Factual error: After the explosive decompression of the JPATS B727, and the captain's initial recovery, he tells the crew, "Look at your charts... See if there is any airport we can make." The F/O looks right down at his reference and says there is "nothing close." Then the second officer is seen looking through his flight charts. Without skipping a beat, he replies that, "there is a road, 20miles ahead." Since they have lost two of three engines on the 727, the captain doesn't hesitate and commits to an emergency landing on, "this road." Also, at this very moment, the "road" in question is not even in sight. The problem with this entire situation is that there are no roads, highways, ETC on flight air charts. Above the clouds, no one in this cockpit would have had the slightest clue that there was a road below, its distance, width, etc. (00:20:20)

Continuity mistake: When the funeral cars enter the the cemetery the silver car they are watching has 3 small dents near the door handle as the car passes Tommy Lee Jones but when it stops the dents are gone.

Other mistake: When Royce tells Gerard he's going after Roberts after noticing him in the trees he takes his finger off the transmit button on his radio halfway into telling Gerard he's going after Roberts, but Gerard responds as if he heard everything Royce said.

Audio problem: When Gerard tells Royce and Cosmo to take the left side of the van while he and Newman take the right his mouth isn't moving when he says it.

Continuity mistake: After Newman is found shot, Deputy Gerard grabs his radio to call for help, however, he turned off his radio when he began the search of building for the fugitive and he never turns it back on. (01:43:00 - 01:46:00)

Plot hole: After the police arrest Roberts he's flagged for a federal warrant, but Lamb and Barrows don't show up to inquire about him until long after the plane crash. Shouldn't they have been there to pick Roberts up at the police station instead of being sent immediately to a federal penitentiary?

Character mistake: Sheridan (as Roberts) takes a job as a tow truck driver while laying low from the U.N. killings. He claims he had the gun for protection, but he must have realised if he ever had to use that weapon on the job his prints would have been run anyway, so why on earth would he take any kind of job that requires him to need a weapon if he's trying to lay low?

Sam Gerard: Get the tapes from the U.N. surveillance.
John Royce: I don't think we have clearance for those.
Sam Gerard: Get the clearance, get the tapes, don't tell me what we can't do.
