When Hutch gets his brother's text message telling him to go see the barber, his face can be seen in close-up with no scars whatsoever. Next shot, when he arrives at the barber's, his scars are back.
RZA does his three in a row single bullet kill with his weapon suppressed. However he had earlier taken the suppressor off during a three kill run including an over the shoulder shot.
Just before Hutch wakes up to intruders in his home, a shot of the front yard shows their garbage can at the end of the yard, next to the tree, ready for "trash day" in the morning. Later, after the police have spoken to Hutch, the garbage can is missing from the yard.
At about 1:01:14, when Hutch lowers the stylus onto the record it lands a way into the first track, but we hear the beginning of "What a wonderful world".
Around 1 hour 3 minutes Hutch can be seen unlocking a Jaguar that is parked under a tree adjacent to the roundabout. Yet when he changes his mind and drives off in the Challenger the Jaguar is no longer parked there.
The incision on the neck for an emergency tracheotomy is the other way around (vertically and not horizontally as done) to avoid injuring the carotids arteries, jugular veins and thyroid gland.
an emergency tracheotomy (the field surgery procedure that Hutch performs on Kuznetsov Jr. in the bus) usually starts with a vertical incision. That is the way it is usually taught to Medics across NATO military forces. expert Caregivers in some hospital settings (A&E, ENT, ICU) will however prefer a horizontal incision. Hutch's choice to cut horizontally may be a nod to his extensive expertise. the blood sputtering is anyway inconsistent with a real incision on the front neck tissues.
After the mercenary home invasion scene, Hutch is hit with a stun gun, which renders him unconscious. Stun guns only cause localized pain, and do not render someone unconscious or incapacitated.
In a wet sprinkler system, the water in fire sprinklers would need to be flushed prior to the addition of fuel to the system; If it were a dry sprinkler system, the incoming water from the main would douse the fire almost immediately after the fuel soaked the Obshek.
the knife wound Hutch receives is more than skin deep. Even considering the coat, clothes and Odenkirk's less-than-obsessively-lean abdomen you can judge from the length of the knife, angle of entrance and removal shot that the blade would have at least pierced the abdominal muscles (if not pinched the large intestines), thus requiring more than glue to close the wound (stitches at the very minimum, possibly abdominal surgery).
The right way to "glue" a cut is to first pinch the edges, then apply the glue on the skin to allow the now tighten flesh to heal; and not smearing the glue inside or over the wound and hope for instant gluing when pinching on the skin (fresh blood in the wound will prevent it from happening).
Correction... There's no factual error here. The technique isn't presented as fact. It's a character choice, doing something in a way that many people might do. It's doesn't have to be the optimal method.

When talking to the half dead Russians in his house about "Alan" he states that it was a suppressed H&K USP .45, then they clearly show that the slide on the pistol is stamped HK USP 9mm x 19. This was done on purpose by the filmmakers to show how unreliable Hutch's memory of the event was.
After Claymore mines are designed to 85% of the blast force and projectiles to go from the front and 14% out the back. Very little goes out the side bottom of the mine. The club confrontation would have meant it was of little threat with it laying on the table topside up other than to the club ceiling.
However, only a military weapons expert could be expected to know that. All that was necessary for this scene was for Yulian to believe the mine was a deadly threat, which virtually anyone would. Regardless, sitting no more than a foot or two from an exploding Claymore mine would be extremely dangerous in the best of circumstances.

Talking on the radio, Hutch describes the revolver used in the robbery as empty giving this as the reason why he didn't fight back. His perspective being behind the one holding the revolver wouldn't reveal this. (Correction) you would be able to see an unloaded revolver from behind (unless the gun only had one round in it) in addition, the revolver is pointed at him several times during the home invasion.
At about 00:54:00, just after they mention black Russians, Hutch says "short story long". "long story short" would be the more thing to say, as in "to cut a long story short". This is clearly an intentional wordplay, as Hutch wants to extend the agony of a dying man.
When Hutch's brother is first seen with a sniper rifle in close-up, the bolt action handle is show on the left side, indicating an obvious image flip, as later scenes show the rifle's correct orientation.
When Hutch burns The Obschak there is a close up shot of money pallet burning. When the first row of money props falls down you can see a layer of Dollar props on top and yellow paper stacks underneath.
The Gold Bullion props are not treated as heavy as they would be. While a pinball machine is strong enough to hold a box with the quantity shown, placing said box on the glass of the machine would have immediately shattered the glass.
A BMW hits a traffic light pole head on hurling it maybe a hundred feet. The red light stays on.
During the car chase scene, when Hutch pops in the tape of Pat Benatar's 1980 Heartbreaker, you see him twist the knob on the right as if to crank up the volume. The volume button on car stereos is on the left.
Yulian shoots Hutch's car from behind with a pistol. A neat round bullet hole appears in the windshield.
Hutch lowers the stylus into the middle of the first track on an LP. However, the music starts right from the very beginning of Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World'.
Throughout the movie, multiple vehicles are seen with Ohio license plates indicating that the location is in Ohio (The Mansell's car, their neighbor's car, Yulian's vehicle in his introduction, stopped cars as Yulian walks through traffic to the night club) but Hutch uses what looks like a New York metro card for public transit.
When the Russian goon squad raided Hutch's home at night, there was enough gunfire to rouse the entire neighborhood, yet not a single neighbor called the police while the invasion was happening or afterward.
However, it cannot be stated that no-one called the police. The story-line of the film did not include what took place inside the houses of the people living nearby, nor what happened at Hutch's house after he'd been taken. It's quite possible that calls did take place but simply weren't shown. Also, the invasion only took two minutes, from the first shot being fired to the car being driven off. Even in the police had been called during the invasion it's impossible that they wouldn't have arrived on scene in time.

During a gunfight, Hutch takes cover behind a consumer refrigerator door. A door like that is little more than thin sheet metal and Styrofoam. Bullets would pass through with ease.
A pizza box would not wedge an automatic garage door open like that, it would return to fully open if it cannot close all the way. It's shown to be an automatic garage door in a later scene.
The Russian goons who invaded his house had orders to take him alive, but they used enough ammo to suggest that they were trying very hard to kill him, before he was stunned.
Hutch has extensively booby-trapped his former workplace before the final shootout, but both his brother and father are already (safely) inside before Hutch gets there, despite their ignorance of all the traps.
Hutch's neighbor describes the 1972 Dodge Challenger he inherited as being equipped with the 4.9L V8. Dodge never equipped the challenger with a 4.9L V8 in 1972, or any other year for that matter. In 1972 specifically, the engine options for a challenger were the 3.7 L slant-6, 5.2 L V8, and the 5.6 L V8.
During the stage performance, which is presented as live, the female singer is clearly not singing for a brief moment as Yulian approaches to join her.
