Revealing: In the shootemup scene in the hanger at the beginning of the film Pollux Troy shoots an agent in the stomach and the agent flies back - you can see the rope pulling him.

Continuity: At the end of the film, when Nicolas Cage and John Travolta are lying next to each other in the ambulance, the amount of blood on Travolta's shirt collar varies, from a lot, to hardly any, then to a lot once more.

Continuity: In the big speedboat scene near the end of the film, when Nicolas Cage's character is hanging off the side of the boat. The stunt double who appears for Cage in the far-away shots, where the entire boat is visible from above, has big long sideburns, which are in stark contrast to Cage's shorn hair, visible in closer shots. At various other points in the movie, stunt doubles appear of much different physical builds than the two actors, with markedly different hair colours, and I seem to recall that at least one of them had facial hair.

Continuity: When Dubov is in prison and is about to be electrocuted, his boots are taken off and he is left with inner boots. After the shooting and killing, he scrambles on the floor and is barefoot when he throws the cot against the security guards, then he climbs up the stairs and has the inner boots on again.

Continuity: When Sean Archer is flying the helicopter to keep the plane from taking off, Castor Troy shoots the helicopter windshield three times, but there are four bullet marks.

Factual error: In the hangar scene when Castor and Archer point their guns at each other, if Castor's gun was really empty the slide would be locked back.

Continuity: When Archer (Castor Troy at the time) takes the cigarettes from the daughter's room, and goes to light one up, when he opens the pack, the end of the smokes is orange, yet after Archer takes a puff, the entire cigarette is white with no orange end.

Continuity: During the cemetery scene where they visit the son's grave, you see a wide shot of them walking between the stones. There are leaves on the trees and neatly trimmed grass. When we see a close up of the stone and the plaque in the ground, a hand reaches down to brush the leaves off so they can read it, and there are dead leaves all around - but there were no leaves on the ground in the wide shot.

Revealing: At the boat scene when Archer is holding on to the red boat and is skiing on the side, you can clearly see the waterproof boots he is wearing.

Audio problem: When Dominique Swain's boyfriend is trying to push himself on her, you can hear her screaming when the shot is outside the car, and the screaming continues when the shot's showing the both of them, but she isn't screaming.

Continuity: When Cage and that big guy are making their escape, the big guy falls over the rail and Cage catches his gun and tries to save him.  In the last scene before he falls, Cage is holding on to the very last tip of the gun, but it shows a wide shot and he is holding a lot more of the barrel.

Revealing: In the scene when Castor Troy kills Agent Winters the sky is blue. There is only one cloud just above the fuselage. This cloud doesn't move, at least not that fast as it should as the jet is near take-off speed. The aircraft stands still when the actress falls out of the jet. In the ensuing shot, when the dummy falls out, the sky is overcast and the aircraft moving again.

Visible crew/equipment: In the speedboat crash where the film is slowed down, there is a medium shot of Troy and Archer flying through the air. It is very obvious that neither are the true actors.

Revealing: When the FBI agent asks Archer , "Sir, why are you upset? Its only Pollux Troy", you can see discoloration of a lump on his forehead which is makeup covering the blood pack for when Archer shoots him right after.

Factual error: In the scene in the hall where there are is a circle of mirrors where Castor and Sean engage in a shootout, there is a mistake as the FBI agent fires at Castor. The FBI agent is holding an M16 or M4 assault rifle with an M203 40mm grenade launcher. He fires two consecutive shots within a second of each other. This is impossible as the M203 attachment only holds 1 shell at a time and would take at least 5 seconds to grab another round and reload and fire again.

Visible crew/equipment: When the red boat has hit the barrier and Castor, Troy and Archer fly through the air, you can see a wire attached to the front of the boat just for a split second, and even a crane to lift it (at the top of the screen) when it's lowering itself in the water.

Continuity: When they are at the airport a car and a bush disappear and reappear below the writing "Welcome to Southern California International Airport"

Continuity: In the scene where Cage and Travolta are fighting in the dock, you see Cage stab Travolta with the harpoon gun (before he fires it). If you look at the arrow after Travolta is stabbed, there is blood on it. Then in the next shot, the arrow is suddenly clean.

Audio problem: When Castor wakes up from his coma, he reaches up to his face and pulls out the nose plugs that fed him oxygen. Strangely enough, his heart monitor stops beeping when the plug is removed. Submitted by Twotall

Visible crew/equipment: When Castor is pushed into the blowing heat from the plane engine by Sean and is thrown back, the man that lands against the grill is so obviously the stunt double; he has a different hair cut than Castor and really doesn't look anything like him.
