before she hits the wall.

Correction: You sure can see em! That's because she tried to stop before hitting the wall, thus leaving the tire tracks. They were made from braking in reverse.

Audio problem: During the second robbery, when TiTi is on the floor, the obviously dubbed vocals don't coincide. One is of TiTi saying "Let's go." She's on the floor, obviously not saying anything.

More trivia for Set it Off

Question: Why did Stony and Keith never meet up in Mexico at the end? Stony just lost 3 dear friends on top of the 3 family members. Wouldn't she want to be with the last person in the world that knows she exists?

Answer: If someone disappears after committing a serious crime, they must cut past ties to avoid being traced. That includes ending any past romantic relationships that could lead police to their whereabouts. Stony would also not want to ensnare Keith into a life of being on the run, and possibly get him arrested. Their relationship was short-term and likely would not have survived such a stressful and tumultuous scenario. It seems unlikely Keith would give up his stable personal life for such a situation.
