Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Bobby finds a bit of a messy situation by the bar, when a scuffle ensues as drunk patrons try to jump on the counter to join two topless chicks. During the scene, Jumbo holds his plastic cup high up with the arm stretched, or lower, and the distance between him and the scared guy with the white jacket changes. (00:05:10)
Continuity mistake: There's a close-up of the Russian that is bleeding on the precinct floor; notice his switchblade is on the floor really close to the pool of blood. Mark Wahlberg arrives a few seconds later, and the blade is at greater distance, and the bloodstain around the person's arm is slightly smaller. (00:27:40)
Continuity mistake: Vadim Nezhinski is asking Bobby to help him with the drugs, and tells him that they are gonna 'fix' all the cops that get in their way. Behind Joaquin Phoenix you can see the same waitress walk towards a door twice, the second time in particular the aisle was shown in the reverse shot a moment before, she is appearing out of nowhere. (00:41:30)
Continuity mistake: When the gunman leans out of the car window to shoot Bert, the license plate on the back of Bert's car reads 'A564N2'. Just before Bert's car crashes head-on into another car, his plates read 'KVD622' (the other car's plate is 'G823N4'). (01:16:40)
Continuity mistake: When Amada and Bobby are on the bed kissing and Amada gives Bobby a gift, he pulls the gold necklace out of the box and says it's beautiful, then begins kissing her without putting it on, but in the next shot, the necklace is around his neck.
Continuity mistake: During the chase sequence, the car driven by Bobby is missing its hubcaps. When the chase ends, the hubcaps are back in place.
