Continuity mistake: When Lisa is on board the plane, she is wearing stiletto heels (best seen when she is collapsing in the bathroom). However, when she is running through the airport, she is wearing flat shoes. This is most easily seen when she comes of the transporter belt, when she trips and one of her feet swings into the air. Later, when she kicks Jack on the stairs of her house, she is wearing stiletto heels again.
Red Eye (2005)
Plot summary
Directed by: Wes Craven
Starring: Rachel McAdams, Brian Cox, Cillian Murphy, Laura Johnson
Genres: Thriller
Lisa (Rachael McAdams) is a trusted employee at a big hotel in Miami where a politician, Keefe, and his family are coming to stay. Jackson Ripner (Cillian Murphy) is hired to assassinate the whole Keefe family (because of a recent controversal comment Keefe made). For their plan to work, they need to switch the Keefe family from their usual room to a room that faces the sea. Then assassins will fire a missile from a boat at the room and kill the Keefe family.
They plan on threatening Lisa into pulling some strings and switching the rooms, but she had to fly to Houston to attend her grandmother's funeral.
On the return trip, Lisa is trapped on the plane next to Jackson, who tells her that she must call the hotel and convince them to switch the rooms or he will tell a hitman to kill her father.

Lisa Reisert: Is it Jack for short?
Jackson Ripner: No. I haven't gone by Jack since I was ten years old. Last name's Ripner.
Lisa Reisert: Jack Ripner... Jack the... Oh!
Jackson Ripner: There you go.
Lisa Reisert: That wasn't very nice of your parents.
Jackson Ripner: That's what I told them. Before I killed them.
Trivia: When in the plane's bathroom, in an early take Cillian Murphy threw Rachel McAdams so hard against the bathroom wall that he knocked her unconscious. If you look at the shot used in the movie where he throws her against the wall, you can see his hand in her hair protecting her head so he didn't hurt her again. Not a mistake, as he's not trying to knock her out in the film, just rough her up, but worth looking for.
Question: I don't understand parts of the scene where Lisa runs over the hit man. The hit man is just standing outside the door for some reason. After Lisa runs over him she runs inside the house and her father said he called the police already, why did he call them? The hit man was just standing outside waiting for the call, her father didn't know what was going on. Did he call the police because she drove into his house, even though there had only been a few seconds in between scenes?

Answer: Yes he called because she hit the guy and ran into his house. When 911 calls back they say that they had a call about somone being hit in front of the house and asks if they still need the police.
