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.

Bug: If you switch from playing Michael to Trevor, there is one occasion in the game where Trevor has a man tied to a support beam underneath a pier. If Trevor chooses to use his Jerry can and spills gasoline all around the man and sets it on fire, the tied up man catches fire, however, a glitch occurs in the process. The man catches fire, screams, then somehow pops straight out of the ropes keeping him tied up and starts running around. The rope has also not changed shaped and still remains stretched out at the front. The man then suddenly pops back into the ropes and stays tied up before he dies.

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.

Plot hole: Cleaning out the Bureau: At the garment factory, Michael arrives, agent Dave Norton arrives and later in the scene, agent Steve Haines arrives at the building, walks up the stairwell and says hello to the others. Apparently, the plot has completely forgotten that Steve had shot himself in the leg in the mission "Monkey Business" a few missions prior, to make himself appear as a double agent - he is walking around completely fine in this mission as if nothing happened.
Suggested correction: Maybe he quickly recovered? Sometimes injuries heal quickly.

Trivia: Fresh Meat: When Trevor arrives at Franklin's house, he leaps over the fence, but ends up tripping on the fence and Franklin starts laughing. The moment where Trevor trips was never scripted. What happened was, when the scene was being filmed, the motion capture performer for Trevor, Steven Ogg was supposed to leap over the fence, but ended up tripping on the fence and the motion capture performer for Franklin, Shawn Fonteno broke out laughing. Trevor's rant at Franklin after this was then made up by Steven Ogg himself.

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.

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.

Bug: Go to Franklin's first house in the neighbourhood and have Franklin place a sticky bomb anywhere on the walls or ceiling in the hallway and place the bomb by throwing it from the front door. After the explosive is thrown and lands on the wall, a slight glitch in the animation occurs. The entire explosive won't actually be visible on the wall. No matter where the shot is angled at, the beeping red light on top of the explosive will always be visible, however the rest of the explosive won't actually be in sight. If the angle of the shot is rotated, the explosive will appear from different views, but still a glitch nonetheless.

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.
