Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again.

Though the delta operator was burnt to death none of his ammunition on his vest exploded. Ammunition when put in a flame explode's due to the heat applied to the gun powder. [Few seconds of flames cannot explode bullets. It requires more heat for longer time.]
You can see lots of skeletons in the underground. It makes us think that the bodies' flesh was decomposed in 28 weeks, which is strange because human flesh needs more than 1 year to be totally decomposed. [It's never made clear whether or not the infected eat the dead, but they DO drag them off and do SOMETHING to them. Alternately, the infection may speed up decomposition.]

When most of the civilians were locked up in the containment area, the doors are secured and protected. Yet the boy's father was able to enter from the rear from a undefended doorway without much measure to secure it shut. [The father was already inside the containment area, he was simply in a back section of it. He most likely unintentionally went into the containment area and when he got to the rear realized he couldn't make it out, so he turned around and that's when the other people were locked in with him.]
Towards the end of the film, as the two kids are escaping through the subway being guided through the night vision scope used by the army major, they are virtually blind and have to pick their way through dead bodies, escalators etc. This seems a bit uneccessary as the M4 rifle to which the night vision scope is attached also has a torch attached to the RIS rail. In reality, military spec torches are extremely bright - why not just turn it on? [Not always wise to fire up a really bright light. Who knows what might spot it and come to investigate.]

Robert Carlyle ran for the River Avon to escape on the boat at the beginning. Sandford IS also upriver, just like the old man said when the boy told where he came from. [Pointing out that something said in the movie is correct doesn't qualify as trivia.]
During the beginning sequence when Don escapes from the cottage, he manages to get on a boat and drive away with the infected in hot pursuit. But when he looks back at the cottage, all the shots of the surrounding area show there are *no* infected people, and none in the river, despite some being killed by the propeller of the boat. [In one of the wide angle shots you can see the infected running along the banks of the river after Don's boat.]
When you see the Aircraft land (Boeing 737) you see it land at London City. You will find that 737's are not allowed to land at London City due to their inability to stop or slow down in time without the use of Reverse Thrust, as London City Airport does not allow arriving aircrafts to use Reverse Thrust. [Surely the rules can be altered a little bit, seeing as how London City is probably the only safe airport in the whole country. Especially given that the reverse thrust rule is presumably for noise restriction, and with all that's gone on, limiting noise is no longer a major concern.]

When the kids make it to Wembley Stadium, the interior is actually the Millennium Stadium, about 125 miles away in Cardiff. [How is this a mistake? Wembley wasn't ready to be filmed, so they dressed up the inside of Millennium to look like it. It's no different than a crew dressing up any set for the purposes of a movie.]
When the kids try to escape quarantine, the get across a bridge in the docks. A sniper sees them and says in a soft voice "Where do you think you are going" yet does NOT stop them! If this is quarantine then they WOULD have been prevented from leaving. [The only way he could have "stopped" them at that point would have been to shoot them. Granted, that's what he SHOULD have done, however he chose to report them instead, which is why the Army found them later. Character mistake, if anything.]

In 28 Days Later, they make mention that the virus spread as far as New York. However in this movie, they make it seem like the virus was only in England and nowhere else. [While it is rumored in this film that the virus has spread outside England, another character does in fact point out that it would be impossible seeing as how you know within 10 seconds or so if you have the virus or not. Customs would see you coming from a mile away, making it impossible to spread past the island.]
When the major in charge of military operations was recounting known "facts" about the rage virus to Amber, the head medical personnel, he mentions that it does not cross species. This is entirely false since the virus passed from monkeys to humans in "28 Days Later," thus beginning the entire rage virus outbreak. [This is not a mistake as it is stated in the first movie that nobody knew how the virus first started. Everybody who knew about the monkey became infected. Since nobody knew about the monkey passing the virus along in the first movie, the doctor was right to assume the virus could not be transfered cross species.]
