Other: Cavanaugh says that Chris has been going to the same diner at 8:09 twice a week. But before that it was 9:08 both in the morning and afternoon. This can be confirmed by watching the early part of the movie and looking at Chris's watch.

Plot hole: Liz is strapped to a bomb that is to be activated by a cellphone, but, the cell towers don't work and they could just capture the crooks when they drop her off.

Continuity: When Cris Johnson foils the robbery attempt at the casino, the scene shows that he drops the gun effortlessly and points at the robber in an inward direction (distance between his fingertips is closer than his shoulder width). Furthermore, Cris utters, "It's his gun. He's gonna shoot you people," after dropping the gun. When Callie Ferris tries to convince her supervisor to capture Cris, the scene (presumably taken from a surveillance camera) shows that Cris gives a little bit of thrust when he drops the gun and points at the robber in an outward direction. Also, Cris only utters "it's his gun," in the surveillance tape. The first time code is the approximate time of the robbery attempt and the second time code is the conversation between Callie and her supervisor.

Continuity: After Chris pretends to be killed by the sniper, the terrorist tries to make a call, in the close ups he uses a Nokia 1100 but in the other shots looks like a different phone.

Continuity: Right after Chris "sees" he and Liz kissing, they actually do kiss and Liz puts her hand and the lower part of his back. She starts to move it up and the scene cuts without time lapse and her hand is suddenly up by his ear.

Other: The dead blonde whose "throat was slit" is shown up-close twice (once in real time and once in a crime photo) and her neck is unharmed and there's no blood.

Revealing: When Cris drives his car over the railroad crossing, the CGI locomotive which passes subsequently lacks a fuel tank which is usually between the two sets of wheels.

Continuity: In the scene where the logs are falling off of the hill, one of them hits the police car. In the scene where it hits, there is no kind of impact on the front of the car. But in the next shot when the car flips over, there is a dent in the front of the car.

Continuity: Jessica Biel is wearing hoop earrings with turquoise beads when she first walks into the diner before meeting Nicolas Cage. After sitting down in the booth the earrings are white pearl studs. After she leaves and gets into the car with Nicolas Cage they are the hoops with turquoise again. After she takes the gift to her student the earrings are pearl studs for the rest of the movie.

Factual error: Ferris threatens Chris by saying he'll spend time in Folsom State Prison. They are in Las Vegas, Nevada and Folsom is a State prison for California not Nevada.
