Corrected entry: When the van rides off the bridge in level 1 this creates the first shock, which would normally bring the characters back from the second level, but this doesn't happen because they are still in the third level of the dream. Cobb states: "We missed the shock, but there's a second shock when the van will hit the water." But what about Arthur (the character left behind in the second level to get them back from the third), since he was in the second level when the first shock occurred, shouldn't he have woken up in the first level? If this is true it would mean that he couldn't create the shock with the elevators, meaning the other characters would be stuck in the third (or fourth) level.

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, we are shown that a person can be woken from a dream by giving them a "kick" OUTSIDE of their dream. This is demonstrated by Cobb being woken up from his Japanese temple dream by being dunked in the bathtub in the South America dream (Japan was dream level 2 and South America was dream level 1). However, the final "riding the kicks" sequence contradicts this by showing everyone getting a kick WITHIN a dream to wake up to the previous dream. Example: When Ariadne was inside Cobb's apartment (dream level 4), she jumped off the building which woke her up to the snow fortress (dream level 3). As she fell through the collapsing floor of the fortress, she woke up in the elevator (dream level 2), and she returned to the van (dream level 1) by falling inside the elevator. If the movie was consistent in its logic, Adriadne and the others should have been woken up from each internal dream by falling in the outer dream. The most likely reason why the writers couldn't keep this logic was because it would have prevented Cobb from staying in Limbo (i.e. the falling snow fortress would have woken him up).

Corrected entry: In the staircase paradox scene, when Ariadna and Arthur were at the end of the staircase, it seems that the staircase is moving upwards but in real the staircase is static its just the camerawork. You can also see that the railings of the upper part of staircase is not matching with the railings of the lower part. (00:40:10)

Corrected entry: At the very end when Cobb finally gets home, Michael Caine goes outside to get the children and says, "Look who's here." When the children come in, Cobb pick ups up his daughter first and the son is on the ground. The camera then goes to Michael Caine for a second. When it goes back, Cobb's daughter is on the ground and Cobb's son is in his arms.

Corrected entry: In the scene were Cobb is in the first dream level the train tears the ground behind it leaving tracks but as the scene continues the tracks disappear. (01:06:30)

Corrected entry: In 1st layer of the dream, Cobb pulls over so Ariadne could leap into the car, then it gets slammed by the train. The car stops perpendicular to the street, but in next shot it gets slammed in its side.
