Continuity mistake: The pilot wakes up in a cold sweat and (without a change of clothes) starts putting on some pants and shaving. As he shaves, he puts on in close-up his shoes. Not only the shoes were nowhere to be seen (and the razor is on a short cord) but now he has socks too. (00:02:45)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: The pilot gets in the car to go to work, and pulls away from the curb. Or rather, from a flat image of a road with a car (shadows and distance from the other parked car are all wrong). (00:03:40)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: When the protagonist drives through Las Vegas and then to the airport, all the reflections in his car window are tacked-on post-production effects (obvious lens flare, images superimposed on the frame, etc). (00:03:50)

Sammo

Other mistake: When the pilot reaches the plane, the car 'slides' in front of the background in an obvious fake movement. Not that a pilot would drive his car and park it on the airport lane a few yards from its wheels anyway...in between two engines of a jumbo jet even. (00:04:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: First play, a couple wins $500,000. The flight attendant/croupier puts down 5 piles of red fiches. In the close-up where she completes the action, you can see on the table the glass the woman was drinking from a split-second before, and there's an orange chip that wasn't there. The player at the end of table is also holding his glass with a single hand and not two. (00:09:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Janet the stewardess is bending over to do some kitchen work, and a guy who was passing by gets all frisky about that. He has his hat in his right hand, but going through the door to act like a caveman (much to her delight, too) his hat switched to the left hand. (00:11:20)

Sammo

Other mistake: Everything is lost, or so it seems when a fuel leak is discovered. Carol the stewardess sobs because it was her last flight, and she was just 3 days away from her wedding. That's nice, too bad that it was the background story of the OTHER stewardess, Janet, as established when she was boinking Bob. (00:12:00 - 01:15:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Janet and the tech guy are copulating on the kitchen counter. We see them through one of the airplane window, then the camera angle changes, and they are doing it with a solid wall as background. (00:13:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The position, timing, and persistence of the green lights/auras induced by the 'storm' of green goo appear inconsistent throughout the scene. (00:14:00)

Sammo

Audio problem: When the mysterious lens flare creature possesses the microwave oven, its door opens with a disproportionate "creaking door hinges" sound effect. Inherent phoniness aside, the noise is also continuous, but if you look at the door, it did not open in one fluid motion; the actor's pelvic thrusts as he was boinking the stewardess got in the door's path for a moment putting it to a momentary halt. (00:14:05)

Revealing mistake: During the "green storm", the co-pilot finally gets to her station. Cut to the playroom, and one hilarious CGI bottle of booze spins around in the air being blatantly superimposed. (00:14:30)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: The cool hi-tech roulette table has trapdoors and a rolling surface and...no it does not. None of that is real, it's all poor CGI. (00:19:00)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: The co-pilot for some reason is analyzing some "hi-frequency signals" that the computer is picking up. The loop is not fluid though, and you can pick an exact frame when it's not like a chart spikes, it's a movie clip being played that reached the end and is starting from the beginning with a whole different image. (00:20:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The stewardess slips on a little streak of alien goo and falls on it knee-first (which already is pretty difficult to do). Her knee is stained by it in a different pattern between shots. (00:21:35)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: After bumping her knee, Janet retrieves a real bottle of booze from behind a stack of superimposed CGI bottles. (00:22:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Janet escorts the rich clients passing in front of the bar. When she comes back from the whole 2 meters walk, there's a towel on the counter that was not there before - and the other two staff members are still in the opposite side of the room. (00:23:10)

Continuity mistake: Janet escorts the two rich clients to their cabin, which happens to be literally next door. Forgetting the fact that it looks nothing like the luxury quarters of a plane, let alone a casino with millionaire bets, she closes the door, but then she comes out of the door that is still open. (00:23:40)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: Twice when both the couples of patrons are shown in their cabin and the camera pans from one to the other, right to left. Both times it's a fake panning shot with the wrong perspective in the CGI rooms, and in the second actual cabin you can even see the green screen. The first time around you can even see a door closed in one room and open in the adjacent one. (00:25:00 - 00:28:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Janet pulls down the bandage and watches (close-up) something move under her skin. She rightfully freaks out, but the bandage in that shot is rolled down in a different way, less folded on itself. (00:27:35)
