When the truck with the four brothers hits Barry's car the second time it comes from the same direction. It returns too quickly anyway. [That's because the car was only hit once. The interior scene references the same incident in slow motion, illustrating Lena's confusion and Barry's deep concern for her wellbeing.]

Next to Lena's apartment there is a fire protection door in the hallway with a closing mechanism. However, when he leaves her after the rendezvous the door is open (and stays open while he walks off and Lena closes the door to her apartment). But when he returns a minute later to make up for the rather formal good-bye he dramatically storms through the fire protection door which is now closed, although there's nobody around who might have done that. [After the phone call, Barry rushes around the entire complex looking for Lena's apartment again. He could have possibly run this way previously, opening or closing doors as he went.]

While Barry is making some calls from the Hawaii phone booth it suddenly gets dark, and the light in the phone booth goes on. Later, when he meets Lena at the hotel, it's broad daylight again. [The scene where Barry and Lena meet at the hotel is shot very artistically with artifical backlighting. After this scene, they are again shown outside (having dinner), where it is still dark.]
