Continuity: In the same shot, note the top of the twin towers are in the clouds - its not a real nice day in NYC. But later when they're on the dock, there's not a cloud to be seen.

Continuity: In the wind tunnel scene, in one shot you can see Sylvester Stallone is facing the small hole; in the next shot he has his body side on.

Continuity: When Sylvester Stallone is in the tunnel with the survivors, he tells everyone to climb on the cars to stay dry, if you watch the female writer in the film closely, she climbs on top of the car twice.

Continuity: When the policeman holds the criminal in a choke move, the criminal holds his hands up to the policeman's arms, but, in the following shot he holds his hands up again.

Continuity: When the love interest (I forget her name) finally gets out of the tunnel by the blow-out thing, the water on the surface is all churned up, choppy, etc. Cut to a helicopter shot, where the water is a flat as a millpond.

Continuity: At the start, when all the main characters enter the tunnel Madelyne is in her car, and her window is open, but in the next shot from inside the window is closed.

Continuity: In the scene where the criminals are getting out of the police van, the black woman steps over the steel frame and grabs the seat belt with her right hand. In the following shot she is suddenly holding onto the steering wheel of the van.

Continuity: In the middle of the film, when Sylvester Stallone gets his yellow bomb wire snagged, if you look behind him Madelyne is on his left, but in the following few shots, she keeps switching from the left to the right, then back to the left.

Continuity: When the security guard is trapped underneath the truck, in daylight the amount of water he is drowning in changes. From the front angle he is also most covered in water and from the side angle he has more time.

Continuity: When the black criminal dies from an injury caused by the huge explosion at the mid river passage, Kit is leaning against the front bumper of a burnt out car, but a few shots later when the camera cuts to a wider angle, the car has vanished and all we see is the old man, Kit and the criminal on the floor with no car, but in the following shot the car reappears again. This has nothing to do with camera angles.

Continuity: When Kit gets all the survivors onto the top of the cars, out of the water to keep them "high and dry", Ashley's parents are standing on top of a car next to each other. In one particular shot there's a large distance between them, but in the previous shot they're next to each other.

Continuity: When Sylvester Stallone is climbing down the fans, he gets to the last one, looks at the timer, and it says 11, several seconds later you see the clock again, and its only on 10.

Continuity: When Nord is in the mid river passage on the cellphone, and it cuts to a large object, the large object is sitting on something, which is seen, but when one of its chains breaks loose from the wall, nothing is holding it at the bottom when it begins to swing.

Revealing: Just after Roy Nord gets killed in the mid river passage collapse, we see one of the criminals and Kit come out of the hole, and the black criminal get thrown back by a big flame explosion. When he hits the wall, it seems to bend.

Continuity: When we see Madelyne for the first time, she is in her apartment and gets a drink. She then goes to sit down next to her computer, she switches on her lamp and puts something down on the table. In the following shot it looks like she reaches for something with her right arm over her computer, but this was not seen in the previous shot.

Other: As Sylvester Stallone explodes the grid to come up in the tunnel, the car on top is like a lightweight car, it seems to be stuck to the ground.

Other: When Sylvester Stallone is about to drop down from the third fan, he attempts to tie it to the hoop in the middle, but instead ties it to the fan itself, in the following scene, if you look closely at the fan above, the rope is now tied to the middle.

Factual error: In the beginning of the movie, the explosion in the Holland Tunnel is caused when a car crashes into the trucks carrying toxic waste barrels. In real life, it is against the law for vehicles carrying hazardous chemicals to use any of the tunnels. Even if the drivers didn't know this, which is highly unlikely, they would have been pulled over by the Port Authority cops as soon as they headed for the entrance - lots of yellow barrels would be a bit suspicious.

Continuity: When Kit rushes to a table and scrambles everything off it to pick up a large object to stop the fan, the timer in the background says 28 seconds. But when Kit walks up to the big fan to slow it down we see the timer again and it says 19 seconds, but only two or three seconds have passed since we last saw the timer so it should be at about 24 or 25.

Continuity: When Roy Nord is about to go into the mid river passage, a girl is taping him on her digital camcorder. In the first shot her hand is gripping the camcorder's screen and bottom with one finger next to the LCD display, but in the following shot all of her fingers are at the bottom of the camcorder.
