Revealing mistake: If you look carefully when Paul's father is killed by the bees at the picnic site, you can see he is breathing as his belly is expanding.

Revealing mistake: When the bees attack the train during the evacuation scene, a guard falls backwards and his arm hits a lever. You can see that the 'bees' in this scene are just colored pellets.
