TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Bozwik is watching his tape, when the recording says "Today, it is you who will be railroaded," Bozwik instantly goes from looking forward to looking upwards between cuts.

Continuity mistake: When Samar leads Ryan into the lab at the beginning of the film, the door closes almost all the way. However, when the scene cuts inside the lab, the door is suddenly almost all the way open again, and closes a second time.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Gregory reveals himself as the killer, pay attention as he walks towards Tree clapping. The mask on the ground behind him is initially face-down and right next to the wall. But a few shots later, suddenly it is face-up and has moved about a foot to the left.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: The second time Tree wakes up, she does a mock "gunshot" to her forehead using her fingers. She then turns her head downwards. When the camera cuts, she instantly goes from looking down to looking to her right. (You have to look closely since only part of her head is in frame, but it's definitely noticeable).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When alternate-universe Danielle is pretending to be blind in the food court, she starts to feel her hand around Tree. At one point, she starts to move her hand down Tree's back, but when it cuts, suddenly her hand is at the side of Tree's head.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the basketball game, there's someone in a red hoodie and a baby mask sitting directly next to Ryan. A few shots later, you can see over his shoulder, and there's someone else entirely next to him - a woman without a baby mask wearing an entirely different top. Then, a little later in the scene, the person in the baby mask and hoodie reappears next to Ryan in a few wide-shots.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Ryan leads Tree and Carter to where he was killed in the beginning, as Tree walks to the closet with the baseball bat, she passes through some light and into a shadow. (There are areas of light and shadow in the room). When the camera cuts, suddenly she's back in the light.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the very last fight, when Rick jumps down and charges the Emperor, watch his hands. In the first shot, they're moving back and forth as he runs. Then it cuts, and they're instantly up like a boxer despite him having no time to lift them between edits. Then it cuts to a shot from behind, and you can tell from his shoulders that he no longer has his arms up. Again, there's not enough time for him to have lowered his arms between edits. It goes by quickly so you have to pay close attention.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the big chase, when Alex is under the chariot, he lets go, spins around and climbs up the back with Lin's help. In one shot under the chariot, you can see that he has a big hole in the left kneecap of his pants. But a few shots later as he's climbing up the back, the hole disappears and is missing throughout the rest of the scene. Seems the wardrobe got damaged and then replaced during filming.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Evie goes to seduce Rick, she pulls the belt on her gown and the camera cuts. Instantly between cuts, her robe is suddenly open.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Rick tells Alex that he put down "more mummies" than him and Alex replies "You put down ONE mummy, dad!" watch Alex's head. In the first shot, he's facing Rick. When it cuts, suddenly he's instantly looking to his right, and then he turns his head to face Rick again.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Alex arrives at the club towards the beginning, Jonathan pulls him away from the pretty woman and gets him a drink. The camera is behind them in a medium-wide shot, then cuts to a side shot as the pretty woman walks by and Alex watches her. Except when the camera cuts, the pretty woman just sort of appears right next to Alex, when she wasn't visible in the previous shot. Jonathan also goes from looking straight forward at Alex to looking to his right at the bar between the same cut.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When the group go to the DARPA HQ during the post credits scene, pay attention to the doors as they enter the lab - the doors we see on the outside do not match the doors we see on the inside, revealing the scene was shot on two separate sets. (Most noticeably, the windows on the doors get significantly narrower once they are inside the lab).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: Throughout the final confrontation with Gregory, Tree has a bracelet on her left wrist. However, in the two closeup shots of her pressing the button on the magnetic medical equipment with her left hand, the bracelet disappears. (Looks like they forgot to have her wear it when they shot the closeup).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Tree wakes up from committing suicide with the drain cleaner, she starts pouring a water bottle into her mouth. In the wide shot, her mouth is wide open, her tongue is all the way in her mouth, and there's a steady stream of water pouring off her chin. But then it punches into a closeup, and her mouth is instantly halfway closed, her tongue is pushed forward, and the stream of water has suddenly slowed to a drip. Obviously a few seconds was cut for pacing, but still a mistake.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When everyone is leaving the basketball game near the beginning, watch the crowds around the main characters as they walk down the hallway. Sometimes the extras aren't consistent from show to shot. Ex. At one point a black couple brushes past Ryan - the man is on his right and the woman is on his left. When the shot cuts to the opposite angle, suddenly the man is to Ryan's left and the woman is totally missing. This happens a few times throughout the scene.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the short scene when Jonathan is talking to the yak at the camp, he instantly goes from facing sideways at the yak to facing forward at the campfire between edits at one point.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Rick, Alex and Jonathan are going over their plan at the mountain temple, watch Jonathan's hands when he sits down. He takes both of his gloves off. However, during one quick shot in the scene (where Jonathan says "Me?"), suddenly his left glove is back on. The next time you see him a second or so later, both gloves are back off again. There's absolutely no reason why he'd put one glove back on only to take it right back off, nor would there be enough time for him to do so between edits.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the final battle, when Mad Dog and Jonathan are in the plane, Mad Dog remarks about his men drinking for free at Jonathan's bar, and it cuts to a closer shot of Jonathan. In the first shot, Jonathan isn't holding the plane's doorway, but in the second shot, he is. Additionally, Jonathan goes from facing forward to facing Mad Dog between the edits, and a gun appears in front of Jonathan in the second shot that wasn't there in the first shot.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the final battle, when the planes arrive, pay attention to Evie when she says the line "Jonathan certainly knows how to make an entrance!" Between cuts, she instantly goes from being about two feet away from Rick to pressed right up against him.
