Mission: Impossible - Fallout

Stupidity: After the team break Solomon Lane out of custody, they drive around Paris with him in the front seat of their car. Lane is still wearing a straightjacket, bound in chains and has a black bag over his head. The IMF team drive him through crowded streets, past multiple police cars in full view of everyone just minutes after an armoured convoy transporting a dangerous prisoner (who everyone is now looking for) has been attacked. None of the Parisian police seem to notice this and none of the IMF team questions the tactical soundness of this approach.

Suggested correction: What's stupid about this approach? The IMF team is trusting that with their skills and experience they can easily evade any police that spot them. Which of course they do. Placing Lane in the trunk would have kept him out of sight but that doesn't really matter because they weren't planning on sneaking him out, they were planning on a quick escape.

Stupidity: At the start of breaking Lane out of the truck, none of the drivers or passengers have their faces covered with the hockey masks. Stupid as these would be the first people the police see.

Continuity mistake: When Benji is sitting back to back with Soloman Lane to duplicate Lane's face, his jacket is green, then they cut to face Luther asking whether Benji is OK, when they cut back, Benji's jacket is the same brownish color of Lane's jacket. Later, Benji wears the green hued jacket again when talking to Luther and Elsa. (01:23:30)
