Other mistake: Towards the end of the film, as the two kids are escaping through the subway being guided through the night vision scope used by the army major, they are virtually blind and have to pick their way through dead bodies, escalators etc. This seems a bit unnecessary as the M4 rifle to which the night vision scope is attached also has a torch attached to the RIS rail. Military spec torches are extremely bright - why not just turn it on? They can't be worried about being spotted, because they are shouting at each other, not concerned with what might spot them.

1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
Starring: Rose Byrne, Robert Carlyle, Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau
Revealing mistake: During the scene where the military loses control of London, and their snipers are told "all targets are free", you can see heavy padding beneath Infected/civilian victims' shirts, etc, as they're shot. Presumably it's to stop them injuring themselves when they fall over, or to hold apparatus for the blood effects, but it's too bulky to be part of the characters' clothing.
Command: Only target infected.
Soldier: Roger that, only targeting infected.
Rooftop Soldier: Doyle! I got 2 fuckers on me! Doyle!
Rooftop Soldier: I don't see who is the target.
Doyle: Confirm order?
Command: Rooftop unit, target everyone on ground level, no exceptions. Repeat, no exceptions.
Rooftop Soldier: I got 2 fuckers on the jeep.
Doyle: Jesus.
Question: In the first movie the infected only stayed in the shadows and came out at night. How come the infected in this movie are running around in broad daylight?

Answer: Nobody ever said they could only come out at night. As their food became scarce, they'd taken to daylight hunting as well.
