Revealing mistake: During Sergeant Mooney's second visit to the Martin home, he kicks over the fishbowl in order to divert Bayback's attention to him shooting at her. When she falls backwards after being hit, her arm pulls open her jacket and you can see that the blood spot was already there. (Go frame by frame) (00:58:10)

Other mistake: The video quality on the phone would not be as good as the film makes out. In fact, as far as I know, no mobile phone has that quality. The fact that they would then be using the video he filmed off the camcorder as evidence just makes no sense, as you definitely wouldn't be able to see anything on the phone anyway.
Ryan: Ricky Martin? You named your kid Ricky Martin?
Trivia: The movie the kidnappers are watching is "Final Destination 2" (2003), which was directed by David R. Ellis. Also there is an announcement at the aiport for "Volé Flight 180 to Paris," a reference to the original "Final Destination" (2000). Both are New Line productions.
Question: How does Ryan copy the video from the camera on to his phone?
Answer: Even if he'd been able to copy the video onto his phone, we see him running through water under the pier. There would've been water damage to the phone, rendering it useless.

Chosen answer: His Nokia phone has a video recorder on it. He simply records the display on the camcorder with his phone.

But the video on his phone was too clear, not like he recorded the video on the camera but like he downloaded directed to the phone.
