Continuity mistake: At the marina, where the villains are discussing their plans, the same boat goes by twice in the background.

Continuity mistake: When Bobby and the other guy drag Selkirk out of the water, on the left you can see Jesse joining them to help. In the next shot, Jesse is now running frantically towards them to assist.

Continuity mistake: Right after Swoop tackles Earl, Pete is laying on the gurney with his hands on his stomach and the yellow straps across his chest. In the next shot, he is covered up to his neck by a blue blanket, with no time in between to have this happen.

Factual error: There is a shot with Wesley Snipes and Gary Busey aiming one another just to pull the triggers and discover that the guns are out of ammo. In fact, after the last shot (of the pistol, not the movie) the slide of a semi automatic pistol is retained open by the empty magazine, and doesn't return forward as we can see in the shot (of the movie, not the pistol). The reverse mistake is very common in movies, when the armorer loads just one round to be shot (in the movie as well as the gun) and the actor keeps fighting or menacing with an unloaded, breech opened gun.
