The Other Guys

Factual error: After the stationary 3D scene of the wild night drinking. There is a city skyline scene. The film is set in New York and the skyline scene is actually of Boston. Check the buildings from the right hand side. Recognisable ones you see in order:- The I.M. Pei Building. (with the arch on it.) The Prudential Building. The new John Hancock Building and then just at the base of it, to the left and partially obscured, the distinctive original John Hancock Building.

Bluey

Factual error: In the film they refer to a robbery in progress as a 211 at beginning of the film. The problem is that's the California Penal Code for robbery, not New York. New York's Penal Code for robbery is 10-30.

Factual error: When Gamble and Hoitz go the David Ershon's accounting office in Fairlawn, NJ, every car in the parking lot has New York plates. A bit hard since Fairlawn is near Paterson, NJ, and is located in Southeast Bergen County. After the office explodes the fire dept. shows up in fire trucks in yellow w/blue striping. Fairlawn Fire Dept. fire trucks are red w/white striping or white over red paint.

Continuity mistake: The car is replaced with a grey door after it is in an accident. When you see the car on a train to Las Vegas the car door is red again. Every time you see it after this it is back to being grey.
