Character Error
When she is apologizing for her exposure, Fat Amy's name is listed underneath her as Patricia (Fat) Amy. In the first film (Pitch Perfect), Amy states that her real name is Fat Patricia, not Fat Amy, suggesting that Patricia is her real first name. The way her name is presented in this film suggests that her first name is Patricia and her last name is Amy.
Continuity
There's no flower tattoo on Beca's shoulder anymore.
Factual Mistake
During DSM's performance at the "world's" some people in the front are cheering for them, waving the Belgian flag (vertical black-yellow-red) instead of the German flag (horizontal black-red-yellow).
Factual Mistake
At the world championship in Denmark, one of the supposedly Danish signs says 'veiligheid', which is actually Dutch for security.
Miscellaneous
At the Worlds, Benji is talking to Emily and says he needs to get back to his seat, even though the competition is Festival style and everyone is standing - there are no seats.
Revealing Mistakes
When the Bellas attempt to perform like Das Sound Machine and Ester Dean's hair catches on fire, the announcer's microphones are not plugged in during the first time they come on camera, the second time the microphones are plugged in, and overtime thereafter their microphones are unplugged and the male ends are visible.
