Continuity mistake: In the car chase, a bad guy shoots Ben and James' car saying it's "too easy", since Ben is signaling his turns. In that sequence you can notice the natural light changes suddenly between shots, and the street in the background is not the same, nor the intersection where the turn happens. (00:52:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ben spits out of the trashed hairy taco, extras around him have changed position - just look at the girl in a purple bikini on the beach volley court, the ball she is holding disappears between shots. (00:53:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The brothers in law have just retrieved AJ from the beach, but baddies on a BMW start chasing them. In close-ups James is holding the wheel using his left hand, since he is using his right to push Ben out of harm's way, but in the one external view of the action in between those closer angles, the driver is holding on top of the steering wheel a right hand. (00:53:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the car-chasing scene with the Jaguar, the pursuer drive three different cars, In real-life they drive BMW e92 M3 coupes, in game-graphic BMW M4 coupes. And that one which crashes right into the Volvo is a BMW e46 coupe. (00:54:00 - 00:56:40)

Revealing mistake: In the sequence with Ben faking a right turn and baiting the pursuant baddies into a bad left, as the car flips hit by the pick-up, you can see without need of slo-motion that there are no people in it, merely hydraulics. (00:56:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the gun standoff at Alonso's, AJ knocks off the table a set of tools. The action happens across two shots that come from two separate takes: AJ in the first one is turning towards the box and blatantly knocks it down himself, while in the second, he's looking away the whole time. Also, during the "What the hell?" moment it's on the floor, closed, when it obviously landed face down, open. (00:58:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the sequence with Alonso holding his chest where the bullet hit the vest, Arturo Del Puerto's hair is parted in different wisps above his right eye depending on the camera angle (each probably shooting one or more different takes of the same scene). He's also holding his hand off and then above his shirt. (00:59:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ben walks over to Alonso to apologize for shooting him, he's pointing at him in a shot, but he is not in the previous and following. (00:59:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ben is posing as the Nigerian consul. James punches him in the face one time; after he says "Oh, God", there's a close-up of the bouncer looking flummoxed - notice that at the edge of the frame Ben's got James' hand on his face. In the next shot he is propping him up under the armpit, though, and in the close-up prelude to the second punch he's again with his hands on his face. (01:01:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Olivia Munn is supporting Ben stunned by James' punches, her handbag is in her right hand, behind his back, but in the next shot she holds the bag in her left hand, on the front. (01:01:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At Pope's party, once they have talked about the possibility of a Gucci toilet, the trio of good guys is looking at the crowd, spotting Pope. Olivia Munn is not on Kevin Hart's arm in the wide shot, it is in the closer view. (01:02:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: For some reason, Olivia Munn decides to go create a distraction dancing with Pope. When she goes down the stairs, two women are ascending, but at the cut an entirely different one is coming up (who was also seen going down just at the beginning of the sequence anyway). (01:02:30)

Continuity mistake: In the footage inside the bathroom at Pope's, Kevin Hart is wearing a different sash from the rest of the party scene (or more likely, the same one but inside out by mistake). It's particularly obvious when he looks out of the window and the two patterns alternate depending on the camera. (01:04:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the scene with James calmly chatting with the waitress about the lamburger, he is using the left hand or not from shot to shot. (01:06:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Pope stops the trio as they are trying to slip away from his residence during the party. Filmed from behind, he is talking to them being to Ben's right, but filmed from the front, he's positioned between Ben and Maya, to the point that when he walks forward they have to make way splitting left and right. (01:09:50)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: AJ is looking through Pope's files. They various mails scroll by really fast but even without slo-mo it's fairly easy to pick up the fact that they are repeats, with the phrase "No mistakes this time" popping in more than once. Unless everyone is prone to mistakes in Pope's organization, it does not make sense. (01:12:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ben and James have stopped the "ghost" truck. Ben is gloating that it's their "first bust as the Brothers-in-law." Notice the cone of light under the vehicle, at the lower part of the car door. Next shot it's suddenly gone. The side of the pick-up keeps switching between lit or not, and in the last shot from normal height the doors are even fully open. In the aerial shot that comes after, just one door is open and the other closed. (01:16:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Lt. Brooks calls to announce that Ben's career is over. Ben walks away; in the aerial shot that follows, the cargo doors are open at different angle and the two policemen who were filling in reports by the guard-rail are missing. (01:19:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After James and Ben have been notified their punishment, the gang is in a bar, figuring out what went wrong. When AJ says "Maybe the container was made of coke", Ben's crossed arms switch position (look at the wristwatch). (01:19:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When AJ tells the gang that there's a shipment every morning, Ben goes "Let's do it." Olivia Munn in the foreground has her chin leaning against the back of her hands; next shot and no hands in sight. Likewise, she changes arm position when James tells Ben that he needs to talk and they move away. (01:21:25)

Sammo

James Payton: Now, you guys think it's gang-related. I say that's bullshit.
Maya: Because you're an expert on local gangs?
James Payton: No, I'm an expert on bullshit.
