Blitz goofs

A little beyond the halfway point, after Dunlop is shown the gun, the police officer's hat and so on in the boot of the car, he no longer needs Radnor. All he has to do is identify the person linked to the car, which ought to have been straightforward for a journalist since the licence plate was there in plain sight. Radnor should also have thought of that, given how meticulous he was about the sum in the envelope.

When Porter Nash is introduced to the police force, the Superintendent holds up a newspaper to show that they are already the centre of a media frenzy. The paper carries a report stating that a second officer has been shot dead, even though that event does not occur until later in the film.

Early on, while they're in the pub, the amount of beer in the glass changes, and as the camera angle shifts the glass alternates between resting on the table and being in Brant's hand.

When Brant & Nash first visit Barry Weiss' flat, Barry ascends a short flight of steps and makes a ninety-degree right-hand turn to reach the front door. However, as Brant & Nash are leaving Barry Weiss' flat, the view looking up the stairs shows the front door now at the top of the stairway with no sign of that earlier ninety-degree turn. It is clearly an entirely different flat. The same continuity error occurs again later in the film when Barry Weiss is shown leaving his flat.

Jason's character confronts the villain armed with the SIG Sauer 9mm pistol that recurs throughout the film. Yet when he pulls the trigger, the weapon has transformed into a revolver. Presuming the SIG was a non-firing prop and the only firearm available for firing blanks was a revolver.

As Brant pursues Weiss, they go past a man in a green-and-blue jumper, yet when Weiss and Brant leap over the railing the man in the jumper is between them.

Around halfway through the film, when Brant and Nash leave the police station, a continuity error is visible between the medium shot and the long shot.

Nash pours Brant a cup from his French press without first lowering the plunger. Yet when he pours his own cup, the plunger is down.

In a shot of the police station the frontage bears the inscription "London Police", yet London is served by two separate forces: the City of London Police and the Metropolitan Police Service.

During the chase across west London that reaches a rail depot to the north of Paddington, trains operated by Southern can be seen, even though they do not run from Paddington station. Likewise, within the depot, third-rail electric Class 313 units are visible, and these do not normally operate from Paddington.

Not a single black police vehicle bears the name of its bureau or city; only the word 'police' and a three-digit vehicle number are shown.

About halfway through, when Falls meets Stokes, the camera lingers on her hands as she holds a mug of tea — her fingernails are shown to be more than half an inch long. Police regulations typically restrict nail length for both male and female officers to a quarter of an inch beyond the fingertip as a safety precaution. Nails longer than this can hinder an officer's ability to properly operate issued weapons and handcuffs.

After Radnor goes into the bathroom, Weiss kills him and takes the brown envelope; the newspaper reporter Dunlop then informs Brant & Nash about it. When Weiss is later arrested in possession of the envelope containing cash, fingerprints on it show that Dunlop, Radnor and Weiss had all handled it, linking Weiss to Radnor's murder and giving the authorities grounds to detain him for questioning.

He *was* held for questioning, then released.

When Brant Jason Statham pursues Weiss to the rail depot, and the police officers are holding Brant back to stop him from attacking the suspect, Nash Paddy Considine seems to address Statham by his real name.

Misheard line: he actually says "just calm (down)", not "Jason".

After the murder of the female police officer, the reporter claims she died instantly, even though the woman was choking on her own blood for almost twenty seconds.

Apart from a reluctance to describe grisly, unwitnessed details, the reporter did not see the event herself — she could not plausibly report on what she had not observed.

After Nash is introduced to the "troops" at the station, he arrives at his house and goes into the kitchen wearing an overcoat. As the shot cuts, the overcoat has disappeared and he is now wearing an ordinary jacket.

He walked in and emptied the overcoat's pockets in preparation for taking it off, which he did off-camera on his way to the kitchen. The jacket was beneath the overcoat, clearly.

When Weiss climbs into the taxi he sits with his back to the driver. In the subsequent half-second shot, the taxi is shown with its only rear-seat passenger facing the driver, yet in the following cut Weiss is once more seated with his back to the driver.

When Weiss is in custody and they remark on the scant evidence available to charge him, they entirely overlook that Falls could have positively identified him from the attack on her doorstep. Weiss' face was clearly visible to Falls when she saw him stamp on the young boy's neck.

In the car park, the killer watches Radnor and Dunlop drive off together. In the next scene he's spying on them in a pub, but there was no way he could have known where they were going, and he could not have followed them because he had stayed in the car park for a while to remove items from the derelict car.

When Brant and Nash knocked at Weiss' door, they found him naked in bed. He was wearing only his trousers and an unbuttoned shirt when he climbed out of the window. Upon his release from custody, he was handed his leather coat and an envelope of cash, neither of which he possessed at the time of his arrest.
