Corrected entry: Will Sawyer climbs the framework of a construction crane to get above the fire on the 96th floor. Even without a prosthetic leg, it would have taken a very long time, which isn't accounted for in the time flow of events.

Kukopia

Correction: The crane was on the top of the building, where Will arrived via elevator. He only climbed 10-15 floors up, not 96.

Corrected entry: Will Sawyer puts his wife and son in an elevator - he is going to cut the cable that would put them in a free fall traveling through the floors that are on fire. He instructs her to pull or activate the brake (or magnets in this hi-tech elevator) allowing them to escape the burning building. Given that they are above the 90th floor the acceleration of the free falling elevator would create a force so great that it would essentially push them to the ceiling, which would put this lever completely out of reach.

Correction: They would float.

Corrected entry: When the lead character and main villain are fighting at the end, they have a conversation where the villain thinks the hero is standing in front of him because of a mirror. However, if the villain could hear him speak, he'd know the hero was behind him.

Correction: Not necessarily. In a round room like that, with mirrors and stuff everywhere, the acoustic reverberations would cause most any sound to seem to come from any or all directions with an echo.

Quantom X

Corrected entry: He jumps through the turbine blades, but he is attached to a rope that would have been caught up in the spinning mechanism.

Correction: He put the rope around a small pole thing before he jumped.

Plot hole: The entire plot hinges on the villain's gang obtaining the tablet that allows admin access to the building's systems. However, it can only be unlocked via facial recognition and it is keyed only to Will Sawyer's face. In fact, when they finally do get it, Xia unlocks it by holding it up to Sawyer's face. So what was the point of trying to steal the backpack containing the tablet? Without Will to unlock it, the tablet is useless.
