Ice (1994)
Several jeweller's shops in L.A. are robbed, altogether diamonds worth 60 million dollars are gone. The police investigations don't lead to any success, although they suspect mobster Malta behind it. The insurance company hires the minor criminals Ellen and Charley to steal back the diamonds. They have success, but decide that $50,000 aren't enough reward. So they try to make a better deal - with any party. Will the self-assured Ellen and her brother be able to deal with two mob parties on one side, and a clever detective with romantic intentions on the other?

Continuity
Vito Maltas car entourage is shown to be two 90s Cadillacs when driving through town. When they return to his mansion, one of the cars is suddenly a late 80s Mercedes-Benz.
Revealing mistakes
When escaping the mansion after the heist, the driveway is blocked by a 90s Cadillac. When that car is exploded though, it switches to a late 70s Chevrolet Impala.
Plot holes
Before the big finale Traci calls a black market arms dealer. They meet up and she uses the money from the one diamond she sold ($3,000) to buy 10 hand grenades and 2 fully automatic Mack 10's. These weapons are never used in the showdown. Only semi-automatic hand guns are used. Visibly different guns entirely. She does rig the helicopter to explode, but you'd not use hand grenades for that.
