Continuity: When Spartan and Huxley arrive at the cryogenics place to battle Phoenix, Phoenix sees them on the monitor walking into the building and you see Spartan on the left and Huxley on the right. The camera angle changes to an inside view and Spartan is now on the right.
Continuity: When Spartan drives the car through the glass window, you see glass everywhere. The camera angle changes to a wide shot and you see the car driving away but no glass on the ground.
Continuity: When Spartan slams the Cryogenic pill on the ground he is about 3 feet in front of Phoenix, but when you see him jump up to grab the claw, he is seen much farther away.
Continuity: When Spartan switches seats with Huxley in the police car, the outside shot shows him get into the back seat. When the shot switches to Huxley in the driver's seat, we can see the back and Spartan isn't seen anywhere in the car.
Visible crew/equipment: When Pheonix falls through the glass at the museum into the LA exhibit, you can see him sliding down a clearly visible safety rope. His feet are even in the position to be sliding down the rope.
Continuity: The guard Phoenix throws through the glass case has on footwear which resembles socks. As he is smashing through the glass, he has on heavier leather boots.
Continuity: After Spartan goes through the glass SAPD sign, the car flips over on its roof. But when they show the car up close its now right side up.
Continuity: During the final fight scene, Spartan grabs Phoenix and they land on top of the ice block and roll off in front of a few metal jugs. The camera angle changes to a close up and the jugs are not there anymore as you see Spartan punching Phoenix.
Factual error: The display on John Spartan's cryogenic reads, "August 3, 2032," which will fall on a Tuesday. Later that same day, Huxley says to Warden Smithers, "It's a beautiful Monday morning"
Continuity: When Spartan is hunting for Phoenix at the Cryogenics lab, the 2 scratches on his face appear and disappear throughout the scene.
Continuity: During the glass floor shootout at the museum Spartan shoots a light that falls through the glass. Right after Spartan shoots the light it goes dark but the close up of the light falling and hitting the floor shows the light to be still lit.
Continuity: When Spartan is initially frozen in the cyro-liquid, air bubbles and ripples are in the ice around his mouth. Any following shot of him in the ice block shows no bubbles or ripples.
Audio problem: In the European version, Taco Bell is replaced by Pizza Hut, however, when Huxley says to John Spartan that they're going to Pizza Hut, her lips say "Taco Bell".
Continuity: When Phoenix is fighting the police at the kiosk, he knocks the sunglasses off of one officer, but in the next shot the glasses are back when the cop is knocked out.
Continuity: When Phoenix blows up the door sealing the Armory, it is just about the size of a normal door, but when he runs through it to escape into the main hall, the door is four times larger.
Continuity: In the opening scene as Spartan is getting ready to bungee down to the roof, he kicks a bag out of the chopper that pulls the cord out with it; the bag is never seen in any other shots of the cord as Spartan drops.
Revealing: Watch closely as Phoenix is about to fight the cops near the computer kiosk: the same two people wearing white robes pass behind the officer with the hand-held computer twice.
Continuity: When the Cryo-Prison worker opens the cabinet that holds the cylinders that contain the blue "freezing balls" to freeze Spartan's slush, the slot on the center left is empty. When the shot changes to the worker pulling the cylinder out, the slot to the lower left is now the empty one.
Continuity: During the Oldsmobile dealership scene two robed citizens are shown to be looking at small scale model cars on the rear wall (blue car) and side wall (red car) in the showroom. When Huxley and Spartan bust through the floor in the elevator the two citizens are missing.
