Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Premium Rush (2012)

Goofs

Premium Rush

Edit

Continuity

(at around 58 mins) When Wilee and Manny are racing in the park and Wilee has to jump the stairs the shot where he makes the jump his handlebars turn into "riser" style, while in the rest of the movie they are "bullhorns"
Shortly after the first chase begins, Wilee is shown riding past the same Mobil gas station twice without doubling back.
When Detective Monday hits the thug back after his tooth was dislodged, blood on his face disappears and reappears between shots.
When Wilee is trying to find Manny, he passes the same Chase bank twice. The production clearly just shut down one stretch of road and reused it multiple times.

Factual errors

During the first riding scene with Manny the film cuts to Manny's rear wheel cassette. The film shows the cassette downshifting, when during the sequence Manny is supposed to be going faster. A downshift indicates Manny is shifting to a slower gear.
Manny says to Wiley while racing that his Parlee is custom cut carbon fiber. The model Manny rides is the Z5 which is not a custom model. It is a production, stock geometry model.

Revealing mistakes

When the bicycle cop gets doored by the taxi, the door has been visibly modified for the stunt. The window frame has been removed to allow the stuntman to pass over it. In a later shot, the door is back to normal, with the bicycle stuck through the window frame.
Outside the flower shop right after bike-riding cop tackles Manny, the practice skid marks from the stunt cyclist can be seen on the ground before Wilee skids to a halt.
When Vanessa is riding, she has a brake on the front of her bike for much of the frame. This is possible due to her having a freewheel on her back wheel. This allows her to coast, as she's shown to do many times. Once she removes the brake after the crash, she would only be able to slow or stop by putting her foot on the tire or dragging her feet. With a freewheel you need a brake.
While Wiley is chasing Manny and being chased by the Bike Cop, when he bunny hops(jumps) down the stairs and over the fence, the handlebar changes on his bike. The style used in most shots is a bullhorn style. During these scenes the bar is a riser bar. This is due to the stunt rider in the scene.

Miscellaneous

Given the extensive traveling in the film, plus the amount of events that unfold, it is absolutely impossible for the film to take place over the span of less than 3 hours as it posits. This is especially noticeable once Wilee gets hit by the car. From that point forward the film posits that only 23 minutes pass, when it would likely be many hours, especially considering Wilee receives treatment at a hospital.

Errors in geography

When Wilee goes to pick up the courier from Columbia University, the map shows he goes from downtown to 116th street. However, when he reaches Columbia University, he is shown to cycling in from uptown.
The courier Nima sends is to be picked up from the Law School. However the building shown is not the Law School but Lerner Hall, the auditorium for Columbia University.
When he is chased on Broadway after picking up the package he is crossing southbound by 139th street going to 125th when he is supposed to be biking south of 116th street.

Character error

One of Wilee's personal matras is that "brakes are death" and that no one should have a brake on their bike. However, Wilee DOES have a brake on his bike. He has a coaster brake (activated by pedaling in reverse) which the audience sees him use multiple times to slide down a street. While he may not use it as intended, it is very odd that someone who hates brakes so much would still have one.
