Goofs:

Continuity: When Chris is following Bill who is being held captive in the trunk of a car. The Mercedes SL that Chris is driving is clearly shown to have its convertible top down in many scenes, however whenever a close-up is taken of Chris driving, you can see his rear window which would indicate that the top is actually up.

Quotes:

Assistant D.A. Gina Garrett: I'll miss you guys, a little. I am going to sue for custody, though.
Detective Chris Lecce: [Pointing to Bill] Of him? Take him, he irritates the hell out of me.

Not As Bad As They Make It Out To Be

This movie was a nice follow-up to the classic Stakeout. Many reviewers seem to feel it's a typical sequel that doesn't live up to the predecessor. Yes, I'll admit, there were a couple of off moments, but overall the film is just as good as the original. The jokes and the banter are still funny and the situations they get in are hilarious. Probably the best indication of that is the opening chase after the story set-up. A lot of people also seem to say the premise of the movie is also a rehash of the first. It's a movie about a STAKEOUT. They don't get that much variation. You set up somewhere, you observe, you make the collar. The only thing that changes are the names and locations. Although these movies are a lot more fun that REAL stakeouts, they certainly keep the feeling.
