Goofs

Continuity: During the first hijacking when the car goes under the trailer there is only one trailer axle. When it goes to a wider angle shot, the trailer is back to having two axles. Also that trailer type has two support beams running down the center of the trailer from front to back. In this scene they are missing. See more »

Dispatcher: Just packed up a real money load and it's comin' your way. Look for "Rodgers" on the side of the truck. Don't forget my share of the deal.
