Goofs

The size of the damage on the taxi's smashed windshield is inconsistently larger or smaller throughout the film.

After Max and Vincent leave the Fever Nightclub, Max crashes his taxi into two parked cars. In the first shot of the front of the car after the crash the taxi appears to have no damage at all, the following shot the left front light is broken and there's damage to the side of the taxi. In the next shot, the damage is gone again.

After the shootout in the subway, Max has his glasses on. Then when Max is shown sitting across from Vincent they're off and he puts them on. Then when they show him get off the subway with Annie, he doesn't have glasses on again.

Vincent cut the power lines yet Max and Annie are still able to take the elevator with no issue.

When Vincent checks Annie's desk, the telephone receiver changes from being aside of the phone to hanged up in the reverse angle shot.

When the two LAPD officers pull Max over, the black officer is sporting a goatee. Per LAPD regulations, no uniformed officers may have a goatee.

When Max calls Annie and his phone is on low battery, the audio on the call gets staticy, not to mention Annie hears the beep. Most cellphone notification sounds aren't heard by the other party. There may be a muting of a second, but that's it. And under no circumstances does a low battery cause static on a line. The call would just be dropped when the battery finally went dead.

During the gunfight at the nightclub, Vincent fires at least seventeen shots from his gun before reloading, even though the USP he uses only holds twelve.

When the duo go to see Daniel Baker, the drummer is playing on the hi-hat to his right. But a ride cymbal is heard . And the drummer is playing something completely different from the music heard.

At the start of the movie, an arguing couple is driven in the taxi. The woman sitting in the back seat is doing her make-up by using the taxi's rear-view mirror. From where she is sitting, the angle would not be correct for her to see her reflection in it.

At the hospital, Max gets upset once it is revealed his mother is oblivious, believing he drives his own limo, but in reality he is just a cab driver of a taxi. However, earlier she kept calling Max's boss, which would reveal it is just a cab company, not Max's own limo gig.

It's entirely possible that Max has arranged for his boss to pretend he works for a limo company and not a cab company whenever his mother calls.

At the end of the film the train pulls out of the station despite a loud gunfight and several witnesses seeing Vincent march from car to car holding a gun. It is a driverless train that operates automatically, it's not going to shut itself off just because there is a commotion.

After Vincent jumps onto the train in the final sequence, he simply opens the door and walks into the car. But for obvious reasons, the door out of the last car on any public transportation conveyance is always locked and secured for liability reasons. Vincent would have to kick in the window to gain access to the interior of the train. He obviously found some way to pry the door open, we don't actually see him enter this door on-screen so any method is possible.

When the body first falls to the windshield, it apparently leaves a lot of glass fragments on the street, but the windshield would be made of safety glass which does not shatter and, therefore, no glass pieces. This is subsequently confirmed throughout the film, as the windshield has been hit but retained on the glass.

The glass on the road is from the window the body was thrown out of, not from the taxi.

Max keeps Annie's business card on the visor of his cab. However, after the car crash, and after escaping from the cop, he takes the business card out of his pocket. He obviously put it in his pocket some time prior to the crash.

When Max and Vincent load the first corpse in the trunk, the corpse is holding Max by the wrists as well.

During the night club scene where there is a frantic evacuation of the building, one of the Asian bodyguards can be seen standing up with people dancing around him instead of the chaotic evacuation being portrayed.

The cartridge shell Richard Weidner holds up in the alley of the first hit is for a rifle not a pistol.

During the car crash when Max intentionally hits the barrier, the trunk never opens despite the taxi cab flipping several times with a body inside. It's still shut tight when the vehicle comes to rest. In the next scene it's suddenly damaged and cracked open.

When the detectives are leaving to secure a potential targeted witness, while getting into their vehicles Peter Berg can be seen looking directly into the camera for a few seconds.

In the jazz club, Daniel's song keeps playing after he has removed the trumpet from his mouth.

When Max sees the security guard at the office building he runs around to another door. The cameraman is visible in the glare of the building running next to Max.

When the taxi crashes, hidden equipment is visible next to the parked cars, but is removed after the crash.

The cameraman is visible in the mirror Max and Annie are running towards just before they run down the escalators to the subway tracks at the end of the movie.

While driving on a near-deserted road (going to Fever) what appears to be the flashing red and blue lights of a police car (presumably escorting the production vehicles) can be seen reflected in the cab's window.

Light fixture visible in Club Fever.

The lawyer Vincent shoots is supposed to live on Fountain Avenue in West Hollywood. The view from his condo is downtown Los Angeles, which is about 12 miles from the given address.

Annie tells Max to take La Brea to 6th into downtown LA. Max recommends another route, because he says that "Once you get to La Brea, north of Santa Monica, then it's jammed." She doesn't question him about this statement. However, she told him to turn east at 6th, which is two miles south of Santa Monica Boulevard. The route she described would never reach the area with the traffic he's talking about.

One of the detectives tosses a brass case to Fanning, saying "You can still smell the cordite". Cordite, as a propellant, has not been used since the second World War and certainly not in modern 45 caliber ACP ammunition. Nitroglycerin, which is a key component of modern propellant, has a completely different smell.

Vincent tells Max that damage to the taxi will be covered by his general liability umbrella policy. An umbrella policy and a general liability policy are two separate types of policies, and collision coverage to a vehicle would not be covered under either.
