Oblivion

Continuity mistake: When Jack pulls out his motorbike, his Tech 49 suit is completely clean. When he stops the bike around a minute later, his suit is completely dirty despite just riding. (00:13:55 - 00:14:45)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Jack brings Julia to Tower 49, she is in Sleep Pod 06. When the Odyssey playback is shown, she is in Sleep Pod 8. (00:40:41 - 01:45:49)

Plot hole: Throughout the movie we see Vika monitoring Jack through the cameras and sensors on his aircraft, however, during his entire fight with 52 she just happens to be AFK and doesn't notice that what is effectively a doppelgänger has taken out her partner and commandeered his aircraft?

There's no evidence to support the claim that they are outside her sensor range.

Continuity mistake: During the chase with Jack and Julia, the glass door on Julia's side gets cracked by one of the drones. At the end when Jack shoots the drone, just before they eject you get a good look at the glass door next to Julia and it is undamaged in anyway.

Oblivion mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Jack is riding his motorbike past the deserted ships, there is a huge trail made on the ground. This trail continues to be made as he rides. But as soon as he drives over a hill and stops his bike, there is no visible trail in the background, only the ships are visible. (00:14:20)

Casual Person

Jack Harper: 60 years ago, Earth was attacked. We won the war, but they destroyed half the planet. Everyone's been evacuated. Nothing human remains. We're here for drone repair. We're the "mop-up crew."

Question: Maybe this was explained in the film and I missed it, but it has been bugging me for a while. What happened to all the rest of the clones of Jack and Victoria after the Tet was destroyed? Presumably their daily instructions in the form of Sally would cease. Wouldn't they get suspicious? Some reasonable explanation would be nice.

Answer: They would obviously notice that the Tet was gone and would no doubt have questions, but, without outside intervention, would be unlikely to be able to do anything about it, as they would have no reason not to believe that the "radiation zones" confining them to their particular area weren't real. Some would likely die fighting Scavenger groups in their areas (without the drones, they'd be increasingly vulnerable), others might be successfully contacted by those groups and thus could join with them, some may have ultimately starved without resupply from the Tet. The film only covers what happens to Jacks 49 and 52; the others likely met with a variety of different fates.
