Continuity mistake: When Ben spits out of the trashed hairy taco, extras around him have changed position - just look at the girl in a purple bikini on the beach volley court, the ball she is holding disappears between shots. (00:53:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The brothers in law have just retrieved AJ from the beach, but baddies on a BMW start chasing them. In close-ups James is holding the wheel using his left hand, since he is using his right to push Ben out of harm's way, but in the one external view of the action in between those closer angles, the driver is holding on top of the steering wheel a right hand. (00:53:35)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: In the sequence with Ben faking a right turn and baiting the pursuant baddies into a bad left, as the car flips hit by the pick-up, you can see without need of slo-motion that there are no people in it, merely hydraulics. (00:56:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the car chase, a bad guy shoots Ben and James' car saying it's "too easy", since Ben is signaling his turns. In that sequence you can notice the natural light changes suddenly between shots, and the street in the background is not the same, nor the intersection where the turn happens. (00:52:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the gun standoff at Alonso's, AJ knocks off the table a set of tools. The action happens across two shots that come from two separate takes: AJ in the first one is turning towards the box and blatantly knocks it down himself, while in the second, he's looking away the whole time. Also, during the "What the hell?" moment it's on the floor, closed, when it obviously landed face down, open. (00:58:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the sequence with Alonso holding his chest where the bullet hit the vest, Arturo Del Puerto's hair is parted in different wisps above his right eye depending on the camera angle (each probably shooting one or more different takes of the same scene). He's also holding his hand off and then above his shirt. (00:59:00)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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.
