Corrected entry: In the fight with the Chinese bad guy in the cave, Laura stabs his foot with the bayonet on her rifle. In the next cut she lifts the rifle and the bayonet is gone.
Corrected entry: When Lara and Terry escape from the Shay-Ling on the ropes they use no gloves or any device to help clinch their hands on the ropes. Had they really gone down all that way using their bare hands to squeeze the ropes, they would have had no skin left in their palms upon reaching bottom.
Correction: They are not sliding down the ropes; the ropes are on some sort of pulley system, so they are holding on to the ropes and being lowered.
Corrected entry: In the Luna Temple when Laura first approaches the map sphere, the metal stand it is on already has hand prints in the dust - where did they come from if no one has been there in over two thousand years?
Correction: I can't see any prints. Timecode and/or screenshot?
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, Lara climbs aboard the dive boat, shown in two shots that are meant to be consecutive. The first shot shows her reaching the top step of the ladder, and she is smiling. The second shot is at a different angle, she is still climbing the ladder, and she is not smiling.
Correction: She's smiling as she's teasing the men about being wet. When she has finished speaking her smile turns into a pout. Then the shot changes and she is still pouting. The continuity is okay.
Corrected entry: In the scene after the Greece incident where we come in through the Croft Manor ground and the gates, as the camera reaches the doors, there is a man standing by one of the potted plants by the doors. It's not Bryce or Hilary as they are inside.
Correction: Actually, if you look carefully, you can see that the man is pruning the plant near the door. Explanation: he's the gardener. There is also a man after the riding scene that takes her horse for her, obviously another employee.
Corrected entry: Due to stringent gun laws in Hong Kong, security guards and criminals do not carry guns as the punishment for that is a long jail sentence. Gangsters use low-level criminals to carry weapons, but those are all stolen police revolvers or Chinese pistols. Lara would also never have been able to get her guns into Hong Kong. All firearms used in the movie while shooting in Hong Kong were replicas.
Correction: Presumably, Lara and Terry entered Hong Kong illegally and smuggled her weapons in. It's not likely they went through customs.
Corrected entry: In the beginning scene, Lara Croft is fighting a great white shark off the coast of Greece. Greece's coastline is on the Mediterranean sea, which is far too warm for a great white shark to be living in, as they are cold water animals. None of these creastures would ever be found in the Mediterranean sea.
Correction: In 1987 a Great White Shark was captured just off Malta, an island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea. The Great White Shark was listed as an endangered species in the Barcelona Convention and is protected in Malta and Italy.
Corrected entry: In the scene when Lara and Terry glide off the top of a building over the ocean, they deploy parachutes and land on a ship. The parachutes then disappear in the following wide angle shot.
Correction: They are holding them folded - there's a short timelapse during which they gathered them up.
Corrected entry: Lara Croft attaches a transmitter on the box in the scene where it is picked up by Reiss in the helicopter. Then Sheridan arrives from up on the buidling and she checks and the helicopter has flown to an entirely different city, with only a few minutes passed.
Correction: The device she has predicts the most likely destination. As the helicopter doesn't need to follow roads, it will go in a straight line till it gets to where it needs to go, making the destination easy to plot.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Lara is leading Reiss to the Cradle of Life, Terry very obviously climbs out of a helicopter, he gets out the right side of the helicopter, so we assume he has just flown it. Then, after he knocks out the two security guards who are looking after Lara's two friends, he says "Do either of you boys know how to fly a helicopter?" Hello Mr. Sheridan, didn't you just fly one here?
Correction: He's asking if they can fly a helicopter so he can take them with him and then leave, leaving piloting to one of them (as we see later in the movie).
Corrected entry: With the Luna Temple submerged in water all those years, wouldn't it have already been filled with water since the water is leaking in the cracks when Lara and the other people are there...if it had done it all those years wouldn't it have accumulated?
Correction: The cracks originated recently due to the quake that revealed the temple after all those years.
Corrected entry: After escaping from being handcuffed to the bed, how could Terry possibly have known that Lara would go to a boat to borrow television equipment - let alone which of the many hundreds of boats she would choose. It was shown that the boat she chose had a fancy radar thing, but it can't have been unique - the family living on it was nothing special.
Correction: It was a total fluke that he found the boat. He boarded it to ask for directions then noticed the little girl wearing Lara's shirt.
Corrected entry: As Lara and Terry fly out to the meeting point in Hong Kong harbor, they eventually deploy their parachutes. As they land on the ship, you can see the parachutes coming down behind them, but when the camera cuts to a shot from far away, you no longer see the parachutes. What happened to the parachutes?
Correction: You can see them holding the parachutes in their arms in the next shot.
Correction: She breaks it off and leaves it in his foot.
