Plot hole: In the second foot chase scene, with Gabe chasing Yulaw, both of them make it over a tall wall with razor wire on the top. Yulaw does it with little effort, and Gabe struggles doing so, but also makes it. They only got over the wall because of their enhanced abilities from the murder of their other dimensional selves. Later in the movie, Gabe says. "I wouldn't be here, if you guys didn't make it up right behind me." His friend then says, "We never made it up that wall." Ordinary humans could not do what the two Gabriels did. However, in that chase scene after Yulaw shoots Gabe and he falls over, it shows the MVA agents suddenly popping up over the wall and shooting at Yulaw. How did they manage to get up the wall?

Continuity mistake: During the fight with Gabe and Yulaw, Yulaw does a powerful move of lunging forward and smashing Gabe with both his fists, sending him flying into a green metal box that crumbles from the impact. Gabe then falls to the floor, close to the box. The shot changes to Yulaw thinking he has victory, then back to Gabe. Gabe is now noticeably further from the green box, and his arms and legs are in different positions. (01:08:40)
Narrator: There is not one universe. There are many. A Multiverse. We have the technology to travel between universes... But travel is highly restricted and policed. There is not one you. There are many. Each of us exists in present time, in parallel universes. There was balance in the system... But now a force exists who seeks to destroy the balance... So that he can become The One.
Trivia: In the scene where Funsch over rides the wormhole destination that Yulaw tries to take, the device Funsch uses says Destination Final. This is an inside joke reference to the movie, Final Destination, which was made by the same people.

Chosen answer: After he says he will go to the hospital, his wife says "ni shuo de" which simply means "you said so" (so now he has to do it).
