Revealing mistake: When Jack drives the bus down the alley, it knocks a series of A/C units off a building. The last one comes open and there is obviously nothing inside. (01:12:35)
Revealing mistake: After the hostages are released and Eddie runs back to the bus, Jack opens the front doors to let him back on. Before he touches the door handle, it is pointed all the way towards the back of the bus. With the handle in this position, both the front and rear doors of the bus would be open already.
Other mistake: When Bruce and Mos Def are running through the alley near the beginning, they run past a Chinese man who slams a dumpster lid shut. Once Bruce pulls out his gun to look back, that same man starts running because he gets scared. In the next shot, he continues running, but soon stops as if he thinks filming is over. This is visible right before the camera pans to the right.
Jack Mosley: Oh yea, you give the car keys to your best friend and you let him take the old lady to the hospital. You stay at the bus stop with the girl because she's the girl of your dreams, right? So everything is going to be ok.
Trivia: When the bad guys are chasing the bus and people are screaming, you can hear a Wilhelm scream during the scene. It happens around the time the tires are shot out.
