⇓

Continuity: When Jennings is being "hung" by Ekhert's character, the fiber-optic cabling is wrapped around his neck. When he gets up to the catwalk and he pulls it off, the cabling has all of a sudden become a well spliced loop on the end of the cabling.

Continuity: When Jimmy conks Mike on the head with the cannister (during the fight in the lab), there is a large strand of cable around Jimmys' neck. In the next shot, as he starts to stand up, the cable has disappeared.

Continuity: After Ben Affleck finds the bug in the machine, he pulls the bit out and turns to Uma Thurman. In that shot of Uma we see that Ben's got a big smile on his face. It then cuts immediately back to just Ben, who has a straight face and immediately cracks a big grin.

Continuity: When Jimmy visits Rachel in her apartment to tell her that Michael has left, in the shot from over his shoulder he places his right hand on her shoulder and then moves it down to the top of the arm and starts 'massaging it'. However when the shot shifts to in front of him his right hand is just sitting on her shoulder. It changes back again when the shot changes.

Factual error: The setting isn't right at all. When the shot of the Space Needle is shown, there aren't nearly enough tall buildings shown, and you should be able to see at least a little water somewhere.

Factual error: When Ben finally uses the machine, we see a lot of flashes of events, some from the recent past (the items he sent himself), and some from the future (war). However, one shot of a nuclear blast is actually a picture of a very famous explosion from the '60s, I think (an above ground test on an island somewhere), just with a city superimposed at the front of the photo instead of some watery flat land. I've got a poster of that very explosion on my wall. Hardly a future event.

Continuity: Throughout most of the movie Michael is wearing a white dress shirt that no matter what he does never seems to get any dirt or markings on it whatsoever. (This mistake pertains to after he does the 3 year job).

Audio problem: When Jennings finally reaches the machine and tries to see his future, before fixing it, we see him activating the machine. There are seven clicks as he flips on the switches at his right hand, however, there are only six switches.

Continuity: In the bike chase scene the bikes tires change from normal road tires to knobbly off road tires.

Factual error: In the scene where Mike is in the subway trying to short the controls with a paperclip; the circuit board appears to be an ATX computer motherboard. The cards he pulls out appear to be PCI cards. Also, the motherboard is missing RAM and has no power supply attached to it. Furthermore, why would sensitive electrical circuit boards be mounted in a locked metal box in a damp subway?

Continuity: Seattle seems to have a great number of blue Dodge Neons. During the motorcycle chase scene, we see a blue Dodge neon sedan no less then 5 times.

Other: Several times, Jennings sees himself being shot on the catwalk, and each time there is a closeup on the flying bullet as it travels toward his chest. But in the following shots, as he falls to the ground, there is never any indication of a wound where the bullet should have hit. The time viewer is always perfectly accurate and bases its predictions on the determined actions of the present, not theories of what actions could take place in the future. There is no way the time viewer could simply be omitting this detail.

Continuity: When Michael is checking the stamps with the magnifying glass, the way he is holding the magnifying glass changes several times in the scene, from him holding the bottom edge to having his fingers around the edge of it.

Continuity: Near the end of the bike chase scene, the BWM motorcycle low sides on gravel, bit afterwards show no sign of damage.
