Continuity mistake: When Lundgren bombs the prison bus, the aerial shots and the close-ups have nothing in common: In the aerial the bus is in a very narrow space next to a huge cliff, with nothing around but sand and rocks. In the first close-up the bus is rolling in a wide field, no sign of the cliff. In the second close-up a wooden fence and a house-shaped sign suddenly appear, only to disappear in the third close-up.

Continuity mistake: The prison bus has a huge blood splatter next to the driver's seat, which changes to a line of blood seconds later.

Continuity mistake: A guy lands on the pool table and covers up all the balls with his body. Therefore the close-up where a bunch of balls come out of nowhere and get inside the hole is senseless (well, the entire movie is, but you know what I mean).
