Entry When Logan and Jessica escape from the city, we see them run down a huge staircase. Later on they take an elevator up to the Earth's surface. But the elevator (on which they rode up) doesn't appear to be travel much higher than the distance they already ran down. They should still be on the level of the city, or not much higher above it. [That's because the city is on the Earth's surface. They started at ground level, went down the stairs, then came back up to ground level...no mistake there.]
Entry When Logan & Jessica first witness the sun, it's rising toward the upper-left. The region is in North America, which means that the sun rises toward the upper-right. [Not if they are facing southeast. Then it would appear as if the sun is rising from the upper left.]
Entry Jessica and Logan are first seen wading in water toward the Washington Monument with the Capitol building in the background. Judging from the proximity of the Monument and the fact that we cannot see the Lincoln Memorial, this places them in the reflecting pool, walking away from the Lincoln Memorial. The next scene is of them walking into the Lincoln Memorial which they were walking away from. [They have never seen this place before. It's entirely reasonable that they wandered around for some time before arriving at the Lincoln Memorial.]
Entry When all the people from the city arrive on the earth's surface at the end, all we see is the citizens. What happened to all the sandmen? [Sandmen are a very small %age of the population. As an 'elite' police squad, they really only have one crime to handle: running. Therefore their population count drops even lower. As the only law enforcement of the city, those on active duty would have remained within the city attempting to stop the mass exodus.]
Entry In one of the late scenes Logan is interrogated by the mainframe computer, and is guarded by two other sandmen. No one in the city is allowed to be over thirty years of age, yet the guards are at least in their late 30s or early 40s. [There is a very small council of elders. Just before dying, Francis says to Logan "You're an elder," so the sandmen knew that a few people lived beyond 30. As demonstrated by Logan's acceleration to "Last Day", the computer decides how old you are, regardless of biology.]
Entry In the shiny robot's ice lair, Jenny Agutter and Michael York strip off their wet clothes and you can see that Jenny Agutter wasn't wearing any underwear, but when they put their clothes back on and start running away from the robot, Jenny slips and falls over and you can see that she is wearing underwear. [Incorrect. In the scene where they strip off their wet clothes, if you look closely, you can see that Agutter is wearing dark green panties, though obviously, no bra. This is consistent later.]
