Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: Ben is posing as the Nigerian consul. James punches him in the face one time; after he says "Oh, God", there's a close-up of the bouncer looking flummoxed - notice that at the edge of the frame Ben's got James' hand on his face. In the next shot he is propping him up under the armpit, though, and in the close-up prelude to the second punch he's again with his hands on his face. (01:01:10)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: When Olivia Munn is supporting Ben stunned by James' punches, her handbag is in her right hand, behind his back, but in the next shot she holds the bag in her left hand, on the front. (01:01:20)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: At Pope's party, once they have talked about the possibility of a Gucci toilet, the trio of good guys is looking at the crowd, spotting Pope. Olivia Munn is not on Kevin Hart's arm in the wide shot, it is in the closer view. (01:02:15)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: Waiting outside the club after AJ's escape, James and Ben are talking and Ben is trying to say that he totally did not want to have a good time with hot women around. In Ice Cube's reaction shot Kevin Hart brings his hand forward, but he still has his arm stretched out in the next shot. A moment later Olivia Munn arrives, and there's another slight continuity jump; she dismounts from the pick-up and Kevin Hart looks away from her turning towards Ice Cube, but in the closer angle that follows, he's staring at her, hand raised. (00:39:50)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: When Ben picks his jacket up and walks past Maya and James to go towards his car, Olivia Munn goes from having her arms down her sides to a pose with her hand on her hips, instantaneously. (00:41:30)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: In the car bomb stunt, Kevin Hart slides off the hood twice in two separate shots and gets up leaning against the police car with his left hand in two different spots, curled also differently. (00:42:10)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: The brothers in law bicker in front of the massage parlor. There's a specific shot when Kevin Hart takes about 3 seconds to talk about Cory being "the devil's spawn with lady parts." When the camera is back solely on Ice Cube, the same big dude with a black tanktop who was walking behind him is still walking, but starting from the same exact spot as earlier. He made no progress at all while he was off-camera. (00:45:50)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: At "Beach Kitten Inc.", the receptionist offers a bottle of water. Behind her, a girl wearing a orange bikini is the same girl that is walking behind Ice Cube in the reverse shot a moment later. (00:46:30)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: James' approach to Tasha from the swimsuit models joint is failing right from the start, and his 'brother' takes over. He puts a hand on his shoulder, it's visible in the next shot that he lowers his arm, but he's still in the same position as before with the hand on his shoulder at the next cut. (00:47:00)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: When the default Apple ringtone plays, there are continuity errors with Tasha's hands. She has her left hand on her mouth (you can tell even if she's in the foreground) when he points out what the sound is, all of a sudden. And seconds later when he says "That costs absolutely nothing!" her raised arm switches from right to left. (00:48:00)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Factual error: As it happens in many Hollywood movies, we have a gun that is "ceramic" (actually a polymer, "plastic" as Ben corrects himself later) that is entirely stealthy, able to fool the metal detectors at the entrance of a building. It's not an imaginary high-tech device, but is explicitly referenced as the FN Five-seveN handgun (here called repeatedly as FN Five point seven). The metal detector would still pick up the metallic parts and the bullets. (00:40:25)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: In the foot chase, Ben falls on his butt frightened by a big dog on a leash, is up on his feet in the background when AJ topples the table by the pool, has yet to get up in the shot that follows. (00:30:20)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: The brothers in law have just captured AJ after the foot chase. AJ is trying to make Jason mad. Ken Jeong's hair is not consistent between shots; look for instance when he leans in saying "The sex part. Think about it." He had messy hair across his forehead a moment before, now it's all gone. (00:33:00)

Other mistake: In the World Youth (part I) story mode section, during the cutscene going by the title "Sao Paulo try-outs" there's dialogue between Roberto Hongo and Tsubasa where the two lines "This will be my first step... in Brazilian football" come from Brazilian coach and former star-player Roberto's mouth, when it's Tsubasa that should say it, being a Japanese youngster who just arrived in Brazil. The cutscene even ends with an artwork of Tsubasa saying that very same sentence.

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: When AJ irritates James chirping "Me so horny" in his ear, the car comes to a full stop and AJ bumps his head. At least in theory, since it appears it's more a camerawork effect than the car actually coming to a screeching halt. In the close-up within the car, Ice Cube is also holding the wheel firmly with both hands up, in the 10 and 2 position. But in the wider angles the person in the driver seat is holding the wheel more casually than that. (00:33:55)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: When in the club AJ introduces the lady friends who are totally not prostitutes, Ben has both hands on the Assface phone in the wider shot but just one hand on it in the closer angle that leaves his head out of frame. (00:36:35)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: Ben is taking a picture of AJ between two strippers and their gazongas. AJ, facing some stereophonic chest compression, says "I can't breath no more"; next to Ben's phone you can see the non-prostitute holds her drink with the right hand. In the last shot that girl is holding it in the left hand. (00:36:50)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: AJ calls for the toast for Ben; the escort sitting next to Kevin Hart claps her hands along with the others for "Toast! Toast!", but in the following shot her hand that was up in the air to clap before the cut is suddenly back on his shoulder. (00:37:20)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Character mistake: Ben counts the bullet the hitman is shooting in the club. His count reaches "13,14..." but the killer shot already 15 shots by the point his count begins, and he suddenly squeals "He's out" when he hasn't shot a fifteenth by his own count. It's funny that he does that anyway though, since the FN Five-seven the villain uses has a magazine capacity of 10, 20 (the standard) or 30 rounds. He wouldn't be out of bullets at that point. (00:38:20)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Revealing mistake: In the foot chase between Ben and AJ, they go past some clotheslines, then run down an alley. The shadows in the reverse angle don't match the footage from the front. Also, in one shot Ken Jeong is doing a bit of a swerve towards the right of the screen that is not consistent with the view from behind (looks like he is dodging the camera filming him: his character needs to go in that direction anyway, but only a couple of shots later). (00:28:55)
