Continuity mistake: When Korda runs from the cable car, Roper and McCall chase after him. Then Roper remembers he lost his gun. McCall pulls out his backup gun and holds the gun's grip as he hands it to Roper, but in the next shot facing Roper, McCall now holds the gun's barrel in his outstretched hand.
Continuity mistake: When Roper and McCall are in the Cadillac during the car chase, the windshield's rearview mirror repeatedly vanishes and reappears.
Continuity mistake: In the run-away tram scene the camera shows a group of scared passengers. One of them, who is holding a real dog a few shots before is holding a stiff, stuffed dog and is waving it around.
Continuity mistake: When Roper tells Captain Solus that McCall will only last two weeks, McCall reads his lips and tells Roper he will be there for more than two weeks. However, Roper was facing Solus when he mentioned the "two weeks" so McCall could not have been able to see his lips.

Continuity mistake: In the runaway streetcar scene Korda has a bag over his left shoulder the entire time.

When they resume the fight, the bag is on his shoulder again.
Continuity mistake: During the fight on the cable car, the cable car passes the same liquor store 3 times (the same light blue car is parked outside it). Also, in one shot, the tower with the huge antenna in the background is nearer, even though the cable car has careered further away.
Continuity mistake: The car that overturns in front of the cable car changes between shots, evident by the different marks and license plates.
