Snatch

Factual error: At the end of the film when Turkish and Tommy are at the spot where the caravan site use to stand, some police officers come and ask them what they are doing. When the police officer shows his badge which is held in a leather wallet, the badge he shows is one of the royal crest and in London a police officer carries a badge with portcullis symbol on.

Other mistake: When Tyrone gets into the car, he accidentally bumps heads with Vincent, who is sitting in the back seat. Robbie Gee's look of surprise is undoubtedly genuine.

Suggested correction: While I agree that this was likely unscripted, if we are just looking within the world of the movie, Tyrone just accidentally bumps Vincent, and Vincent reacts like most people would.

Continuity mistake: When Brick top first visits Sol and Vinny, Brick top's henchmen are lining the outer office with plastic sheeting, and laying out their fat accomplice, yet nobody inside hears this.

Suggested correction: They are listening to Bricktop and there is a smaller room in between with both doors shut.

Continuity mistake: During Mickey's second boxing match where he has water poured over his head, the position of his hair changes between shots.

Other mistake: Why does Boris remove and carefully wrap Franky's arm after he's cut it off? It would have been easier to cut at the wrist, therefore removing the need to take a bloody and very odd shaped parcel with you.

Suggested correction: It's a pretty good point you bring up, and as many times as I've seen the movie, I never thought of that. And apparently, neither did Boris. This was a character decision, and one that falls right in line with his flair for the dramatic. We later see him casually walk out of his house with a huge gun and proceeded to walk down the street. I'm sure an arm attached to a briefcase was of no concern to him.

Continuity mistake: When Cousin Avi, Tony, and the big henchman are driving after bagging Boris, the big henchman is playing with a knife while they talk about killing Boris. The next time we see the henchman he is holding a sabre of sorts across his torso. After they crash, the sabre is going directly into his chest. This would not have happened unless at some point he held the sabre with the tip directly towards him.

Continuity mistake: Before Boris shoots Frankie Four Fingers, he reaches for his gun, then from the different angle he is still fiddling with his earplugs, not having yet reached for the gun. Then back to the original camera angle where the gun is in Boris' hand ready to shoot.

Continuity mistake: When Vince and Sol rob the bookies, you see Sol wipe himself off twice, on his right leg. But, when Bricktop and his henchmen are watching the video later, he wipes himself about four times, differently than before.

Revealing mistake: During Cousin Avi's 'travel sequence' there's a quick shot of him downing some medication with a drink (it occurs right before the shot of the Concord screaming towards the camera). If you look closely it's clear the glass he's drinking from is empty.

Continuity mistake: When Boris gets hit by the car we see it twice from different perspectives, but twice from inside the car that hits him. The way his body goes over the front of the car is completely different in both shots.

Plot hole: The final boxing match when Mickey is supposed to go down in the 4th is wrong. In the 3rd round, when Mickey is down, Turkish says that all he has to do is stay down. That would be just as bad as Mickey knocking him out.

Revealing mistake: When Bullet Tooth Tony shoots Boris the Blade in the pub, the prop gun misfires on the second shot - there is no flash but we hear two shots and something falls out of the barrel revealing it to be a prop gun.

Turkish: It turns out the sweet talking, tattoo sporting pikey was a gypsy bare knuckle boxing champion. Which makes him harder than a coffin nail.

Trivia: Not a mistake, but a little extra. When we first see Doug the Head in the bar drinking and getting his lunch, the man on the right, reading the newspaper is director Guy Ritchie.

Question: Turkish is always going on about ''Ze German's''. Is he referring to the War?

Answer: Basically, yes. He says it once when he discovers Tommy is carrying a handgun, which are not at all common in England, where they are outlawed. More the kind of thing a Brit would expect from a war-hungry Nazi. Later on he refers to it again just to mess with Tommy.
