57 continuity mistakes - chronological order

(3 votes)

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

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

Continuity mistake: James and Maya open the cargo container and find pile of of drugs and weapons stashed there. Ice Cube holds the automatic weapon in different ways depending on the angle (just look at the strap), and when Pope gives them a shout you can see also Olivia Munn reach for the gun (which is on the cargo bed) using her hands in a radically different way. (01:24:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: AJ distracts the baddie that was shooting Ben with his assault rifle, and Ben manages to gun him down. The man dies falling in two different parts of the street - just look at the cracked section of the asphalt. (01:26:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When James quite anticlimactically shoots down Pope's lead henchman to save Maya, he is completely in the open in the last shot of the sequence, but he was leaning for cover against the container all the time before, and was never shown moving, quite the opposite. (01:27:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: James holds Ben by the vest for the big climax - but also by his jumper, when the shooting is over. (01:30:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The brothers in law are shaking hands with Captain Hernandez in front of the district. There's a woman with long brown hair and carrying a purse. She keeps passing them by walking up the stairs, twice with a friend with a purple top, once on her own, and comes down the stairs not too long after. She's not the only extra recycled / passing a few times in succession, for instance a bald black man in a dress shirt. (01:31:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When a drunk AJ tells Ben "Happy Kwanzaa, sorry for your loss", a woman in a black and white dress, with a tattoo on her arm, passes by them twice. (01:33:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When at the wedding Ben calls Maya "handsome" and James drinks from his glass, said glass is in his left hand at first, then changes to right mid-gesture. (01:34:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Kevin Hart and Ice Cube meet Olivia Munn after the car explosion after the bachelor party club scene, Olivia Munn's hands change position between shots to either by her side, hands on hips, or arms crossed, with no time between to change position. (00:40:30)

James Payton: No, I'm an expert on bullshit.
