Continuity mistake: Right after the side panel van disappears in the left hand lane when Fait is trying to outrun the navigator, the camera angle changes again and you see Fait turning back into the right hand lane. In the left lane the side panel van has reappeared. You see a police car directly in front of the van. The camera angle changes yet again, and you see an overhead shot of Fait passing a different car in the left lane before seeing the police car. (00:28:07)
Continuity mistake: After the helicopter is shot down and crashes onto the pavement, shouldn't the windows in the helicopter be all broken or smashed? Yet there are a couple that are still fully intact. (01:29:00)

Continuity mistake: When the police surround the parking garage, you see them, via a television which is being watched by Fait's daughter, check and then wave through their blockade a dark gray car with a sunroof.

Other mistake: In the warehouse shootout the Asian woman grabs a Mac-10 from a random henchman that shouldn't be there, as they didn't have a 5th member.
Continuity mistake: When DMX is in prison with Jet Li and Caldwell is having breakfast, he cuts a piece of meat and sticks it on his fork. The camera cuts to DMX and when it cuts back Caldwell has now a piece of something that isn't meat (looks like a piece of pancake). (00:40:00)
Answer: Because he is connected on the outside. Money and infulence can give you a much easier life in prison, though this movie greatly exaggerated the fact.
