xXx: Return of Xander Cage

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the drinking game, Xander throws the liquor above his shoulder. Xiang then brings out the Pandora's Box; his left arm is flat on the table in the first shot, angled up in the second. (00:47:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Serena says about the Pandora's Box "Power like that doesn't belong in anyone's hands" Donnie Yen has his right hand at his temple, but immediately after he has both hands under his chin, then his temple again. (00:47:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Xiang tosses both granades back at Serena Unger and Xander Cage, Serena in the first shot holds the glass with her free left hand, in the second the same hand is flat on the table. (00:48:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the triple triple-X reveal, Xiang says "And I'll be damned if I am gonna let you take it back to the NSA", with both hands on the grenade. Reverse shot, and it's just his left hand. (00:50:00)

Continuity mistake: In the sequence when Adele Wolff disentangles herself from the makeshift harness she suspended herself in, the stunt double who spins around has much less fabric taped around her thighs compared to Ruby Rose's getup, and when it's Ruby Rose again shooting baddies close to the ground her richer double thigh draping is back. (00:54:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jane Marke tells Xander Cage that he's been "pissing up the wrong tree." Look at Ruby Rose in the background. She scowls and looks at her. During the next sentence there's a cut, and she instantly turned towards the annoying soldier guy Cage flushed out earlier in Eastern Europe (and that somehow has been in that briefing room maybe for hours without a single quip by Cage). (01:00:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In Detroit, Serena tells Xander the story of how she was enrolled in the XXX program. She just mentioned Gibbons' quote about the lion. The wind rustles strong through Deepika Padukone's large mane in a reaction shot on a probably very envious Vin Diesel, but in the next shot her hair is suddenly still again. (01:03:35)

Continuity mistake: After Tennyson's 200th crash selfie, we see Xiang chased by Xander. When Xiang tumbles in the alley, on top of a dumpster there's a carton half filled with green and white bottles. When he kicks it in Xander's face, the carton is filled with just green bottles. (01:10:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cage is In the building in Detroit with the crazy CIA director. When he shouts at him "So what are you gonna do about it, huh?" Vin Diesel's hand, his right thumb in particular, is in a different position from the previous shot - and finger position is particularly emphasizes during the rest of the scene. (01:13:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Once the rogue director dies, Xander and Xiang look down at his corpse. His handgun rests on the dusty floor with a couple of wood splinters and a pebble nearby, and the Box is by his torso, with a noticeable shadow cast on it. Jane Marke then kicks the gun away from a spot with none of the previous debris around, and picks up the box with no shadow in sight. (01:14:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Jean Marke picks up the Pandora's Box, she is wearing the pearl grey nail varnish she had during the air trip from the Philippines. When she reaches the plane after a short car trip, she is sporting a teal manicure. (01:15:00 - 01:16:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After apprehending Xiang and dragging him on the plane, Marke gets a phone call from 'the President'. Behind her, Xander Cage approaches; the military guys in the background move between shots. (01:16:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Xander receives the phone call from Serena that informs him of the failed jamming. When he says "Oh and tell Nicks..." he is holding the telephone in a different grip. (01:30:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the gang bids a silent farewell to Xander, look at Nicks in his close-up; in the background, Tennyson Torch is turning around towards his right, but in his own close-up, Tennyson turns towards his left, and Becky is close to him while she was nowhere in sight before. (01:33:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When we see Serena for the 1st time leaning against the column she is wearing high heeled black boots. Later when she is on the beach after Xander took Pandora's Box, she is wearing low square heeled boots.

Continuity mistake: Just before Ruby Rose spins down from her sniper shot, it's still night time. As she comes down it's suddenly much brighter, and very seconds later as the chase continues, it's broad daylight.

Continuity mistake: When we see Serena for the 1st time leaning against the column she is wearing high heeled black boots. Later when she is on the beach after Xander took Pandora's Box, she is wearing low square heeled boots.
