Trivia

While trying to locate Frank via gps, the techie is told to "hack into military satellites" to find him. There is a quick shot of a computer screen with code, and then it looks back at their faces. When paused on the code, you see the words "Command BitTorrent", which is a reference to BitTorrent, a program commonly used to download movies illegally off of the internet. Kind of ironic.

Mistake Continuity: At the end of the scene where Frank chases the car on a bike, he jumps into the car through the driver's window. You can see broken glass flying, but in the very next shot the driver's window is intact again.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene at the gas station, Frank Martin grabs Valentina's arm to remind her of the bracelet and to not go too far. When he does, one shot shows him grabbing below the bracelet, the next shot shows him holding her above the bracelet, then the next shot below it again.

Mistake Continuity: At the landscape, where Frank should do the striptease to get his keys back, you can see, that the distance of the phone book on the ground and the Audi both change several times, from shot to shot.

Mistake Continuity: In the opening birdseye shot of Frank waking up on the gurney, the explosive bracelet that sets the plot in motion is missing, but after a quick zoom, it appears on his wrist.

Mistake Continuity: When Frank is chasing his car on the BMX bike the number and arrangement of pegs on the bike changes with each shot.

Mistake Continuity: In the two-wheel stunt between the trucks, in all closer views you can see Valentina's face right behind Frank's face. In one short scene just when the car falls back on all four wheels, in the wider view she disappears, and you can only see Frank.

Mistake Continuity: After Frank jumps through the car window and breaks it, pushing the driver out, there is glass all over the stick shift; in the next quick shot, the glass is no longer all over the stick shift, as Frank shifts it.

Mistake Other: In order to detach wagons from the train you have to do more than simply taking off an unsecured lid in the ground and ripping out some cables.

Mistake Other: During the shoot out on the train, Frank takes cover behind the seats. Needless to say, those seats would never offer any protection against a hail of bullets.

Mistake Continuity: In the kissing scene at the cliff, Frank and Valentina seem quite close to the edge of the cliff in the final high/wide shot. However, in the close-up/dialogue shots leading up to that, considerably more ground can be seen behind Valentina's back.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Frank does his striptease, he tosses his jacket and shirt to the side. In the overhead shot, the jacket and shirt are nowhere to be seen.

Mistake Plot hole: In the large chase scene, Frank hits the shoulder at 140kph (~85mph) but the car doesn't shake, slide, or act in any way like it should. Later, when he's moving around 220kph (~135mph), he somehow manages to end up on two wheels. To top it all of when he ends up between the semis he appears to be moving just barely faster than them which would mean he had to slow down somewhere. When his wheels make contact with the one semi the car doesn't jump or skip as expected because it's not moving very fast compared to the semi. I know this scene is for effect, but they could at least attempt to make it somewhat based on real physics.

Mistake Other: When Frank's car lands on the moving train, it leaves no dents on the roof of the wagon at all.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: After the Audi that was chasing Frank goes in to the gorge, Frank rows down his window to look down at the wreckage; as Frank is doing that, look in to the chrome of the outside mirror - you can see the reflection of the camera.

Mistake Continuity: Just before the two-wheel stunt between the trucks, the ramp to take him up on two wheels is visible.
