Deliberate mistake: In crime films, when the protagonist is being stalked by the villain and manages to alert law enforcement, it will always be only one cop showing up. This isn't how actual crime procedure works, as cops are required to work with a partner or backup in potentially risky situations, and the lone cop will always let their guard down or not observe their surroundings carefully enough. This gives the villain a chance to kill them and crush not only the hero's hopes, but the audience's as well.

Deliberate mistake: At the end of the film, two officers attempt to surround and handcuff Joshua. Using two officers to cuff someone is NEVER done for the exact reason of what ends up happening, as Joshua manages to grab a gun from one of the officers. Only one officer would have been doing the deed in the real world, but it's clear this error in being completely against police protocol had to happen so the good guys could prevail over the villain.

Deliberate mistake: Trains should stop when the engineer is killed or otherwise incapacitated because of a switch known as a "Dead man's" which is used in these events to stop the train. This mistake is often done purposely to keep the action going and for plot purposes. This is especially common in action films.
