• Continuity: As Dalton stands inside the bank vault staring at the cash, the scene jumps from a wide, distant shot, to medium, to close-in, just outside the cage. Another robber stands just outside and between jumps his gun position shifts from relaxed to raised to relaxed again.

• Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double when Frazier and Russell fall down the stairs. Frazier has a shaved head while the stunt man has a full head of hair.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the scene where the 'hostage' is dragged kicking and screaming by his ankles through the rooms of the bank, he pulls a pile of books over that are stacked next to the doorway. Later in the film when the police storm the building, the books are neatly stacked back at the side of the door. However, it is entirely possible that either one of the robbers or hostages stacked the books back up during the course of the film.
  
  
• Continuity: In the end when Frazier returns home to his girlfriend, his lapel badge changes from one lapel to the other
  
  
• Errors in geography: When the NYPD ESU is initially setting up around the bank at 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan, FDNY Engine 332 arrives on the scene. FDNY Engine Company 332 is based in Brooklyn, on Bradford St., not Manhattan.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When the bank robbers first walk into the bank they are all wearing the white suits. As soon as they go into the basement they make them all take off their clothes and put them into that little white bag (as you see at the end of the movie). During this whole process, while they ask each hostage if they knew who was who, it has been suggested that all they had to have done was match each persons clothes with the person. They also could have matched each persons cell phone with the person. All the robbers would need to do is put clothes and cell phones in the bags for the robbers to claim as having been theirs.
  
  
• Continuity: When Madeline and Case are talking next to the river, Case is standing with his right shoulder towards Madeline. In the next shot, he is turned dramatically so his left shoulder is towards her, and then it is back the other way.
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: When the hostages are lying on the street outside the bank and are being put in PlastiCuffs (also called FlexiCuffs), you can see that several of them are not tightened, so they can just take their hands out of them if they wanted to.
  
  
• Continuity: SPOILER: The robbers sent their demands written on a desk drawer from the bank. Later on Detective Frazier discovers that the drawer was bugged but this time the writing and capitalization is different. For example "SemTex" changed to "SEMTEX".
  
  
• Continuity: SPOILER: When detective Frazier finds the diamond in his pocket, it's shown in his hand as oval shaped. Then it changes to a round diamond when it's shown again, a few seconds later.
  
  
• Continuity: SPOILER: When Denzel Washington is in the bank to negotiate, he says "What happened? Couldn't you open the vault?" As he says this, the vault's door in the background clearly can be seen and is open at it's maximum.
