Continuity mistake: According to the movie ticket stub, Ryan saw the film 'Sorry, Wrong Number' on 21 September 2012. Yet, a few days later in Moscow, when hacking Cherevin's files, many of them were created in 2013.
Continuity mistake: When Harper meets Ryan, who's out jogging in the rain, for the second time to recruit him into the CIA, the hood on Ryan's jacket moves between shots, most noticeably in the very close-up shot of his face. (00:12:00)
Factual error: In the Dearborn, Michigan car chase scene, a car is shown with a Michigan front license plate. MI is one of 13 states that does not have front license places.
Viktor Cherevin: You Americans like to think of yourselves as direct. Perhaps you are just rude.
Jack Ryan: You Russians like to think you're poets, but perhaps you're just touchy.
Question: When Costner meets Jack Ryan for the first time he calls him John P. Ryan twice instead of Jack. Nowhere else in the movie did I here him referred to as John. Am I missing something? (00:08:15)
Answer: In all the original movies he was Jack his sons name was John so I thought he was the son of Jack.
Answer: This is true of all versions of the character - his name's officially John Patrick Ryan, but he always goes by Jack.
