Movie Goof (continuity error): When Jim learns he has been rejected from the LAPD, Mike suggests it's pretty obvious what has happened, at which point Jim raises his hands in confusion.

Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): In the scene where Jim's car gets pulled over by two cops, a shot showing Officer Leo walking up to the car reveals a crew member visible to the left of the second officer (far left of the screen).
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Jim gets attacked by Flaco and his crew, the fighting stops when he fires his pistol two times in the air. Being a semi-auto pistol, at this time the gun would have to be cocked. Yet after Jim tells Mike to check the car only a few seconds later, he cocks the gun again.

Movie Goof (continuity error): In the scene where Jim discovers he has been rejected by the LAPD and goes into a violent rage, there are several inconsistencies with the shots of the traffic behind his Ford. For example, one shot shows Jim marching up to the car on his right, a bus passes the left side of his car. The following shot shows the same bus behind his car. Another following shot then shows no traffic behind his car for at least 100 meters.

In one shot we see Jim insulting Patty while Mike has just closed his passenger door, sitting inside the car. In a following shot we clearly see Mike standing outside his door waving to Letty while opening it.
