Continuity mistake: The police van with Matrix inside pulls away from Cindy and drives for about 30 seconds including the fact that Cindy fired two rockets at it, and, yet, when it stops it is still much too close to where they began and this is even after someone misfired a rocket at them.

Suggested correction: A couple of things to point out here. First, the vehicle is a police van, which is going to be slower to accelerate than a car. Not by much, but enough. Secondly, the two cops are distracted by Cindy, thinking she is a hooker and is about to flash them. "I think she's got something for us." The cops are driving slowly at this point, note the speed of the passing streets. Then when she fires the first rocket, it causes both cops to look around to see what was happening - again slowing down.

Continuity mistake: At the shopping mall when Sully does the cash exchange (in the envelope) he picks up the money and puts in his pocket, then in the open shot it's back on the table. (00:32:00)

Corrected entry: In the dealership, Cooke never shifts the Cadillac into reverse, and yet instantly starts backing up after he says he likes "the price." The car would have had to be in Park or Neutral in order to be cranked up and would not start in gear. (00:02:50)

Corrected entry: How exactly did Cindy manage to get a hold of the rocket launcher after the police arrested Matrix? Why didn't the police put every weapon back in it's place and prevent such things from happening again?

Corrected entry: When he is attacking the house near the end, a stuntman falls off the roof, unfortunately you can see a hint of blue crash mat as he lands. (01:12:30)

Corrected entry: Matrix uses a bulldozer to break-in the front window of the army supply store. A highly trained operative like Matrix doesn't know how to quietly pick a lock? (00:51:30)

Corrected entry: When Matrix is holding Sully by the ankle over the cliff to get the information from him, just above Sully's head you can see an arm holding a microphone. (00:39:30)

Corrected entry: A general point which might apply to many films like this; why does Arnie round up so many different guns with incompatible ammo, why not just get one decent weapon and carry lots of ammo for it. Mind you the guys on the island have to face the same logistical nightmare with AK47s plus 9mm, 7.62mm and 5.56mm weapons all in evidence.
