Character mistake: When Brian, Roman and the thugs are racing to get Verone's package, Verone does a little research on them. When he looks at Roman's folder there are a couple of shots where they show information about him. If you look closely, you can see that in the last shot they refer to him as Brian and later on as "she". They also talk about his relationship problems in the next paragraph of the same shot. (00:31:50)
Continuity mistake: In Verone's background check of Rome, it shows a list of items he had purchased. It is mostly made up of renting Blockbuster Videos and the items were purchased in different states back and forth. (00:31:50)
Continuity mistake: When driving through the boat section of the impound, there is one shot of Rome where there is road and a river outside his car. Not boats. (00:32:20)
Continuity mistake: When Brian and Rome find Verone's red car at the impound lot, just after they get out of their cars, the Mitsubishi sign on the Evo's front is missing. In the next shot, however, it's there again. (00:32:30)
Continuity mistake: When Brian and Roman are at the car impound, Brian is searching inside the Ferrari, and Roman says "Look in the center." Roman is holding onto the side of the car and looking away from Brian, yet in the following shot he is now holding onto the top of the car and is looking directly at Brian. (00:32:50)
Continuity mistake: Rome rips his shirt off at the car impound lot and rips the last few the buttons off. When they are at Verone's place, his shirt is entirely done up. (00:34:10)
Continuity mistake: When Brian, Roman and Monica are at Verone's mansion, Roman is saying, "You were checking her out," Brian says, "Ok I was, now shut up," in this shot Brian looks away to his right, yet in the following shot, he is looking in Roman's direction. (00:34:35)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Brian and Roman get back to the mansion after getting the package from the Ferrari and are sitting next to the pool with their new boss, watch as he lights his cigar. He lights it, and it cuts away from him for a split second. When it cuts back less than a second later, the cigar is burnt down about an inch, as if the cigar had been lit for a few minutes. (00:36:10)
Revealing mistake: When Rome says "Let's see if you still got it, Brian," you can see skid marks on the road from previous takes. (00:36:20)
Continuity mistake: When Brian and Roman are driving into Tej's driveway at his garage after getting back from Verone's, if you look at the yellow 4x4 pickup, its front wheel is turned to the right, but in the following closeup shot it is now straight. (00:38:30)
Continuity mistake: When they are about to race against Fonzie and Fabio the two muscle cars, the blue one and the orange one, are parked in a line. Moments later, when Roman moves forward and stops there is only the orange muscle car there. (00:45:50 - 00:46:55)
Continuity mistake: In the middle of the film when Roman is about to race against Fabio, note his car is parked at an angle on the side of the road, yet when it gets in it and starts the car, he is suddenly on the road, we don't see him turn. (00:46:50)
Continuity mistake: When Luda is explaining the rules of the drag to Rome and the bloke in the Challenger, he has his hands on his knees, then in the following shot they're behind his back, then again in the next shot they're on his knees. All in quick succession. (00:47:00)
Visible crew/equipment: When the orange muscle car gets to the barrels in the drag race, there is an overhead shot where a camera is reflected very briefly. (00:50:30)
Continuity mistake: At the club, Monica and Brian are sitting at a table and when Rome walks up and says "He's here man," Monica looks at him and puts her right hand/arm up to her hair/cheek, in the following shot however her hand/arm is down, then in the shot after it's back up again. (00:54:15)
Continuity mistake: Just after Monica has gotten back to Verone's house after warning Brian, she is sunbathing. In one shot, she has her legs slightly up and in the next they are flat with the sunbed. Also, when Verone throws her sunglasses on her chest, in this shot, she still has her hands on top of her head. In the following shot, her right hand is down picking up the sunglasses. (01:05:50)
Visible crew/equipment: When the guys arrive at the house to get all the money, the silver 4x4 pulls up and the camera pans along it. When it does you can see the camera's shadow on the paint. (01:12:20)
Continuity mistake: When Brian Roman and two of Verone's guys are at the trailer park close to the end, on the road through the trailer park there is a speed bump, yet when Roman sets the Dodge off on its own, there is a view of the road again, and the speed bump has vanished. (01:14:05)
Continuity mistake: When the baddies make a hole in the wall to grab the money, the size of the hole, the hanging parts of the wall and the protruding isolation foil change between one shot and another without no-one having touched the wall. (01:14:40)
Continuity mistake: In the shots of Brian trying to remove the metal claw from his Evo, tyre marks are constantly appearing and disappearing from the road. (01:16:00)
Chosen answer: The detective was tortured because Verone needed a window of time without any police presence and the detective refused to allow it. The girl is just some random hottie that works for Verone.
