Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: When Mike is being randomly racist against the two Hispanic cops in front of the police locker, Will Smith's hands are close to his body, thumbs up, and he is half a step behind Martin Lawrence. One of the cops answers him with a "yo mama" joke, but in the foreground Will Smith's hands are in a different position and Lawrence is more distant from him and slightly behind. (00:13:50)

Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: At the breakfast table, Marcus asks Mike, "Why you put me in this, man?" His son is picking a bit of food from the plate. The phone rings across the camera cut, and the sentence continues ("I'm with my babies"), but the kid's hand is off the table by his hip. He's back chewing on the food, with that hand raised only when, a few seconds later, the exact camera angle from before is used again. (00:11:35)

Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: When Marcus is trying to convince his wife to give him some in the morning so he can be lighter on his feet, Martin Lawrence is sprawled with his left arm over the pillows in close-up, but in the wider angle he is in a much more normal position with his arm by his torso.

Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: When Martina Lawrence calls the bulky carjacker on his side a "big Popeye chicken-eating motherf…," the gun popping in frame from the top is held by a left hand. When the scene is shot with the camera on Will Smith's side, the guy is holding his gun with the right hand. It switches again, left or right depending on the camera angle used. (00:02:35)

Visible crew/equipment: When the bait hooker gets out of the car at the beginning of the movie, the lighting rig is reflected in the right car door. (00:01:55)
