Deliberate mistake: When Frank is fighting in the doctors surgery, both he and one of his attackers easily get thrown through walls, yet Lola's shots later don't penetrate to hit Frank when he's hiding in the storage cupboard.

Continuity mistake: When Frank does the big jump from the car park roof and lands, the bomb under the car should have been torn off.

Continuity mistake: At the doctor's office, Lola shoots up a police car, damaging the passenger doors, and destroying the light bar on top, then steals the car. When arriving at Audrey's house, to get into Frank's car and kidnap the kid, the police car she is driving has an intact light bar on top. When Frank leaves the driveway, and accelerates away, the police car is hit, but once again the light bar is shot up, and there are bullet holes in the passenger side doors.

Continuity mistake: When "Lola" (the lingerie-clad assassin) forces her way into Frank's car and makes him drive at gunpoint, her heavy black eye makeup is smeared under her eyes. Throughout the scene it changes from being a very wide smudge to just being a little smudged under her eyes.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Frank's fighting the guards with the fire hose, one of the last guys to attack him (in a red shirt) runs up very close to the Frank, who then backs away maybe 5 feet. In the next shot that same person with the red shirt is now about 15 feet away and charging toward Frank.

Continuity mistake: During the final battle, after Frank and the bad guy roll around the plane the first time, Frank pins him against the wall and punches him. But in one shot his hands flip and he is hitting him with the opposite that he was in the previous shot.

Continuity mistake: At the very end of the garage scene, Frank picks up his gun from the floor and it's noticeably different (more resembling a Desert Eagle) than the gun he dropped.

Deliberate mistake: In the doctors surgery, Frank protects himself with a door from Lolas shots, yet the bullets don't penetrate the thin plywood door. It can't be a fire door because you can see inside the door through the holes made by the bullets.

Continuity mistake: The bomb attached to Frank's car is very close to touching the ground, surely when Frank exited the car park quite swiftly, it would have been ripped off.

Continuity mistake: The Audi's W12 logo switches place in the grill in some of the scenes, look when they drive on the beach.

Continuity mistake: When Frank reaches in front of the tire to grab the vile, it's sunny. In the next shot as he's walking back towards his vehicle, it's dark and has started to downpour. This change would not have happened so quickly.

Factual error: When the jet crashes into the water, the amount of force would have just disintegrated the plane instead of having an intact body with wings attached that only had the rear ripped off.

Deliberate mistake: During the chase up the parking building, we can see Frank and Lola, but Jack in the back is barely visible, and when he is, it's quite clear that he was added during post-production or was just a dummy. This is probably due to safety reasons.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, when the hoodlums are trying to steal Frank's car, in one shot the man getting into the driver's seat is standing outside the car, but in the next shot he is already getting inside, and about to close the door.

Continuity mistake: Frank and Jack arrive at Audrey's house and Lola enters the Audi. She opens the window and uses her guns. In the following shots the window is sometimes open, sometimes closed.

Continuity mistake: In the plane fight scene before splashdown, the plane was falling and turning/tilting as shown from the outside, but when the scene changes to the inside the fighters are standing straight.

Continuity mistake: Some guy puts a bomb under Franks car because they managed to escape, yet when he escapes from the cops (with Lola in the car), the bomb isn't there. A while later when the kid has been dragged out of the car, he looks under it, and sees the bomb's reflection in the floor.

Continuity mistake: When Frank is arriving at the school to pick up Jack at the beginning of the movie it shows him pulling up to the school and there are no other cars parked on that side of the street. When it cuts to show him sitting in the car waiting, there is a car parked behind him. When it cuts to outside again, there is no car behind him.

Continuity mistake: In the car chase after the doctor's, the bomb on the bottom of the car stands out while Frank drives away, but in the chase where you get a lot of low angles the bomb is very obviously gone. Then it appears again when leaving the boat yard / docks ready for the crane scene.

Continuity mistake: During the escape from the police the Audi's headlights switch between being on and off repeatedly.

More quotes from The Transporter 2

Trivia: The scene where the drunkard sees the car go above him and thinks it's just his imagination is a homage to the Bond movies "The Spy Who Loved Me", in which a character has the same reaction when the car drives out of the water, and "For Your Eyes Only", in which that same character has the same reaction when Bond skis overhead.

More trivia for The Transporter 2

Question: Why was Frank evading the police after managing to escape the bad guys? Couldn't Audrey tell them that he was on their side?

Answer: The police will just get in the way and slow things down too much. Frank can operate outside of the law and get more done and get it done quicker. Plus, they can't just take Audrey's word for it.
