Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning of the film, Frank and Tony are in a car driving and talking about Danaka smuggling drugs in her genitals. In one shot, Tony is holding his cigarette in his left hand. A couple shots later, within a very shot time, it is suddenly in his right hand.

Continuity mistake: In the scene after Frank and Fritz make their drug deal, Tony hands Flo the bong and asks her about the girl smuggling drugs.

Continuity mistake: While talking with Flo, Frank muses about how Tony is fixated on Danaka smuggling drugs in her genitals. He has his left hand up in the air holding a cigarette that is lit.

A couple shots later, his left hand is up in the air again holding a cigarette. (00:05:35)
