Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Very close to the beginning of the film, when they first land the helicopter in the abandoned city, there is an alligator on the steps of a bank. A few seconds later when a zombie comes out of the bank and the alligator runs down the steps, you can see a red band covering his mouth (that wasn't there before) to prevent him from biting the actor. (Time)

Mistake Revealing: In the very beginning when we are flying over the dead town in a helicopter, look closely at one of the very first shots of the "empty" city. On one of the left side streets you can see a car driving down the road. It’s not a character mistake because she is looking hard out the window and should have spotted the moving car.

Mistake Revealing: When Rhodes is pointing his gun at Steele, telling him to shoot Sarah, there's no bullet in the chamber of his gun.

Mistake Continuity: When Miguel opens the gate a herd of zombies come in. Later, when some zombies come from the bunker where they kept the specimens, several of the zombies are the same, and an obvious one is a kid in a football uniform. The zombies in the bunker had no way out, so how could the zombies be in two places at once?

Mistake Revealing: Just after Rickles has his face torn off, you can see that there are no veins on the side of his eyeballs.

Mistake Revealing: When Steele shoots the soldier who got bitten in the neck, while trying to collect another zombie, he shoots him in the forehead; the blood splatter appears directly behind his forehead. When the soldier's head kicks back then moves forward, we see that there is no bullet hole in the soldiers forehead. We can also see there is no bullet hole, because Steele's flashlight is shining on the soldier's forehead.

Mistake Continuity: When Miguel opens the gate and lets the zombies in, there is a herd of zombies that comes in. Later, when they show some zombies coming from the bunker where they kept the specimens, several of the same zombies come out of the bunker. An especially obvious one is a kid in a football uniform. If the zombies in the bunker were kept there without a way out, how could the zombies be in two places at once?

Mistake Audio problem: When Miguel and Steele are collecting some more of the zombies, Steele says 'Nice hat, asshole,' and laughs. Watch carefully at the end bit: they dubbed a laugh into the movie, but it's painfully obvious that his mouth doesn't move as he does it.

Mistake Revealing: In the very beginning of the movie, Laurie Cardille is sitting looking at a wall with nothing but a calendar on it. She rises and walks up to the wall to get closer look at calender. Suddenly hands come out of the wall. If you look closely, you can see the round marks on the "cement" block wall where the hands will come out. Viewed best when freeze framed just before hands emerge.
