Continuity mistake: When Susan is fighting the assassin in the restaurant kitchen the assassin is wearing regular flats, but when she kicks the pile of dishes the flats have a strap around the ankle.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: While Susan is on the moped chasing after the car, some moments we can see that her stilettos become flats, particularly when she rides over the ramp and shouts, "I am so bad-ass," and also after she shoots the gun out of the car passenger's hand.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When the waiter picks up the tray with the poisoned drink on it, it also has a bowl of fruit. When he gets to Rayna's table the bowl of fruit is gone. (00:55:20)

Continuity mistake: In Rome, when Aldo leaves Susan at the hotel, we can see her suitcase in the back seat behind Aldo as he says, "I like to play the odds," and he hands her the card with his number, but then the suitcase just vanishes from the back seat, though she never had the chance to remove it, and when Aldo drives away Susan has the suitcase.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Susan is fighting with De Luca at his villa she's wearing boots with heels, but when De Luca is running to his helicopter and Susan is chasing him she's wearing flat boots, then the heels reappear.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Susan meets Rayna face to face and prevents her from drinking the poison, the glass moves on the table from oddly far away from Rayna to the middle of the table between shots though nobody has touched it.

Visible crew/equipment: When Jason Statham is falling from the helicopter, you can see a pole that's either a camera pole, or some other type of equipment used for the scene. It definitely isn't supposed to be there.

Continuity mistake: When the man has a hole burned through his throat, in one shot he has one hand on his stomach and the other by his side, but in the very next shot both hands are on his throat.

Factual error: A Blue1 flight is shown landing in London and a LAN Airlines flight is shown landing in Rome. Those airlines do not service London or Rome.

Rick Ford: You really think you're ready for the field? I once used defibrillators on myself. I put shards of glass in my fuckin' eye. I've jumped from a high-rise building using only a raincoat as a parachute and broke both legs upon landing; I still had to pretend I was in a fucking Cirque du Soleil show! I've swallowed enough microchips and shit them back out again to make a computer. This arm has been ripped off completely and re-attached with *this* fuckin' arm.
Susan Cooper: I don't know that that's possible... I mean medically...
Rick Ford: During the threat of an assassination attempt, I appeared convincingly in front of congress as Barack Obama.
Susan Cooper: In black-face? That's not appropriate.
Rick Ford: I watched the woman I love get tossed from a plane and hit by another plane mid-air. I drove a car off a freeway on top of a train while on fire. Not the car, *I* was on fire.
Susan Cooper: Jesus, you're intense.

Question: Why were there so many attempts to kill Rayna when she was the only one to know where the nuke was? Who were those assassins working for?

Answer: It's never fully explained in the movie, but it seems more likely that Rayna simply had a lot of enemies and people we're trying to kill her for various motives, but not to steal the nuke. For example, the guy who tried to poison her seems to do it out of spite for Rayna. The steward on the plane seems more intent on kidnapping Rayna to get what she's selling (although the pilot before dying says "Stan and I already sold it...", so he may not be after the bomb). Karen Walker, who was a double agent who sold Rayna the CIA names, is more likely trying to kill Susan to avoid being found out and not Rayna. Although if Karen was trying to kill Rayna, she may have already discovered the bomb's location, through various means.

Bishop73

Right, when in the basement, to make Susan believe him, Fine asks her "Did (or didn't) Karen try to kill you?" And Susan realises he had sniped Karen and her driver to save her from being killed by Karen.
