The 51st State

Revealing mistake: In the "Mexican Standoff" between Felix's Jaguar and the Police Car (a Vauxhall Omega) both cars pass the same three parked cars in shot after shot after shot This because the alley the scene was filmed in is not as long as the movie makes it appear - so they repeated the shots of the Jaguar and the Police Car passing the same parked cars several times. (00:36:35)

Continuity mistake: Samuel L Jackson has Emily Mortimer dangling from the top of a night club. In the close up shots of their hands, Miss Mortimer is clasping onto Sam's bare hand but in the distant shots you can clearly see her dangling onto the cuffs of his jacket. You can notice this a couple of times. (01:04:40)
