Continuity mistake: When Gibbons asks Agent Toby Lee Shavers to fit the rocket he picked from the car into a personal weapon, Michael Roof holds the rocket in two different ways (grip on the pipe or between the fins) depending on the camera angle. (00:20:10)

Sammo

Other mistake: Gibbons and Stone have been been together in the same car for over 15 hours at least, from Kansas to Washington DC, and at Lo's they still talk as if they haven't exchanged a single word. (00:19:15)

Sammo

Other mistake: We know exactly when Darius escaped from prison; 12:06, so, at noon. The moment he gets in the car, he asks to enjoy some carnal pleasures with a burger, and so we see them in the next scene at the burger restaurant...at night. And they haven't talked about anything yet, not even where are they going. So...it's completely unexplainable what they've been doing all afternoon and how could they restrain a hungry Ice Cube all that time. Just a random time skip. (00:13:30 - 00:15:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ice Cube reverses the Gibbons' "Three strikes" speech, the waitress behind him keeps changing position throughout the scene, serving the table to the right of the door, or to the left, back and forth. (00:14:40)

Sammo

Plot hole: Movies constantly cheat with helicopters that suddenly and silently arrive to save the day, but the scene goes beyond that; Ice Cube is fighting guards on the rooftop of the military maximum security prison at Fort Leavenworth. He suddenly jumps off the roof to catch the passing helicopter. Without even mentioning the noise problem, which is obvious and huge, that helicopter would have been spotted already by radars, prison snipers, the same guards that were battling Ice Cube, it flew in plain sight of a military installation! And raised no wind at all on the terrace flying at jumping distance from its ledge. (00:12:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ice Cube fights three guards on the rooftop, the light varies significantly; just look at the guards when they are on the ground, the first one in particular, and where the shadow of the building extends. (00:12:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After for some incredibly silly reason the sniper does not shoot Darius thus ending the movie early, the convict jumps off the roof and finds more guards to beat up. He faces the first one, punches him, a new one joins...only, not, since the next shot is of Ice Cube kicking some more the first, while the second is just now coming out of the door giving him more time to kick more butt. (00:12:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Darius Stone is fighting the first two wardens, the ones who have him in cuffs. One of them decks the other by mistake with the baton; the stuntman goes down on the ground next to Darius, face first, in the wide angle, but the actor is limp with his back to the door in the next shot. (00:11:00)

Sammo

Other mistake: As they drive away from the base stormed by the mysterious invaders, Gibbons mentions that they need to get "off the grid." His watch indicates it's 12:45. The Secretary of Defense informs the President. Who, shocked, reschedules the budget meeting; the clock of the room signals 3:30, but the attack, in Virginia so not in a different timezone, "just" happened. (00:04:30 - 00:07:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The President's assistant asks him the first time we see him "Roses or tulips?" George appears out of the blue in the next shot despite being barely (perhaps) visible at the very end through the side door, while the other people in front of the President were exactly where they are in the new shot. (00:06:30)

Sammo

Stupidity: The highly trained commandos who knew everything about the NSA base and penetrated it during a perfectly planned operation through weapons and devices that pierce steel like butter, decided to stand outside the barn (so they knew something valuable was there) and its wooden door. It even has a direct line to the command center.

Sammo

Character mistake: When the drone looks Gibbons in the eye, the 'elevation' data keeps fluctuating wildly between 33 and 39 meters, which is obviously wrong. Besides, they are underground. (00:03:10)

Sammo

Character mistake: The officer at the control room screen mapping the advance of the invading force tells Gibbons that they've covered all the halls, but looking at the map it's simply not true; if the man is a highly qualified professional, he is doing a terrible job, because he provides no help and paints the situation under the wrong light not telling the responders where the bad guys are coming from and all the areas (about 2/3 at that point) that are still secure. (00:02:40)

Sammo

Other mistake: Gibbons asks for a lockdown, and on screen several doors appear in the map of the facility, in red, but the villains move undisturbed for big corridors past huge metal doors that would have easily slowed their path down if they closed. The movie does nothing to establish if they managed to prevent those doors from locking up, and how - they did not hack the system, they broke in blasting holes from the surface. (00:02:00)

Sammo

Character mistake: The bad guys at the beginning of the movie launch a drone that scans for target. The woman's data appears in the HUD and it says "Stacey Canon - Interpol REGISRTY" (00:02:20)

Sammo

Other mistake: In Story Mode, "World Youth Championship 3-1", the section "Netherlands no.1 in the World" concludes with the whole team shouting in unison (there's also an audio clip with the quintet of characters reciting the line at once), but the line is wrongly attributed to an unspecified "Teammate."

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Shredder unbalances Donatello in the fight his left foot is close but not inside the large shadow area, but Michelangelo attacks him right away and despite his lack of movement, now that foot is in the shadow cone. (01:20:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The Turtles are making fun of The Shredder's name once he announced it. Look at Michelangelo when he recites the coleslaw joke; his bandanna goes down the right side of his back, but it's on the left side in the next shot. (01:19:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the Turtles strike a pose after they wasted all the Foot soldiers before their big showdown with The Shredder, the ninja lie unconscious at their feet in different position. Even the roof is lit differently. (01:18:20)

Sammo

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mistake picture

Revealing mistake: Michelangelo dodges the axe a Foot clan member swings at him by hiding his head into the shell. When he knocks his assailant out with a backhand, you can see a large gap between the mask and the rest of the suit. (01:17:30)
