Bad Boys for Life (2020)

New this monthContinuity mistake: In the scene of the sniping on Mike and Harris, in close-ups, Armando's face is fully lit, but when Zway-Lo is in frame, the shadow from the side is wider and there's a thin shadow (from the post) intersecting his right eyebrow. (00:57:25)

New this monthContinuity mistake: The biker assailant and Mike crash onto a table outside the Broadmore Hotel. The area they land on is in a large shade. The biker recovers a moment later and gets up in sunlight. (00:52:30)

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

New this monthOther 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)

New this monthContinuity mistake: When Renny makes a splash on Theresa's car, the post casts a shadow on the radiator, next to an inch away from the Nissan logo. Mike and Marcus take their time to bicker for a few seconds, and when Marcus checks the car with its now embedded corpse, the shadow is already on a portion of the logo. (00:51:20)

New this monthContinuity mistake: Mike infiltrated the spa to try and stealthily deploy Marcus Jr, but he is spotted. Theresa was getting pampered with both hands crossed on her belly, the bow of her belt tied an inch away from her hands. In the reaction shot, her relaxed position begins with her hands on top of the bow. Moreover, she turns and raises her head in those close-ups, while from the other side she is still supine, back on the bed, masseuse's hands on her shoulders. (00:49:20)

New this monthQuestion: In his reaction to Rafe calling him "Grandpa," Will Smith says, "Just cause I f*ck your mother don't make me your Grandpa, right?" That's... not how it works. Wouldn't the joke be "Just cause your mom calls me Daddy," etc.? (00:46:30)

New this monthOther 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)

New this monthDeliberate mistake: To meet Manny, Mike walks through his store. The last obstacle is a PVC curtain. The camera has to go through the curtain, moving it and thus revealing its presence. However, it is definitely a deliberate artistic choice. (00:32:50)

New this monthOther 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)

New this monthContinuity mistake: When Armando uploads the video of the shooting, Mike goes down in a different way than the original sequence, and the passers-by in the background are also different. (00:28:55)

New this monthContinuity mistake: Mike proposes a toast at the wedding to his "bad boys for life" motto. Reggie and Megan raise their glasses over their heads in the wide shot, but they have yet to in their close-up. Notice also Captain Howard next to them, as he is in every shot from that angle, but absent in the wider one. (00:23:30)

New this monthContinuity mistake: The first time we see the AMMO base, Captain Howard is visiting it to be debriefed about the progress in the investigation. Dorn mentions that they are investigating 4Chan. There's nobody standing next to him to his right, but then there's a close-up of his hands typing away at the computer, and there's a slender arm with short sleeves by his side. Rita is at the other side of the desk and Kelly in that scene is wearing long sleeves. (00:18:35)

New this monthContinuity mistake: At the bar, Marcus and Mike begin their heart-to-heart talk about a family. Martin Lawrence's hands cross in different ways depending on the camera angle; when the camera is on Will Smith's side, Lawrence's left hand is lower on the table; when it's on Lawrence's side, he keeps it higher - watch his index when he's told about getting fat and breaking 'stuff'.

New this monthContinuity mistake: When Captain Harris calls for a toast, "To Marcus," the guy behind him is pointing his phone in a totally different direction. He was pointing the phone towards him; now he starts the shot with the phone pointed away. (00:09:00)
