Continuity mistake: At the very beginning, just after Max puts the photograph on the visa, the shot cuts to Max's boss holding a Coke with his right hand and the other hand is down by his side, but in the following shot he has his hands crossed in front of him. (00:02:35)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Annie hands Max her business card, you initially see the car window lowering and then stopping halfway down. In the next shot the window is still moving; a moment later the window is still in its halfway-down position and stopped again. (00:12:45)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, when Vincent first approaches Max's cab, Max reaches up to the visa in his taxi with his left hand. When the shot goes to Vincent, it's now Max's right hand, not his left. (00:13:35)
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the film when we see Max pull up to the first hit location and Vincent is talking to him in the back; watch closely and in one shot we see that Vincent has his hands below (probably on his knees), but in the following shot we can see his left arm is now up and grabbing onto the glass that separates the driver from the passenger inside a taxi. (00:16:25)

(00:29:20)
Factual error: When Max and Vincent are at the second contract killing destination, Dispatch calls and Vincent is holding the receiver. In one particular shot he does not release the button on the side of it and we hear Lenny speaking. This would not be possible: he would have to release the button first to hear what Lenny is saying. (00:29:55)
Continuity mistake: When Vincent and Max pull up to the second hit location the windshield is no longer cracked. Best viewed when paused. (00:30:00)
Audio problem: Just as the two criminals who robbed Max are walking away, Vincent asks them if that is his briefcase. The guy with the long hair replies, "Yeah it is. Why you want it back?" but his mouth doesn't match what he is saying. It appears he is saying something closer to, "Put up your f**king hands." (00:35:15)

Continuity mistake: At the third contract killing, where Max and Vincent are sitting at a table in the jazz club with Daniel (the owner), watch the glass and receipt on the table, in one shot both the glass and receipt are on Daniel's side, then in the following shot both the glass and receipt have moved across the table somewhat to Vincent's side. (00:39:45)

Continuity mistake: When the feds are on the way to the club to protect their witness, the lead agent has his walkie talkie by the side of his head. When the shot goes to outside the cab, he's putting the walkie talkie to the side of his head again. (01:11:45)
Continuity mistake: As the feds and Max and Vincent arrive at the club, there is a shot from the feds car of the taxi pulling into the side street where the club is, the shot goes back to in front of the cab, and they are just turning in, even though in the previous shot they should already be in the street. (01:14:50)
