Other mistake: Blanc gives Helen the piece of Klear that she uses to cause the large explosion. You don't see her actually getting it the first time, but you do see she is keeping something in her closed fist, which she keeps balled when she is breaking the glass sculptures. That's for the first part of the scene, at least. As it gets more frantic, she uses objects as clubs and eventually throws with an open hand pillows into the fire. She had no way to keep the explosive in her hand this way, and she gets it back only through the powers of flashback. She could have at most pocketed it (something the movie never shows), but look at the way she disposes of her jacket; there's no room for her to even do that. (02:01:35)

Other mistake: After Mike is gunned down, Captain Harris visits the AMMO team hard at work to figure out who could have done it. However, it seems unlikely that they are so dedicated to their job that none of them had time to change clothes when we see another briefing after Armando's three other killings, which happened across at best days, more likely weeks, or the six months of Mike's recovery. Everyone is wearing the exact same thing. (00:19:00 - 00:21:00)

Other mistake: Mike has a spycam in the locket, but Isabel tears it off his neck. However, the device immediately stops working. Unless the 5' woman crushed the actual metal instantly in her fist, it should keep working and broadcast at least the audio, even if she snapped the cord free. (01:39:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When Mike goes through Isabel's file, it says that she escaped prison on April 10, 2019. However, the scene is set on August 22 of the same year, 2019 (it says the date right there as it checks "the last 2 months" of phone calls with Dorn). Mike was shot at least 6 months before (it says "six months later" in the wedding scene, which is where he makes his reappearance after the shooting scene, possibly more time passed). Mike was shot only after Isabel got out of prison, so that's impossible. (01:24:30)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Mike's undercover job ends in 1995 and has to take place before Marcus and him work together. The first "Bad Boys" takes place in the mid-nineties (there's a 1990 calendar but also a Michael Jordan retirement reference, so it's safe to say it's supposed to happen between 1993 and 1995). Mike mentions there that they have been partners at the precinct for six years. Moreover, in "Bad Boys 2," Marcus' yearbook from 1988 has Mike's signature with the Bad Boys motto; they were friends long before the first movie. There was no room for nerdy "Michael" to disappear for possibly years without Marcus knowing and the subject coming up before.

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When Marcus receives the phone call from Theresa after the bad car 'accident', the phone screen is blank in the wide angle, and in close-up displays a 10:35 time, which is incompatible with what was already shown before. Moreover, Marcus's right hand changes position on it/off it between shots. (00:51:20)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: After the blitz at the warehouse, Mike finds Marcus' messages on his phone. The time is 10:35. He has a brief heated exchange with the captain and "that guy" (there's always one) in the AMMO crew. Then he finally picks up one of Marcus' calls at 1:19. It wasn't a 3-hour argument. (00:45:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: In the montage showing Mike and Marcus' parallel (but also wildly divergent) lives, Marcus asks Alexa to turn down the volume. However, the video he is watching pauses instead. In the next shot, it is paused again, but on a different frame. And before the fan goes haywire and hits the screen, the screen is already turned off (but the breaker hadn't tripped yet). (00:32:00)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Boyd calls an office in Rome, Inspector Lavazzi. Lavazzi is not in his office, so another officer, Valeria, answers the phone, saying a few lines in Italian (in the rest of the movie, she speaks English with Lavazzi). Shyann Yan is not a native speaker, which would be fine given her ethnicity, but she is also not a competent one. Surely, she is not competent enough to be an officer in Italy. (01:04:00)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: In the scene at the police department when Mike ends up pranking Marcus by pretending to flirt with his wife on the phone, the janitor keeps mopping the same small corner of the office for two minutes straight of screen time, and the same cops can be seen doing the same movements at least twice (for instance, one wearing a denim shirt and white tank top and one with a pink shirt). (00:56:40)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Marcus and Julie identify the correct suspect; it's one Noah Trafficante (his last name literally means 'smuggler', so you know he's up to no good). The profile says, "WANTED. Reward; £18,000 Reward Armed and Dangerous." Barely a minute later in the movie, in a scene at the police station, Mike asks for his parole jacket and Francine tells them he works at Club Hell. (00:56:10 - 00:57:40)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When Lupin brings the princess back to the palace by car after meeting Conan at the cherry tree, he drives by a street sign that says "St. SANTIHUU34" and one that says "idajfojafas;" Even if Vespania is a fictional country, it does not seem to have a fictional language, and we can say with sufficient certainty that semicolons do not belong in city or street names. (01:15:05)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: During the close-up of Jay's Mega Ball's receipts (just after he got the phone from the manager of his franchise), you can see the two receipts have different numbers but the exact same transaction details. (00:21:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: John Wayne is recruiting other victims of outlaw violence to assemble his Avengers team; he gives them handwritten notes saying, "Go to Hall's barn at ten o'clock tonight." Forgetting the fact that he somehow managed to find a dozen or more ace gunslingers with his same vengeance agenda in the vicinity of the same barn, it is obvious, looking at the two handwritten notes, that they were in fact written by very different hands, not by just one person. (00:12:50 - 00:13:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: In the end credits, the opera song is listed as "Ombra fedel anch'io." It's "fedele" with a closing E. While the apocope (elision) of the last vowel is perfectly acceptable in Italian, especially archaic literary Italian, the song (from "Idaspe," by famous castrato Farinelli's brother) is always listed with the final "e." (01:52:15)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When Beachum grabs the Nunally case file next to multitasking Flores, the date on the folder is November 5th, which is patently absurd considering the murder took place on the 10th, and the suicide the Monday after Thanksgiving. (01:37:35)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: One of the shots during the montage of Beachum driving to the hospital to try and stop the euthanasia is flipped; the writing on the desk is mirrored. It comes after Willy leaves Judge Gardner's yard and a close-up on Embeth Davidtz's face. (01:32:10)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Willy just rebuffed Nunally's offer of fabricating evidence. He listens to Nikki Gardner's phone call; he doesn't pick it up, it gets to his answering machine. After that, the answering machine tells him he has one unheard message (the 4:10 one from the hotel concierge), but it should be two: the hotel's and Nikki's. (01:13:20)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: In the case file folder that Crawford sent back to Willy, you can spot the hour of the arrest being marked down as 21:15. Considering the murder happened around 5 PM, according to the depositions, that's just wrong. (00:37:20)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The Italian version redubs the antagonist as "Thomas" and "Tom," localizing the movie title to "The Thomas Crawford Affair," in an obvious attempt to capitalize on the fame of the cinema classic "The Thomas Crown Affair." However, end credits (and obviously the police report) still list Hopkins' character as Ted Crawford.
