In one of the opening scenes when Frank returns home from his first assignment in the film, he finds his front stoop covered with mail and newspapers which have accumulated during his absence. It is unlikely that a security professional of his stature would not cancel his deliveries or arrange to have it collected by a neighbor/friend. ["Unlikely" does not equal "impossible". This is an opinion, not a mistake.]

In the fight in the kitchen Frank pins Tony down with a chair and sits on it. It's obvious that the bar between the legs of the chair is a few centimeters above Tony's throat, therefore, his choking sounds are not really justified. [The choking sound is only the first time when he initially places the chair to pin Frank down. Also Frank Scibelli's character is tired after Kevin Costner took him down, the sounds are not all choking sounds.]
There's a certain inconsistency about Rachel's popularity. Earlier in the movie some admirers recognize her in the street in spite of her sunglasses and ask for autographs and to be photographed with her. A little later just the announcement that she would show up in the Mayan makes people go crazy inside and outside the club. But in the date scene nobody in the bar even glances at her, the totally undisguised Academy Award nominee. [No not really. Remember Whitney Houston's character travels in different circles than Frank. The bar they go to is very working-class with the beer and hotdogs being served and all. I am watching the movie now and she even says to Frank "your type of place your type of music" It is entirerly possible that she may not be recognized.]
Frank introduces himself on the intercom at Rachel's gate as Alexander Graham Bell, but the limo driver asks him why he called himself Thomas Edison. [The limo driver was not the man on the intercom. It is the driver who asks Frank his name, and Frank responded Thomas Edison. The driver asks why later, after Frank returns from inside.]
In the scene where Kevin Costner takes Whitney to his home following their date, he throws Whitney's silk scarf up in the air in order to demonstrate the samuarai sword's sharpness. However, as he throws the scarf in the air, it touches the sword and is not cut; it is only as it falls back down that the scarf is cut in half. [It needs the weight of the throw to cut it - thats why it doesn't cut in half when he just places it on the sword.]
In the scene in Frank's basement Rachel does some fake attacks with the sword. You hear the usual, movie-typical whizzing sounds which could be produced by a martial artist but not by the rather slow Rachel. [I have seen this film a few times and I was always under the impression that Rachel herself was making the whizzing sound, not that it was an added sound.]
