Revealing: In the climax of the movie when Spooner and Calvin are fighting off the robots, there is a shot of Spooner standing on one of the catwalks shooting the robots as the camera spins around vertically. At the end of this shot if you look closely you can see Spooner's neck stretch out as if he was getting choked well before the robot actually grabs him.

Continuity: At the start of the film when Del is in the USR building and is looking over Dr Lanning's body, if you notice the shoe changes position from being not far from the body to some distance, also, it changes direction from the first time we see it, we are looking at the heel of the boot or the front, then it is completely side on in the next shot.

Factual error: The bridge that used to cross Lake Michigan would not be able to stand like that in real life. The road section should be collapsed, since the suspension cables are not reaching the other tower to the bridge. A suspension bridge works by having the giant cables between the towers having the smaller cables suspend the roads and relies on the presence of a second tower. With the second tower missing, even if the road section did not completely collapse, the cables would be taut under the weight of the bridge, not still in their curved configuration as seen in the film. Any futuristic material used in the construction is irrelevant - this is simply how the suspension bridge design functions.

Continuity: At the very beginning of the film when Del wakes up he reaches over to turn off his alarm clock. The red book, whose cover was partially under another book in a prior shot, has now moved.
