Character error
When the Shelby pulls in to an alley, and the police follow, one officer pulls out his flashlight and checks to see if the car is there. He looks everywhere but the ground.
Continuity
When the city power plant is destroyed, in a truly spectacular series of explosions, the city is shown experiencing a total blackout. For the rest of the movie, there is not a single light out, not a street light, traffic light, or building light, negating the whole premise of the robbery theme.
When The Kid gets in the car, and while they are arguing, the door is open. Neither of them close the door, and nothing happens that would close it, but when the car backs up, the door is closed.
The passenger mirror is knocked off the car during the train depot chase scene. It reappears and disappears in subsequent scenes
The front and rear license plates don't match. The front plate reads CABX7289, while thread plate reads CA7289BX.
During one of the earlier car chases, the Shelby has 6-8 bullet holes in its driver's side, yet no bullets have been fired yet.
Damages to the Shelby (dents, scratches, etc.) change often, sometimes disappearing before reappearing differently.
While Magna and The Kid are being chased by police, he keeps telling her to put on her seat-belt, which she never does. Yet, many scenes during the chase show her wearing her seat-belt and then not wearing it in the next.
Errors in geography
While the movie takes place in Bulgaria, 911 is referenced even though that is the U.S. emergency number.
The movie takes place in Sofia - the capital city of Bulgaria, but the police cars are clearly not Bulgarian. In Bulgaria, police cars are completely white, or white with 2 thin horizontal blue lines on the sides of the car with "POLICE", written on the front hood in English and "Police" written in Bulgarian Cyrillic on the sides. The police cars in the movie are wrong as they are white with thick yellow and blue diagonal stripes and in Latin script "POLICE" on the sides, they more resemble British police cars than Bulgarian ones.
Factual errors
For the first half of the movie, every time Magna wants to speed up, we see him shifting into 5th gear instead of down-shifting.
Plot holes
The stolen money transfer could have been done with only a couple of people "on the inside" at the bank. The rest of the film is unnecessary; or a "complete film plot hole."
Revealing mistakes
When the Shelby tries to drive down a flight of steps, we only see a shot of it starting, and one of it at the bottom. It couldn't have made it down the steps with ground clearance, so we don't see what would have been a good shot, it actually coming down the steps.
The Shelby Super Snake has a 220 mph speedometer not the 140 mph one shown.
Spoilers
Continuity
Leanne (the wife who is held hostage) has a large bloody cut on her head during the movie, but it is not there when she is released and the cop asks her if she is okay. Shortly thereafter at the very end of the movie she has a bruise on her forehead.
Factual errors
When they get to the bank & the girl is kidnapped by "The Voice" driving a minivan, there is no way that type of car could ever compete in handling or performance with the Mustang Shelby Cobra.
Revealing mistakes
When the Shelby rolls at the end of the final chase, the piston of the cannon used to roll it is clearly visible
