Chain Reaction (1996) - 9 mistakes
starring Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, Rachel Weisz (add more)
Factual error: In a radio news voice-over shortly before the first chase scene, the newsreader comments that "Calls have flooded in from all over the world regarding Dr Barkley's research." He then goes on to mention that the Royal Academy in England has expressed an interest. The "Royal Academy" is more formally the Royal Academy of Arts. They probably mean the Royal Society, which is the most important scientific institution in the UK.
Continuity: There is a scene where Keanu Reeves slides down the bridge on his back. In the next scene where he meets Rachel Weisz in train station the camera shows his back. There is nothing wrong with his jacket, it looks like brand new. How's that possible?
Audio problem: During the chase scene at the science museum, there is a shot where an FBI Agent reports on a disturbance there. If you watch closely, you can see where he originally said the "Smithsonian", and the audio was dubbed to say "science museum".
Continuity: Morgan Freeman and Keanu Reeves meet in Chicago's Field Museum. Reeves runs off screen and suddenly appears in the Museum of Science and Industry clear across town.
Continuity: In the scene where Keanu Reeves and Rachel Wiesz are crossing the lake escaping from Yerkees Observatory, they are on Geneva Lake. However, the shot before they arrive at the house is a different lake.
Continuity: When Eddie is escaping with Lily from the museum he is on the right hand side of her but in the next shot of them he is now on the left.
Factual error: In the scene where Keanu Reeves breaks into a house (after the snowmobile chase) he kicks a door in. When any door is broken down in this way, the lock either breaks or is wrenched out of the door. However, when the door swings shut behind Reeves, there is an audible click as the latch closes again.
Continuity: When Keanu Reeves is walking past the homeless people, a cop car puts its lights and sirens on and proceeds away from where he is. The police car is then seen without its lights on but the sirens still going and coming from the same direction.
