Revealing: When the terrorists drop the dead body out the aircraft door, look closely at the aeroplane just beneath the door, you can see the reflection of the mat the stuntman lands on, as well as the spotters around it.

Continuity: A sexy blond woman wearing a short hot-pink top, dark jacket and miniskirt exits the plane with the first 100 hostages. She leaves again later with the rest of the passengers and is seen leaving the plane again at the end when the members of the press surround the plane to question the agent.

Continuity: Liz Hurley shoots 2 cops, in the background the next 2 victims can be seen with their make up on waiting to be shot next.

⇓

Continuity: The captain gets shot. The copilot is still in the right seat when requesting emergency landing (first landing). In the landing, someone's hand from the left (captain's) seat is moving the throttle controls yet the copilot's leg is visible (and moving) in the right seat. The copilot stays in the right seat when the plane departs again.

Continuity: When Wesley Snipes beats up the two cops hauling him down the stairs of the air traffic control tower, one cop's hat falls off.  In the next shot of Snipes knocking him down the stairs, the hat is back on.

⇓

Factual error: When the aircraft window is shot out, depressurization of the plane occurs shortly after the door of the plane blows off. When depressurization occurs, the pressure in the fuselage drops. Why would the door blow-out now when it held before with higher (normal) pressure?

⇓

Continuity: When Wesley Snipes is brought down the control tower steps by the two cops, he is wearing handcuffs in the control room and then the handcuffs disappear when he throws the cops down the stairs.

Other: In several of the scenes involving the helicopter the film was flipped. The registration numbers on the side of the chopper are backwards.

⇓

Continuity: You can tell what order the scenes were shot in simply from the condition of Wesley Snipes' face. The actor obviously had a horrible skin problem throughout the film production - his face is riddled with acne and boils. When watching the film, keep particular attention to the right side of Snipes' face (in fact, many scenes are shot in order to avoid his right profile) for huge boil on his cheek - it keeps appearing and disappearing throughout the movie. Furthermore, you can even tell what scenes had to be reshot because the unsightly blemish appears and disappears even within the same scene.

Continuity: When Charles Rane runs away from the police at the start of the movie, he shoves a guy in a brown suit over, but in the next shot the guy has now completely disappeared.

Visible crew/equipment: When Briggs hands Cutter his gun while they are chasing the plane in a patrol car, the camera and crew are reflected in Briggs' glasses.

Continuity: When Cutter is in the bathroom with the phone, he opens the door slightly to check the situation. When he closes the door, the nearest terrorist standing about 10-15 metres away, hears the door shut and begins to approach the bathroom to investigate. Cutter opens the door again some 20 seconds later and the terrorist is still approaching. It should not have taken the terrorist this long to walk such a short distance.

Plot hole: When the police and FBI arrest Rane at the fairgrounds, Cutter tells them Vincent (one of Rane's men) is also at the fair. Cutter did not see Vincent leave the plane and never saw him at the fair. So how could he know Vincent was there?

Plot hole: The airport at which the plane lands is only supposed to have a small airfield. Yet near the end we see the huge plane roaring down the runway for more than a minute, which would be impossible on a small airfield.

⇓

Factual error: When the large airliner is brought down at the the small, regional airport, a huge movable stairway is rolled up to the aircraft so that people can disembark. There is absolutely no reason why a stairway designed for major jet aircraft would be sitting at a small airport that didn't even have runways long enough to accommodate such large airplanes.

Edit

⇓

Revealing: In the scene where Cutter and the girl are getting ready to jump off the plane, Cutter goes to the tied up terrorist and says "Let me give you a hand" and knocks him back out. In you watch it in slo-mo, his hand is not anywhere near his face.

⇓

Plot hole: While Cutter is in the bathroom, the first thing he hears of the terrorists taking over the plane, is one of them yelling "sit down". If he heard that, how could he have not heard the gun shots when Ms. Ritchie shot the FBI agents, or the sounds of screaming passengers?

Continuity: When the plane was getting ready to land at the small airfield, it passes over a small fair. When u see the police look up at the plane, its passing over a 2 wheel Ferris wheel while its moving. In the very next scene, the Ferris wheel is sitting still. It couldn't possibly stop that fast.

Edit

⇓

Factual error: Just after Ranes shoots a hostage, when in the standoff with Cutter, the pistol (a Beretta semi-auto) is shown uncocked, which wouldn't happen normally since the movement of the bolt after the shooting to eject the capsule also cocks the guns automatically.

Edit

⇓

Factual error: The L-1011 lands at the small airport and the hijackers demand fuel. When the fuel tanker shows up with the fuel, the fueler opens the fuel panel and puts an 'overwing' nozzle up inside the fuel panel. This type of nozzle would only be used if the fueler was on top of the wing filling the wing through a small gas-cap type of fueling point.
