Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the shootemup scene at the hangar, at the beginning of the film, Castor Troy shoots an agent in the stomach and the agent flies back - you can see the wire pulling him backwards.

Mistake Continuity: At the end of the film, when Nicolas Cage and John Travolta are lying next to each other in the ambulance, there is no blood on Travolta's shirt collar and suddenly, between shots, the collar is covered in blood.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: At the Walsh Institute, after Sean gives his ring to Tito, when the stainless steal sliding door closes, the camera and a crew member, or likely the director, is seen looking behind the camera lens in the glass window reflection.

Mistake Continuity: When Sean and Tito first drive the Hummer onto the runway, the jet is a mere short distance away, coming towards them. In the following shots, the distance between the Hummer and the jet has increased tremendously, for the ensuing drama to unfold.

Mistake Continuity: On the chopper, when Sean Archer points his gun out the window, in the shot facing him the window to his right is a double slide type. In the next shot, from inside the chopper, his arm is through a single window that flips down.

Mistake Continuity: When Cage and Dubov are making their escape, Dubov falls over the rail and Cage catches his gun then tries to save him. In the last shot before Dubov falls, Cage is holding on to the very last tip of the gun, but in the wide shot he is holding a lot more of the barrel.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Sean (as Castor Troy) is doing the ‘water skiing’ thing, trying to hang on to the speedboat’s chain, in the close-up the harness he wears is visible under his wet white shirt.

Mistake Continuity: On the speedboat, when the anchor comes loose from the boat's bow it takes with it a large chunk of metal and leaves a gaping hole, but next shot, as the anchor falls to the water, the huge hole is gone leaving only the bullet holes on the surface.

Mistake Revealing: In the big speedboat scene near the end, when Cage is hanging off the side of the boat the stunt double is obvious in wide shots, where the entire boat is visible from above. He has big long sideburns, which are in stark contrast to Cage's short 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.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: At the L.A. Convention Center, just before Castor Troy (as Sean Archer) disarms the bomb, there are a few shots of all the extras evacuating the area. In the interior shot, that looks out through the glass doors onto the street, the tracking crane arm with a seated camera operator and camera on its platform is visible as it shoots an exterior crane shot of all the extras, which was seen among the previous shots.

Mistake 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.
