In the chase scene with Sly driving a cab and Antonio Banderas in the back, just as Antonio drops his gun when they crash into a bus, look at the advert on the side of the bus - anti NRA. Subtle? Perhaps not. [There is no mistake in that. It would maybe qualify as trivia but not even compelling enough to meet that criteria.]
Near the end, when Antonio Banderas is waiting for hours for Sly to come out of the building, he is sweating like anything, yet when he runs out of the building and into the bank, he looks as fresh as a daisy. [Unless you can give a specific change, there does not appear to be any difference. When he walks into the bank he looks extremely hot and sweating profusely.]
When Sly is driving Banderas in the cab, Banderas knocks on the window partition and comments how it's bulletproof. Yet when Banderas says something to get Sly angry, Sly hits that "bulletproof" window with an open hand and cracks it. How can an open hand hit crack a bulletproof glass? [Bullet proof glass is a mizture of both glass and plastics layered throughout. When Rath palms the 'glass' the force of this blast appears to give a shattered effect. This is merely the outer layer of plastics that shatters. The glass underneath remains in tact and is not damaged. It is possible to get the same effect using real bullet proof glass. (Info from Wikipedia).]

In the stolen taxi cab scene near the beginning, Miguel fires his rifle at the bullet proof glass. What happens to the bullet? it doesn't go through, or Sly's character would be dead, it doesn't ricochet and hit the rear seat/window/Miguel, and it doesn't lodge in the window. [Since the glass broke but did not shatter, it softened the impact of the bullet, so it could have fallen to the floor.]
At one point in the film, Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas have to kill four Dutch bankers who are making a deal with Julianne Moore. When the assassins close in during the deal and the bankers realise something is wrong, they agitatedly talk to each other in... German. [No, they aren't. They are speaking Dutch. The two langauages are very similar and can easily be mistaken, but they are definitely speaking Dutch.]
When Stallone asks for more money for the disk, the woman says 25 million, then it shows the screen and it's only 20 million. She only later says 20 million. [He already knew what he was going to ask for the disk. She was just guessing numbers since she had no idea how much the disk could possibly be worth. [She said "Twenty f*cking million", not twenty-five]]
