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.
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: Close to the beginning of the film when we see Del and his boss in the bar drinking together, just before Del leaves, you see his boss put his hand up to his head, in one shot, you can see he actually has a closed fist to his head, then in the following shot, his hand is open and on top of his head.
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.
Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, Spooner turns on his CD player-ish thing and the music starts (timestamp at 0:00). Two or three seconds later (with no interruption in the music), the player is seen again, showing a timestamp of 10 seconds. Submitted by Sereenie
Continuity: The time shown on the video that Will Smith watches in the Doctor's house jumps backwards - we see it count up to about 24 seconds, then we cut away from it (still hearing the video playing) for about 10 seconds, then when we cut back it's only up to about 26 seconds.

Factual error: When Del Spooner jumps down from the control panel level of VIKI to get to her brain and inject the nano-robots, he tries to slow his fall by holding onto the glowing pipes. He lets go rather far from the platform above. Considering that he is already falling very fast, he should have landed very hard and cringed from the impact, but he merely landed and absorbed the impact by bending his knees. That would not be possible.
