Continuity mistake: Once the group find the truck with the money inside, the man in the driver seat awakens as a zombie and begins attacking Chul-min. This prompts Jung-seok to pull him out of the truck and shoot the zombie. Right before he shoots the zombie, there is a quick shot where Chul-min is standing beside Jung-seok. The shot then cuts to the zombie getting shot and Chul-min is standing behind Jung-seok. (00:27:06)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Just after arriving in the Korean Peninsula, the group is shown walking across an abandoned road. There is a shot where Jung-seok has his rifle raised so that he can look through the eyepiece and is then shown lowering it. Then it cuts to an overview shot where the rifle is suddenly raised to Jung-seok's eye again and then lowers it once again. (00:19:52)

Casual Person

Audio problem: After being told to leave the restaurant, Jung-seok says to Chul-min "You go ahead" and Chul-min proceeds to leave. As Chul-min begins walking away, he is heard sighing in a very heavy and exhausted manner, but his mouth isn't shown moving when it happens. (00:16:22)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Chul-min tries to have a fight with one of the restaurant patrons whilst Jung-seok restrains him. Whilst the patron is saying "Do you even care about other patrons", Chul-min has his right hand on Jung-seok's upper arm, but when the shot cuts, the hand is no longer there. (00:16:07)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When one of the restaurant patrons starts shouting at Chul-min, he attempts to walk over to the patron, so Jung-seok tries to hold him. In one angle, Chul-min has his left hand placed near the middle of Jung-seok's torso. When it cuts to an angle with Chul-min's back to camera, we cannot see specifically where his hand is placed, but the distance between his body and Jung-seok's body indicates that it is too far for his left hand to be positioned on Jung-seok's torso in the same place as in the previous shot. (00:16:06)

Factual error: When Jung-seok is trying to get his sister away from her son, he begins shooting at a zombie that begins charging at him, and he falls on his back. Behind him, another zombie is shown with two other zombies lying on top of him. The zombie then manages to stand himself up, with almost no struggle and this also prompts the two zombies to fly off him. This move completely defies the laws of physics. This zombie should have the strength of an average man, and the two other zombies should be of equal, or at least somewhere near, the same weight as him. He was only using his arms and back to stand himself up, so realistically, the moment of him trying to stand up should have taken a lot more strength and a bit more struggle than what was shown. (00:08:13)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Jung-seok returns to the cabin after the zombie outbreak has started in it, there is a shot of him walking past a support pole. The next shot is a POV angle of Jung-seok walking through the cabin. The following shot then shows Jung-seok walking past the same pole a second time. (00:07:08)

Casual Person

Other mistake: Jung-seok's nephew accidentally drops a ball which rolls away and lands in front of a nearby bed. When he walks over to get it, he realises that the man sitting on the bed has turned into a zombie. He is shown in a contorted position, with his back lifted off the ground and is heard making painful grunting noises. The other passengers in the cabin then realise there is a zombie in the room with them. It is extremely hard to believe that none of the other passengers in the cabin would have noticed this beforehand, not even by accident. This man's body was in a completely inhuman and unrealistic position, but it's not until the nephew walks up to him where people start to notice. (00:05:25)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Jung-seok is on the boat with his family, a soldier walks into the cabin he is staying in. When this happens, Jung-seok is shown stroking the back of his nephew's head, down to the back of his neck. The camera changes to a different angle and his hand is suddenly still and motionless. (00:04:33)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Whilst Jung-seok is driving with his family on the first day of the zombie outbreak, after he says "All other roads must be blocked", his sister looks to the left to face her son in the back seat. The shot then cuts to focus on Jung-seok, and the sister can now be seen looking straight forwards out the window. (00:01:45)

There is a moment where he turns his head around to look out the back window.

Revealing mistake: After the flashback where the police investigator tells Augusta he could murder her, and she asks him who'd solve the crime, it cuts to a man outside a store window looking into the store, whilst the investigator watches him from across the street. When this happens, two extras walk into the shot, and the extra wearing glasses can be seen looking at the camera when he walks by. (01:07:55)

Continuity mistake: When the police investigator is speaking with the reporter after leaving the victim's apartment before getting in his car, just as he says "No undergarments were found in the apartment", the reporter is shown lowering the notepad in his left hand and has his right hand with a pen in it, placed on top of the car. In the next shot, the reporter's left hand and his notepad are suddenly placed on top of the car, writing in the notepad with his pen. The shot after that, only the right hand is placed on top of the car and the left hand is at his side. (00:25:48)

Continuity mistake: When Sator is in the blue room after walking through the turnstile, he picks up Kat, puts her against the window, counts down from three to one and shoots her. Whilst he is counting down, he has his hand on Kat's shoulder. The camera then changes to a different angle where his hand is now on Kat's upper arm, and then moves onto her shoulder. Sator then pulls Kat away from the window with his hand on her upper arm. (01:24:58)

Visible crew/equipment: After exiting the turnstile, Sator looks through the window separating the two rooms and watches his past self interrogating the Protagonist in the opposite room. In the shot where his past self is shown hitting the Protagonist across the head with his gun (in reverse), the wheels of the camera dolly can be seen reflected in the window to the left of shot.

Audio problem: Edouard wakes up Marianne after he returns to the art studio after walking out. The two walk over to a bench, then Marianne disrobes and sits down on the bench, so she can pose for him. Whilst this is happening, no further sounds can be heard in the background. Marianne then sees Liz sitting on the staircase watching her and out of nowhere, sounds coming from outside can be heard. The door to the studio would have been open the entire time as no-one is shown opening it, so the sounds coming from outside should have been heard the entire time. (02:14:42 - 02:16:14)

Visible crew/equipment: When Liz walks into the art studio early in the morning, in the shot where she opens the door and enters, a boom mic can be seen in the bottom left hand corner of the frame and is quickly pulled out of shot. (03:14:54)
