When Vince is riding in the taxicab before going to Sheldon's dental office, the cab passes the Regal Shoe store 3 times in 12 seconds.

When Senator Jesus Braunschweiger meets them at the airport, the Mercedes has headrests as seen through the front window. When Vincent and Sheldon get in the car for their getaway, the headrests are gone.

During the car chase in Tijada, the same cars are used repeatedly in different shots. For example, they pass the same old dark green pickup truck three different times and the same yellow sedan three times.

When Sheldon enters Vince's office to open the safe, he closes the office door behind him but doesn't lock it. However, when the two hit men who were following him try to open the door, it is locked.

The bullet that Angie shoots from Vince's office door pierces the window behind Sheldon. In the following shot, when Angie and Mo burst into the office, it is seen that the bullet somehow went around an office cubicle with a glass partition in order to reach the window.

It is mentioned at least once and seen on a newspaper headline that the United States Mint (Mint) was robbed. The Mint deals with coins. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) deals with currency. The BEP would have the engravings for currency, not the Mint.

At the start of the film the agency that prints currency is correctly identified as the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. For the remainder of the film, the action centers on stealing printing plates from the US Mint, which only manufactures coins.

If the payment of $20 million from Gen. Garcia was made entirely with $1,000 bills, as was shown when the briefcase containing $10 million is opened, then the two wrapped bundles are far too small to contain $5 million each. Each bundle appears to be a single stack of bills, just a few inches thick. A bundle of 100 US bills is 0.43 inches thick. A $5 million stack of $1,000 bills would contain 5,000 bills and be 21.5 inches high.

The plate left in Shelly's basement is supposed to be of $500, but, since 1969, the largest denomination has been $100.

In the dinner scene, Peter Falk's character Vince Ricardo tells a story about being on a 9-month "consulting" trip in "the Bush" of Guatemala where 'Tsetse flies" so big they carried children away. Tsetse flies are found only in Africa, not Guatemala or the Americas.

When Sheldon is being chased around the cab and shot at, uniformed police officers are visible in the crowd across the street.

(At 53:43) When the pilot is using the thrust reversers to send the plane in reverse, the footage is actually being played backwards. This is evident by a small vehicle on the runway, in the background behind the parked planes, also seen going in reverse.

Early on, Shelly takes his wife's call with a patient in the chair. He lifts up the receiver and starts talking. He does not press the lit button and is, in essence, talking to a call that is on hold.

The assassins are shooting at the car from the driver's side. A bullet breaks the backseat window of the passenger side, but all the other windows remain intact.

The stolen printing plates are for $500 bills. The movie is set in the later 1970s, but $500 bills were discontinued in 1945.

Vince and Sheldon are paid off in $1000 bills. These were recalled by the treasury department a decade before the movie is supposed to take place.

(At around 50 mins) Crew and camera are visible in reflection of back seat window of the government agents' vehicle.

When Vince is going to his office, the wooden boards holding up the camera alongside the taxi can be seen.

50:18 (DVD release) Crew and camera visible in reflection of back seat window of the government agents' vehicle.

Peter Falk's character Vince Ricardo refers to the Jungle of Guatemala as "The Bush" - an English term that is used to describe the large, rural areas in South Africa, Australia, or New Zealand - not Guatemala or the Americas.

Government agents have one of the engravings when Vince and Sheldon leave the country but all four are in the case when General Garcia opens it which isn't possible.

When Vince elects to take off in the Wong Airlines Lear Jet, he retards the throttles instead of pushing them forward, advancing them to achieve take off thrust.
