Continuity mistake: In most of the scenes it is quite evident that Jessica has only a thin green dress on; when she meets Box she takes it off and she is nude. Later when she is outside of the dome and walking through the woods, she ducks to avoid some brush and she now has underwear on.

Other mistake: In the first carousel one of the female contestants is obviously pregnant. But in the film babies aren't born from a mother but through artificial means.

Suggested correction: At the beginning of the film, Logan asks Francis something to the effect of him not wondering who his birth mother was.

Suggested correction: I just watched the scene on YouTube and didn't see anyone who was "obviously pregnant." Who are you referring to?

Suggested correction: In the beginning, when Logan and Francis are looking at the baby, the conversation is about wondering - or not - about birth mothers. This implies that people were still being born from humans. Also, Jessica states to Logan about wondering who his birth mother was.

Revealing mistake: When the dome city starts to blow up, people are running around in a panic. One man in a red outfit jumps off a balcony to the next floor and you can see a modern (1970s) lit exit sign over a doorway behind him. Many of the interior shots for the dome city were filmed in a large shopping mall; that sign must have been missed when they were trying to make it look like the year 2274.

Continuity mistake: In the ice cave, Logan and Jessica take off their clothes and put on animal skins. When they run out of the storage chamber where they saw the frozen cadavers, they drop the skins and are fully clothed.

Suggested correction: Before that scene, they are shown getting dressed. If you saw this on television, they may have cut the shot because of some brief nudity.

Revealing mistake: At the surgeon, the laser cuts the stretcher (a superimposed red light), but when the lasers go berserk they don't cut anything, revealing they're just lights.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Francis walks towards an identity detector machine where he drops stuffs inside and places his hand. The stuff disappears and reappears between shots.

Revealing mistake: In the opening scene at the nursery, a flesh colored clip is visible on the baby's hand. It is holding the white crystal to the center of his palm. (00:02:48)

Visible crew/equipment: Right after the Carousel segment, a red-clad man is running because his life-gauge says he's 30. He runs through a semi-open corridor that has dark tan bricks. A moment after he passes through the area, and turns back to see Logan aiming at him you can see a spark emitting device has been colored the same as the bricks, but noticeable. It is a special effect to complete the scene.

Jessica: A friend of mine went on carousel. Now he's gone.
Logan: Yes, well, I'm sure he was renewed.
Jessica: He was killed.

Trivia: In the first scene in the Senate Chamber, as Logan and Jessica enter, listen for Peter Ustinov clowning around on the sound track. The cats say "hello" very distinctly, twice. A meow can sound like hello, but not that much like it.

Question: Why were the enforcers called sandmen?

Answer: In popular American lore, the Sandman is responsible for putting sand over your eyes to make you go to sleep. In this context the "sleep" is a euphemism for death, and the enforcers are responsible for making sure that everyone dies on time.
