Directed by: Jan de Bont
Starring: Angelina Jolie, Gerard Butler, Ciaran Hinds, Chris Barrie
Revealing mistake: During the scene where Lara and Reiss's henchmen are fighting in the lab with the orb, look closely: the computer monitors in the background briefly flicker (as most monitors appear on camera), indicating they were shot in the background. During the close-ups, this does not occur.
Revealing mistake: When Lara and the guy race with their bikes by the Great Wall, Lara's stunt is noticeable because her face is rounder and not so angular.
Factual error: In beginning scene with the shark, it growls when it sees Lara. C'mon, how many sharks actually growl? (00:14:15)
Lara: I'm laughing at the fact I used to find you charming.
Terry: I am charming.
Trivia: Lara tells Terry that she will take "four minutes" with Chen Lo. The fight sequence between her and Chen Lo ends almost exactly four minutes later.
Question: Exactly how plausible was the jump from the skyscraper that Terry and Lara did with their suits? With those very small "wings" or whatever the proper name for those yellow extensions is that were attached to their suits, in reality wouldn't they have plummeted to the ground instead of gliding away?

Answer: Very plausible. The suits exist - they are called glide suits or wingsuits and lots more info can be found with a quick Google search.
