• Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr., John LaJoie, Rob Riggle, and Keegan-Michael Key, all of whom are stand-up comedians, improvised much of their dialogue.
• Many police officers in the film hold their weapons with their finger on the trigger – a mistake no real law enforcement officer would make.
• When Jake Johnson's character practices self-defense techniques with a child, sergeant's chevrons are visible on his clothing. In the next scene, during patrol, these chevrons are no longer there. And he gets "promoted" to sergeant during patrol the next day.
• When Ryan plays football with the kids for the first time, his hoodie is inside out. After a while, it is right side out.
• Several times during the film, characters fire firearms in small, enclosed spaces without any hearing protection. This would have caused them hearing loss.
• When the heroes arrived to stake out the mobster, they were in a red car. But when pursuing the truck, they switched to a police car.
• When the "Mexican" spits at the Black police officer at the 56-minute mark, the "Mexican" does not have gold teeth at that moment. They appear during the water torture scene.
• While staking out the mobster in the apartment and photographing the suspects, Jake Johnson's character is initially dressed as a detective, but midway through the stakeout, right before Andy Garcia's character appears, his outfit changes back to a police uniform.
• At the 69th minute of the film, during the club fight, the hero is hit in the jaw, and it is the only hit. Later, throughout the film, Justin walks around with a bruise near his eye.
• When Jake Johnson's character practices self-defense techniques with a child, sergeant's chevrons are visible on his clothing. In the next scene, during patrol, these chevrons are no longer there. And he is "promoted" to sergeant during patrol the next day.
• When, on the 56th minute, the 'Mexican' spits at a Black police officer, the 'Mexican' does not have gold teeth at that moment. They appear during the waterboarding scenes.
