Quotes

Bryan: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Mistake Continuity: When Bryan chases the spotter, all of the cars that had to stop are all positioned at different angles. After the spotter dies and Bryan walks back along the bridge, one of the shots shows all of the cars now parked in a perfectly straight line.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene when he is driving his daughter to the airport before she flies to France, it appears they are riding inside a late model BMW 5-Series. This is apparent by the tan leather interior and the double adjustable padded headrests and rear seat headrests. However, when they appear at the airport terminal, he is seen unloading the luggage from his personal car, a 2005 Nissan Sentra GXE with a basic gray cloth economy interior (Confirmed by the Features on the DVD release)

Mistake Other: Bryan's hot wiring of the Volkswagen Golf is feasible, all except that he doesn't break the physical steering lock that would prevent him from turning the wheel. Old Volkswagen's are quite difficult to break the steering lock, a sharp snap of the wheel does not break it as its quite a bit more sturdy than a mere pin. Pulling at the wires does nothing to affect the steering lock, and the lock is shielded precisely to stop outside tampering. Not enough time had passed for him to achieve the task of removing the security.

Mistake Continuity: When Bryan is interrogating the man using the electrical chair, he is seen taking off his tie. In the next shot, when he is grabbing the lever and pulling it down, he is wearing the tie, but in following shots the tie is gone again.

Mistake Continuity: When Kim is up for sale, before Liam can see her face, her hair is combed, then over her face, then combed again.

Mistake Other: When Bryan is replaying the conversation between he and Kim, as she was being kidnapped, you can hear parts of the conversation that happened before he started recording.

Mistake Continuity: When Bryan rescues one girl from the construction site brothel, he steals a white Jeep Cherokee to escape. When his pursuers start shooting during the chase, a shot of the Jeep's rear shows both red tail light lenses are gone. But the very next shot showing the right side of the Jeep proves they are intact.

Mistake Continuity: When Kim runs to hug Bryan at her birthday party, her braid in the first shot showing her face is behind her back. In the next shot from behind her, her braid is over her right shoulder. In all subsequent shots, it remains over her shoulder.

Mistake Continuity: When Neeson's character shoots the auction leader in the elevator, he is lying in the corner. But when the elevator opens on the next floor, he's lying against the centre of the elevator wall.

Mistake Continuity: When Kim is in the café talking about the trip, the hair on the right side of her head covers and then uncovers her ears multiple times between shots.

Mistake Revealing: When Bryan pulls up in front of the store to buy the karaoke machine, a group of people across the street can be seen watching the scene being filmed, some taking pictures as well.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Bryan is talking to Lenore at the party, the boom mic can be seen reflected in Lenore's sunglasses.

Mistake Continuity: When the pop star and Liam are getting into the car to leave the concert, her hair is dry and perfect, but in the next shot when they are in the car, her hair is drenched.

Mistake Continuity: When Peter takes the picture of the two girls, Kim's left arm is down, but when Bryan is viewing the pictures from the phone, the picture shows Kim holding Amanda's elbow.

Mistake Continuity: When Bryan meets his daughter in the restaurant and gets her a milkshake with three cherries, as the scene cuts from Bryan to his daughter and back, the whipped cream goes from being on top of the milkshake to melted and then back again to being on top.

Mistake Continuity: On the yacht, when the guy with the HK rounds the corner, Liam fires five shots, but six holes appear in the wall.

Mistake Continuity: When the spotter starts singing "California Girls" to Kim and Amanda, Kim puts her hand to her mouth, in the next shot from behind, her hand has gone from her mouth.

Mistake Continuity: When the spotter is organising with the girls to go to the party outside their apartment, behind him you can see a grey Peugeot 806 people carrier with nothing behind it. In the shot as he walks away, a dark coloured car has now appeared behind the Peugeot - not enough time had passed for that to happen.
