Continuity mistake: When they give Garber the pistol to take, it has actually changed when he pulls it out of the bag, it's an entirely different pistol.
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie when the single train car is rushing down the Coney Island bound F line, you see different camera shots of the train above ground. One of the shots shows the train speeding past Shea Stadium, which is actually located in Queens on the 7 line.
Continuity mistake: The Brietling John Travolta is wearing is different from scene to scene when he is on board the train. One watch has 3 dials; the other none.
Continuity mistake: The money car gets hit by an ambulance on its way to the drop and rolls over. The light bar on top breaks off. It reappears when the car falls off the bridge. (00:59:10)
Continuity mistake: When Ryder first walks into view over the Internet feed from the laptop, he is wearing a greyish T-shirt (most likely short-sleeved as well). In the next shot, still on the feed, he's wearing a black leather jacket, the same one we see him wear since the beginning. (01:01:20)
Continuity mistake: When Ryder gets Garber to sit down in the cab, there is a bullet hole in front of Garber, when the train moves, the bullet hole is gone. (01:12:00)
Suggested correction: The bullet hole in the window was not directly in front of Garber. Ramos was shot through the window when he was sitting on the left side, the driver's side is on the right. When Garber sits down in the driver's seat he's at an angle when the bullet hole comes into focus. All other shots of Garber without the bullet hole are showing him straight on where the bullet hole cannot be seen.
Continuity mistake: When the train rushes through the first station, we see the slipstream take a load of paperwork and pass the station, camera cuts and they are just going past the station again. (01:17:45)
Continuity mistake: When Garber hands the hostage negotiator the page with his notes, the way Ryder is written changes. (00:24:40)
Continuity mistake: When the police on the motorcycles are delivering the money bags, there are 4 of them. When they're walking through the Waldorf Hotel they only have three bags. With watching the hostages they wouldn't have time to consolidate the bags. (01:04:00 - 01:29:00)
Continuity mistake: When Garber is on the phone to Therese, the people outside Therese's window are constantly changing between standing and sitting during instant cuts. (01:05:10)
Continuity mistake: Ryder says "call me Ryder. With a y" camera cuts instantly and Garber already has it written down and rewritten over. (00:22:35)
