Continuity mistake: Harpoon in hand, Xander yells to his driver "There's a bridge" pointing at a railway bridge with characteristic metal archways. "Cross the bridge!" he orders, and they do cross a bridge that is blatantly different, with no metal structure. (01:46:20)

XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: Asia Argento unties Xander with a knife she had strapped to her boots. In close-up, the boots are army-like with a dark olive color, but when she was sitting down, and even better when she later has to put her feet on the car pedals, she is sporting pointy camel-yellow boots. (01:35:30 - 01:45:40)

XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: Some potato carts are blocking the road. We see the accident spot and there are several people by the carts taking care of the injured driver, with very few potatoes on the asphalt. When Yelena fires the rockets, no people are by the carts anymore, and as they drive through the flaming wreckage there are many more potatoes - of course since the cart just exploded, but they are all perfectly still and not burnt, not looking at all like they come from a cart that blew up in an inferno of flames a split second before.

Continuity mistake: In close-up, Asia Argento's hand is in a different position on the GPS, more to the right, her thumb off the buttons. (01:43:25)

Continuity mistake: When Toby arrives to bring XXX his new modified car, as he drives it around the court you can notice a policeman appear all of a sudden in the shot with the close-up on the GTO on the grill; was nowhere to be seen before. (01:40:40)

XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: When Milan Sova pulls a gun on Xander, in the wider angles his left hand rests on the inside of the armchair, by his thigh, while in the closer angles it is on top of the armrest. (01:21:20)

Continuity mistake: When Xander whips out the binoculars to look at the bad guys dressing up the submarine, his fingers are positioned differently on the device between shots. (01:13:10)

XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: Yorgi turns towards Yelena when it's time to admit her for the first time inside the secret basement and starts talking; At "Through this door..." his arms are down, but in the next shot when he finishes the sentence he's leaning on it with his left arm completely raised. (01:10:40)

XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: Xander puts the first explosive on a bike. The backing of the bandage falls on top of the box he dropped on the ground, forming a curve. In the next shot the backing is gone. (01:09:50)

XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: Xander just told Yelena that he's taking her to lunch. Cut to Yorgi's bed, with a random blonde asleep in it. Her hair is off her right shoulder, but in the following shot she's visible in the background, with hair covering that shoulder and part of her chest. (01:00:30)

XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: In the wide shot with Asia Argento and Vin Diesel standing in the hall of the villa once he caught her tampering with the floor safe, the shadows are entirely different from a moment before, when she was on the floor operating the computer. (00:59:10 - 00:59:40)
11th Sep 2020
XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: The position of the Kodak camera Yelena is using with her laptop are inconsistent between shots, in particular when we see the 'transmitting' message; the camera looks perfectly aligned with the laptop and further back. (00:59:00)

XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: When Xander stops Viktor to inquire about Kiril's coat-sniffing habits, a bowling ball appears literally out of nowhere between Jan Filipenský's hands between shots. (00:56:00)

XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: The wire transfer has been successful in dramatic fashion and Yorgi is telling Xander about the famous car number 10. He passes the paper to his brother; Kolya is at distance from the car, in fact he even steps away from it, to his right. But in the next shot, he winks at Xander standing by it, elbow on its roof. (00:47:20)
11th Sep 2020
XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: In the close-up where agent Toby Lee Shavers grabs the gun from the case to show it to XXX, the owner of the hand in shot is wearing a ring on the left ring finger. In the following bit, the prematurely departed Michael Roof is sporting the ring on his right hand. The same mistake (left hand ring in close-ups, right hand ring for the other shots) happens when he picks the binoculars up and when he applies the bandage. (00:43:30)

XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: Xander's own personal Q (Toby Lee Shavers) shows him the various gizmos; when they're done with the pervy binoculars, TLS holds up a box of band-aids. Michael Roof's hand is in a completely different position on the box between shots. (00:45:00)
11th Sep 2020
XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: XXX meets agent Toby Lee Shavers; he is initially pestering a local female officer but then has to turn his attention to Xander. Keep an eye on the woman; she puts both hands on the computer monitor, but at the cut she is in a totally different position. (00:42:25)
11th Sep 2020
XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: For their first meeting, Xander and Yelena entertain a very overwritten conversation taking jabs at each other. He says he'd send her to 'charm school' and she does a weird sound sucking through the teeth as she walks away. Her shawl leaves her upper bare completely bare, but at the cut, it's all the way down covering her completely. (00:39:40)
11th Sep 2020
XXX (2002)
Continuity mistake: Xander just shot the cop, who goes face first into a glass panel. Close-up on the car wheel, then the whole car is in frame. Xander has his hands on the wheel, or at least, he's not still pointing the gun. But he is a second later. (00:49:45)
