Miscellaneous
When Dr. Dre is shown shifting gears in the Ferrari Testarossa, the shifter is not from a Ferrari. The shifter on a Testarossa is much longer and thin with a ball-type knob.
Continuity
When Eazy-E is confronting Jerry at the kitchen table, the original theatrical release contains an editing error. Jerry says "I always had your back" and Eazy-E replies. The exact same dialog is repeated word for word about six seconds later.
Errors in Geography
The group run outside when unrest breaks out in what is supposed to be Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. The bridge and crown of the venue are obvious to SoCal natives as being that of the Los Angeles Sports Arena.
Factual Mistake
The doctor told Eazy-E that he was HIV positive, when he really had what was once known as "full blown AIDS" when it was discovered, which is why, combined with his other ailments, he died within weeks of the discovery.
Factual Mistake
During a scene at Death Row Records, Dr. Dre enters the studio to play "California Love" instrumental for 2pac. Pac is laying vocals for "Hail Mary" released in 97' yet Cali. Love was recorded in 95'.
