Character mistake: When LT. Col. Robert Neville's wife fails the eye scan and he's ordering the soldiers to scan her again, the soldier that escorts them to the scan point, and later to the helicopter mistakenly uses Will Smith's real last name. You can faintly here him identifying LT. Col. Robert Neville to another soldier as LT. Col. Robert Smith.
I Am Legend (2007)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Francis Lawrence
Starring: Will Smith, Alice Braga, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Charlie Tahan
Continuity mistake: At the start, Robert Neville drives into some yellow poles, only to drive into them again in the following shot.
Neville: What the hell are you doing out here, Fred? Fred, if you're real, you better tell me right now!
Trivia: Smith tries to explain to the woman who Bob Marley is by singing a part of the song "I Shot the Sheriff." He also sang this part of the song (with a similar voice imitation) in his role as Will in one of the episodes from the series "Fresh Prince of Bel Air".
Question: I might have missed it, but in the scene where Neville is watching his wife and daughter evacuate New York, what exactly caused the other helicopter to spin out of control and crash into Neville's family's helicopter? Was it the fighters bombing the bridge, or the people hanging onto the out-of-control helicopter?
Answer: It was the people hanging onto the helicopter (combined with the already hazardous conditions).
No it was because zombies got on it and killed the pilot.
Answer: I do not believe the people hanging on the helicopter were dark seekers. It's still early on in the outbreak and the whole area is lit up well. These are likely people panicking due to the exploding bridges and general chaos. This caused the pilot to panic and lose control when people potentially infected with KV jumped onto the helicopter.

Answer: I thought people jumped on another helicopter causing it to spin out of control, and that one crashed into their helicopter.
