Goofs

During the transportation of Sean Briar, Michael Mason and Zoe, the driver gets shot and the van rams some parked cars, during which the van appears to be totaled with a broken front axle; however they keep driving and the shot after it hits the Audi shows an undamaged van, after which it's damaged again in the last shot.

Following the roof chase when Michael makes his way through the marketplace, he steals a grey jacket and puts it on over his green hooded jacket with the hood hanging out. The green hood then alternately disappears inside the grey jacket then reappears over the following few scenes.

Just before Briar shoots Mason his pistol is cocked (hammer back). After he shoots, the pistol is uncocked (hammer forward), when the action should have re-cocked it. Then, after the police appear, it is cocked again without Briar having moved. Back in the close-up it is uncocked again.

After Briar and Mason enter the apartment elevator when tracking down Zoe, there is a hand print on the elevator's stainless steel door. It disappears before they get to their floor.

The money is regularly referred to as being US dollars. It would make no sense for the French National Reserve bank to store any currency in US dollars as the French use euros as their currency, as shown on the computer screen in the scene where the money is "downloaded".

When the thieves open up the computer terminal, the screen clearly displays "FEDERAL RESERVE BANK". Not only that the French national bank almost certainly would refer to itself by its French name "Banque de France", but France is a unitary state meaning there is no such thing as a federal level of administration.

Everyone refers to the computer theft using a "hard drive". This is incorrect. It is a "flash drive".

When the thieves enter the main vault, there is a temperature readout of -5 degrees centigrade. If this was true, you would see the thief's breath. You see nothing. Also, regular computer equipment is not designed to operate at such low temperatures making it highly unbelievable it's that cold to begin with.

At 1:06, TV coverage shows protesters facing off with a line of cops with plastic shields. That same footage is used again at 1:12 when Michael and Zoe lead the protesters to storm the bank.

About 70 minutes into the movie, Briar enters the Bank of France dressed in full police riot gear. He has a helmet on. After neutralizing 2 police, his helmet has disappeared.

When the helicopter lands on the roof on the National Bank, it is very obvious that a remote control helicopter model was used instead of an actual helicopter.

When the uniformed officers take down the dirty RAPID commander in the bank lobby, there are clearly dozens of protesters still standing up directly behind him, it's impossible that none of them would have been hit if not killed when the officers all open fire on Bertrand.

At approximately 18 minutes, as Idris Elba's character begins to chase Michael over the rooftops, you can see the heel come off of one of his shoes.

After the driver of the police van is shot during the struggle in the back, the van continues careening at full speed for more than a minute, as the front seat passenger attempts to steer and the struggle continues in back. With the driver dead or at least incapacitated though, his foot would release the accelerator and the vehicle would have quickly come to a stop as soon as it lost momentum, and certainly once it had clipped another car in the intersection.

When the Police are entering the bank, between the main hall and the control room. As they walk behind the pillar, you can see the edit between shots. (The camera jumps slightly.)

When Mason takes the teddy out of the bag he would have felt the weight and bulk of the bomb even if he didn't see the flashing LED visible through its fur (as seen when the bomb is first placed into the bear).

Shortly after Briar's car is torched and he hijacks the gold Mercedes Bertrand radios in to ask if any carjackings have been reported and is told of one two blocks from his location.

Later Briar, Michael and Zoe realize that the glove box of the Merc is full of drugs, implying that it belonged to a drug dealer.

A real drug dealer would never be stupid enough to report that his car had been stolen to the police.

When the main character leaves the home of the receiver of the stolen goods he spots the sniper because of the laser pointer. No sniper would ever use a laser pointer.

When Idris Elba's character is introduced in the opening scene, his tie is a single knot, however, once his meeting begins it's turned into a classic double knot.

Mid-way through the film, one of the 'newscasters' refers to the 'Bastille day procession' - it's not a procession, it's a military parade.
