Continuity mistake: Jane is back at the dinner table after supposedly recovering from her illness. In the wide shot of the room, Mrs. Bennet says "I know of no-one who is coming." Mr Bennet at the other end of the table is sitting back, hands off the table. But, he answers in a close-up, where he is buttering his toast. (00:32:35)

Plot hole: Jerico locates the doctor using the "phone tracking software by the CIA" from a public library computer. There's enough of Pope's proficiency with computers in him to block from remote any attempt from the CIA headquarters to look into what he's doing precisely (does not sound like it's a standard function to have, obscure agent activity from their own HQ!), but not enough to delete the history from the computer when he's done. Not just that, but through that search done at the library presumably several minutes earlier (the CIA agents have to physically go to the public library and search the computer terminal) he is able to locate the doctor, who is walking down a street. Finally; why would the doctor they flew in overnight from the US have a UK mobile number as shown on screen?

Plot hole: Jerico leaves Jill's house to go to the university, driving her car. While he's away, Elsa pays her a visit and extorts the location. When we see Jerico at the university, he enters the book cellar, finds the famous duffel bag almost immediately, and as he exits, outside there's Heimdahl sitting there, having set him a trap. That would already been hard to swallow, but we could assume his location was significantly closer than Jerico's to the university library and Elsa phoned him. But becomes downright impossible when we see that to pull the lever of the Home Alone-ish trap there's none other than Elsa, miraculously arrived at his destination despite him having a huge headstart.

Plot hole: The CIA is desperately trying to find Pope's contact, to the point of doing the crazy experimental brain surgery shipping over the ocean the one scientist that may perform it, and an inmate. But they don't have Pope's house under surveillance or his phone tapped, so they have no idea Strook called him. The fact that Strook not hearing back from Pope would try to contact him was quite literally the most obvious possible event. (00:31:00)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Showing the submarine Strook "hacks", the movie displays "USS Virginia SSN743." USS Virginia is SSN774, while SSN743 is USS Louisiana. (01:13:10)

Factual error: The villain performs his hit at the beginning of the movie by remotely changing the GPS destination of a cab, so they head to the wrong place and into an ambush. Assuming that neither the cabbie or Pope notice the change on screen, and that his sophisticated software silenced the voice announcement of the course being recalculated, and makes the new place also marked as the old one (it is after all a god-like movie software), the trick is done on on a London black cab, whose drivers are notorious for "The Knowledge", aka being required to learn the entire topografy of the city in one of the most demanding training courses in the world, and not using GPS. It'd be definitely unlikely for the cab driver to be totally unaware, to the point of Pope himself noticing first that they are at the wrong place.

Factual error: The bad guy's henchwoman reads the license plate as "SI52JGN", he repeats it as such but on screen he types "S152JGN" (with the second character as a number 1 and not a letter I). I (like Q and Z) is a letter that can't be used in the first 2 digits of a UK license plate, anyway. (00:04:45)

Other mistake: Vic is helpless as Morris is bleeding to death on the sidewalk. She has her feet on a manhole in the view before the Staples, but in the overhead shot it's him with the feet on in it. On a sidenote, when he is helping her out and the passersby are seen, on the left you can spot by the Italian place under the umbrella a few extras who are having a great time and laughing, not bad for being 20 feet from a shootout and with a dying cop in front of them. (00:05:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Vic's colleague brings him the plate with the tiniest piece of cake, the red fork switches side between shots (it also gets upright in the next shot 'stabbing' the cake instead of lying on the plate, but that could have been done by her out of frame, even if it's not a gesture that makes a lot of sense). (00:08:55)

Plot hole: The 'real' villain needs Vic to investigate the drop and be there, so he'd be killed in an incriminating spot. Problem is, the boss also throws in a deadly ambush by a whole gang early in the day; if they killed Vic, Vic would have not been where the boss needed him to be. Even more absurd is the fact that the boss is also aware in advance that Vic is having Lasik that day, making it the worst day ever to pick for such a scheme. There was basically no chance Vic could pull off the investigation in that state, and even in the unlikely (it does happen in the movie!) case that he'd manage to show up blind as a bat at the drug deal and get killed as intended, nobody investigating would ever believe that someone with a major drug deal on his hands would have gone through eye surgery the same day.

Continuity mistake: In the sequence when Vic trips on the camping tent and Stu pummels him with feminism, different takes have been used, and you can easily tell the objects on the ground change place, generally consistent with each angle. For instance, all the shots from a certain angle have a certain frying pan directly in front of the counter where Stu was lying down, but are gone in the others. (01:01:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Stu throws baseball bats at Vic, the type of bat he's holding change more than once between shots. When Vic asks for a time out, for instance, Stu has a metal bat with a black handle that turns into a full wood one in the side view (also with the grip switched from the very bottom to a few inches higher), and then back to metal. (01:00:00)

Other mistake: The strip club the protagonists visit is, according to what Bautista says, in Compton. They are outside the joint a couple minutes before 3 PM. From there they need to go to Amo Cortez's place. When they arrive in front of the house, Batista grabs the keys and you can take a peek at the phone in charge; the address is highlighted and it is 111 Drysdale Ln, which would be in Orange County and 20-30 minutes away from their starting point, but the phone goes 'ping!' the moment the door closes, and shows it's 4:05 PM. Considering Madame Titties only mentioned a gang and not an address, and Batista earlier ordered to head to Long Beach (pretty weird place to go for a gang called Alamitos 13, obviously they'd be based in Los Alamitos), one could think that there's a part of the investigation not shown...but the phone showed a long uninterrupted course instead, with an estimation of 45 minutes of drive. (00:33:05)

Continuity mistake: In his escape from the cops at the beginning of the movie, we see Iko Uwais drop down 2 floors from the 8th, where Bautista and Gillan are. One more in the overhead POV. Another one in a separate shot. Another shot again, another floor down. Then he drops another floor. Then Batista hits him with the tray making him fall 2 floors, but we see with that shot the difference between the two, and it's of 5 floors. It does not add up. (00:03:35 - 00:04:20)

Continuity mistake: In the first confrontation with Tedjo, he kicks away Vic's glasses (obviously from the wrong distance, as there's no way that kick would connect) and they fight some more. When Vic misses with his punch, Tedjo kicks him in the chest, doing it with the left foot, that becomes the right foot in the following shot. (00:02:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Throughout the scene when Angie tells Vic about the Feds taking over the case, Vic's paperwork (the mugshot, the photo) change spot a few times. When Angie stands from the desk, Tedjo's mugshot is on Vic's cake's platter, even, but it's nice and clean back on the folder right after. (00:10:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Vic is chatting with her daughter at the Chinese restaurant. He tells her to stop breathing (the way she does it, at least). Cut to a brief reverse shot when she is eating from the chopsticks; she is replying to him immediately, mouth completely free. In that spot of the convo you can pick up more inconsistencies, like the hair on/off her shoulders, and next Batista's chopsticks held up that disappear during the following cut. (00:13:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: On the window of the Spinster gym there's a blow up of the "LA Tattler" magazine. The date on it though is 9 August 2018, wrong in year (the movie is set in 2019) and also I'd say in month, considering that Becca signed the contract on the 27th and the events happen on the 28th; in other words, in August the gym would have not been open at all. (01:26:15)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Before the scene in the stable begins, John is pushed into the building by a series of cars cornering and ramming him. The order is given by two men speaking in Italian, but it's Italian with all the wrong cadence showing the words are not understood, and a pronunciation so bad words are barely recognizable - and wrong, like "Diteglie." (00:24:20)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: Throughout the movie, the Skrulls need Vers for her memories. But the first action they take is sniping at her from a rooftop, then the agents of SHIELD go into the mission saying explicitly they have a "Dead or alive" order, and Talos himself shoots at them with a gun.
