Goofs

The Infiltrator

Edit

Continuity

Bob and Roberto are sat on the couch and the TV news report comes on about Barry Seals death in Baton Rouge, yet Bob is in the car when the drive by shooters on motorbike go past and kill Barry Seal.
When Robert meets Frankie outside on the terrace, Robert's wife hands both of them a tea mug. When Frankie leaves, his mug has disappeared. An opposite side shot shows neither does he carry it with him (why would he?) nor did he place it somewhere on the terrace.

Factual errors

Barry Seal was assassinated by Cartel assassins in Baton Rouge in 1986. At the time he was a DEA informant and was never part of Operation C-Chase which was a US Customs operation run out of Tampa.
In the credits, a sentence appears that in 1980s BCCI had accounts that "funded Afghan Freedom fighters (The Taliban) against the Soviets." The Taliban did not exist back in the 1980s. They came to existence around 1994 and fought in the Afghan civil war after the Soviets withdrew.
Love how the package arrives after a day or two in the mail, THEN starts leaking blood in their house.
747 prop G-BDXJ used in airport scene.

747s don't have props. They are jets.
The copyright notice states, in part, "Any Unauthorised Duplication Distribution [etc.]" "Duplication Distribution" is not one term, but two (part of a list of three, with "Exhibition"), so it should be 'Duplication, Distribution".

Anachronisms

The Budweiser beer bottles used in the movie have the 'Bud' neck label, not used on bottles in 1985.
A character is seen wearing a Milwaukee Brewers jersey with a "Brewers" wordmark that hadn't been introduced in 1985.
The song, "I Can't Wait", by Nu Shooz, plays during a strip club scene in the film. The film is set in 1985, but this song wasn't released until 1986.
During the start of the wedding sting, the Steadicam tracks Bob and Steve down a couple of flights of stairs into the hotel lobby. Elevators flanking the stairs have bright blue LCD floor indicators, which would not be available until some time after the events of the movie. Modern day LCD computer screens can be seen on the hotel's check-in desk as well.
The film is set in 1985, there's a shot outside a Florida liquor store that has a "Lotto" sign. The Florida lottery didn't begin operations until 1988.
