Continuity mistake: The chronology of the date stamp used during the police camera footage is accurate, starting from 04/11/11 and ending at 08/17/11. However, officer Taylor fills out his paperwork after a bust dated 8/19/12.

Continuity mistake: When Brian and Mike are checking out of the burned mini van, if you look out on the street you'll see the Detectives' crown vic still parked out by the street, but then they roll up and it's the same car.

Continuity mistake: Early in the movie there is a fight scene between one officer and a thug. After the officer wins the fight he says "gimme the hooks" meaning the handcuffs. When he first gets the handcuffs, he holds them way high in the air, his hand extending above his right ear. Then we switch to a rear shot and you can see that the officer is now holding the handcuffs straight ahead, not way up in the air.

Factual error: Very early in the movie, in the locker room shot, one of the officers begins to show off his gear to the camera. One of the items he boasts is a "Spyderco tactical knife." The knife is actually a Smith & Wesson first response assisted opening knife, model SW911B. (00:04:45)

Brian Taylor: I am the police, and I'm here to arrest you. You've broken the law. I did not write the law. I may disagree with the law but I will enforce it. No matter how you plead, cajole, beg or attempt to stir my sympathy. Nothing you do will stop me from placing you in a steel cage with gray bars. If you run away I will chase you. If you fight me I will fight back. If you shoot at me I will shoot back. By law I am unable to walk away. I am a consequence. I am the unpaid bill. I am fate with a badge and a gun. Behind my badge is a heart like yours. I bleed, I think, I love, and yes I can be killed. And although I am but one man, I have thousands of brothers and sisters who are the same as me. They will lay down their lives for me and I them. We stand watch together. The thin-blue-line, protecting the prey from the predators, the good from the bad. We are the police.
