Factual error: The shot of the plane in the Melbourne airport before it took off, and the one in Los Angeles after it lands are of the same place.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Scott slaps Jennifer. Seconds later she sees the scorpion and lowers her hand. The angle changes and she is lowering her hand again.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Before a passenger is hit by a flying suitcase, he is comforting a woman. Her head keeps swapping positions depending on the angle.
