Revealing mistake: Marriage Counselling: Just after Michael and Franklin return to the house after thinking they have outrun Martin Madrazo, the game cuts to a cutscene showing a wide shot of them approaching the house, and Michael thanking Franklin. When this happens, an animation error occurs where the shadows of the house and trees alter on-screen.

Continuity mistake: The Big Score: Once Franklin has drilled down the wall between the underground construction site and the bank's vaults, Franklin will have to blow down the cages where the gold is contained. After blowing down the cages, there will be a hole in the door for the others to take the gold out of the vaults and the NOOSE team will appear to take everyone out. If Franklin is killed by the NOOSE team, he will have to drill down the wall and blow the cages all over again. When Franklin goes to blow down the cages, the cage doors are now in the position they were in when they were blown off during the previous attempt, even though Franklin hasn't actually gotten to this part yet.

Continuity mistake: The Bureau Raid: After celebrating at Lester's house, Michael leaves whilst Franklin and Lester are celebrating together. Michael then receives a call from Dave. Franklin is never shown exiting the house, but if you choose to switch to Franklin after making the call, he is suddenly shown walking around Los Santos, even though he was just shown celebrating with Lester.

Bug: Reuniting the Family: After Michael and Jimmy have picked up Tracey from the tattoo parlour, Michael drives them in his car to Dr. Friedlander's office. On the way, if Michael chooses to do a stunt jump off the Jetty Hotel, the car is mostly invisible, and the only part actually visible is the car's outline. As the jump progresses, the car becomes more visible, until the car is fully shown.

Casual Person

Revealing mistake: Just before you enter the Jetty hotel, there is a short driveway you drive up before reaching the parking garage. There are yellow lines along the side of the driveway, however, they are never shown from each angle of the camera. If the shot is rotated around, there is an angle where the yellow lines will just vanish, and there is an angle where the yellow lines will appear.

Casual Person

Other mistake: The Merryweather Heist (Offshore Approach): At the end of the mission, Franklin, Michael and Lester exit the airstrip and Trevor is still there. Trevor, in rage, bashes his head repeatedly on a wooden crate lid. Blood visibly appears on the crate lid. However, there is not a single drop of blood visible on Trevor's face.

Continuity mistake: Paparazzo - The Sex Shoot: Franklin and Beverly run back to Beverly's car with the sex tape footage, they then enter the car and drive off. When Franklin enters the car, he is shown entering the door to the left back seat, behind the driver's seat. We don't actually see him enter, but he is not shown entering the right side door of the back seat and he was definitely on the back row, as shown when he then tries to film Poppy driving, so he definitely entered through the left back seat. After they have filmed the footage of Poppy chasing them, Beverly stops the car to allow Franklin to exit. Franklin is now sitting in the right hand side back seat.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Paparazzo - The Sex Shoot: Franklin walks up to Beverly just before the opening cut scene begins. As Franklin is walking up, Beverly is shown holding his camera pointing forwards, slightly to the right. The scene then cuts to the opening cut scene and Beverly is suddenly holding the camera much more to the right.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Paparazzo: After Franklin and Beverly have stopped the rival photographer, Franklin then has to drive Beverly to his next stakeout. Franklin stops Beverly's bike in the car park for Beverly to get off. At the moment where the bike stops, Beverly is shown holding his camera with one hand whilst he holds on to Franklin. The scene then cuts to the cut scene where Beverly is suddenly shown holding the camera with both hands.

Continuity mistake: Scouting the Port: After arriving at the docking area in the truck, the security guards begin attacking Floyd and Trevor runs off with a briefcase. When the guards begin attacking Floyd, Floyd and the guards are shown in front of the truck and also in front of the gate. The scene then cuts back to the game where Trevor has to escape and suddenly, Floyd and the guards are shown behind the gate.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Scouting the Port: When Trevor and Floyd arrive at the docking area, they are stopped by the security guards before they can enter. There is a gate shown right in front of where they stop and the gate is open. The gate is never touched once in the cut scene but when it cuts back to the game, the gate is suddenly closed.

Casual Person

Bug: There is a garage in the apartment building of Wade's cousin, Floyd where Trevor can save the vehicles he parks there. There is one space where a vehicle can be parked in the garage and that space is located next to the staircase. The car that is parked there may not be big enough to park and will end up getting wedged between the stairs and three bins shown next to the wall if the space between the stairs and wall isn't big enough. If Trevor walks into the car, the three bins next to the car will then start sliding up the car.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: The playable characters in the game, Franklin, Michael and Trevor can receive injuries. These injuries can be seen when they are travelling through Los Santos, travelling through Los Santos during a mission, or travelling through Los Santos to get to the next mission. However, on some occasions, when the cut scene for the following mission begins, the injuries appear to have vanished.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Repossession: Franklin and Lamar must chase down a man who stole their bike in their car. One of the ways they can stop this man is by running him over with the car. Once Franklin goes back for the bike, the body of the man is nowhere in sight. This only applies as long as the thief had been run over with the car.

Casual Person

Other mistake: Vinewood Souvenirs - Al Di Napoli: Trevor gives the souvenirs he stole to Nigel and Mrs. Thornhill in a paper bag. The souvenirs he got them were a gold tooth, a dog collar, a golf club and clothes. The paper bag is far too small to include each of the items. He may have been able to fit the gold tooth and dog collar into the bag, but the golf club would have been too long to fit into the bag and the clothes would have been too big to fit into the bag.

Other mistake: Scouting the Port: Just after removing the portrait of Floyd's girlfriend on the wall, Trevor takes out a marker pen and starts drawing the heist plan with only that. The wall is then shown and a series of photographs, a classified document and strips of duct tape are visible on the wall with the drawings. The problem is, Trevor only had a marker pen on his hands. He was never shown sticking any of these items onto the wall.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Scouting the Port: When Wade picks up the portrait of Floyd's girlfriend, he grabs the lower left hand section with his left hand and grabs the middle of the bottom section with his right hand. The shot cuts to a different angle, where Wade's right hand is now closer to the right hand side of the bottom section.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Scouting the Port: When Floyd returns to the apartment after Trevor and Wade have discussed the heist plan, Trevor begins to say "We are going straight to the local union rep" whilst walking around the counter.
