Revealing mistake: At the start, Hattie flings her shotgun over her back, and runs forward to jump on some boxes. In this shot you see the two bad guys that she takes down stood waiting for their cue to move. (00:01:35)
Continuity mistake: When Hattie leaps over the crates at the start she is still on the crates when the camera changes to an aerial view. In the new angle, she is suddenly kicking 1 bad guy while taking out a second bad guy. Both of whom are around 4ft away from the crate. (00:01:40)
Factual error: When Hattie is firing at Brixton she only fires 4 shots before weapon stops. She is using a Glock 26 which carries 10+1 rounds and the slides doesn't lock back yet she still pulls the trigger and you can hear the "click'. (00:02:35)
Continuity mistake: In the diner at the start, Luke's daughter hands him her family tree. Hobbs is holding it with one hand, then two hands, then one. (00:09:40)
Continuity mistake: When looking at the family tree, Hobbs holds the page up. Camera cuts and now it's on the table. (00:10:00)
Continuity mistake: When the big stack of pancakes arrives at the table, one of the waitresses disappears instantly. (00:10:40)
Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Shaw is on the phone in prison, her grip on the phone receiver is constantly changing between instant cuts. (00:12:30)
Continuity mistake: When Locke holds up the paper displaying the CT17 virus info, his grip on the page is constantly changing. Note his fingers in relation to the picture. (00:14:10)
Continuity mistake: When Locke undoes his shirt he leaves his top button done up. Camera changes and now his top button is undone. (00:14:10)
Continuity mistake: When looking at Hattie's file in the diner, Hobbs holds up her picture in the file so it's bent. When the camera changes however her picture is shown lying flat. (00:14:50)
Continuity mistake: When looking at Hattie's file, the picture changes in the file. It's only a slight change but look to the top right corner, in the first shot of the picture where it's being lifted up there are 2 or 3 green lines in that corner. In the close ups those lines have gone. (00:14:55)
Continuity mistake: When reading Hattie's file, her picture keeps appearing and disappearing from the file. It's not removed at this point. (00:15:00)
Continuity mistake: When Locke is saying about how Hattie stabbed a man with a brick, his tie switches from over his shoulder to hanging down between shots. (00:15:20)
Continuity mistake: When Locke is saying about stabbing someone with a brick, the amount of smoothie/milkshake that Sam has left is constantly changing between camera angles. (00:15:30)
Continuity mistake: When the FBI guy places a paper on Shaw's windshield the position swaps between being parallel to the glass to slanted. The photo also goes from smooth to lifted up in one corner. (00:17:40)
Revealing mistake: When Locke holds up the CT17 fact sheet the article on the bottom of the page is actually the lines of the CIA Agent that talks to Shaw. Right down to remarks about Hattie. (00:18:00)
Continuity mistake: When Hobbs and Shaw are in the glass room meeting, Hobbs throws a chair that's next to the table at the glass towards the men on the other side. That chair lands on the floor near the glass, but when the camera pans after that, it shows Hobbs' hand on the backside of that same chair, and the chair is still at the table. (00:20:10)
Factual error: The grenade is kicked from its resting place and thus the firing pin is removed. 14 seconds later Shaw returns the pin to disarm the grenade, ignoring that mistake (which is already listed), a grenade's fuse is approximately 4 seconds. Much shorter than the 14 seconds shown on screen. (00:25:30)
Factual error: The grenade booby trap in Hattie's flat gets triggered, with the pin coming out and lever comes off. Once that happens the fuse is set and there's no way to stop it exploding, but Shaw puts the pin back in and renders it inert again. (00:25:50)
Continuity mistake: We see the grenade spinning without its lever. We then get a close up of the grenade complete with lever attached. (00:25:55)
Answer: Many viruses are specific to certain types of species and do not cross over and infect others. The Snowflake virus was a programmable super virus that apparently was genetically engineered for a particular target.
