Other mistake: Ambrose smacks a stone on Ethan's forehead. No blood nor even a bruise appears seconds later when Ethan is kicked in the face and we get a close-up of him.
Other mistake: Luther tells Ethan that he will only have 40 seconds for the louvres to remain open for him enter the ventilation shaft at Biocyte before the alarm goes off. But the warning message on Luther's computer says that the limit is 20 seconds. (01:06:30 - 01:09:10)
Continuity mistake: The tyres on the crotch rocket motorcycles they were riding kept changing from knobbly tyres to road slicks, back and forth depending on what terrain they were on. Easiest to see when Ethan skids on the road to avoid the white van - clear shot of slick tyres - then about 30 seconds later they're on the dirt, he skids into the old car and you can easily see that he's got off-road tyres front and back.
Ethan Hunt: You turned around.
Nyah Nordoff-Hall: What are you going to do? Spank me?
Trivia: When Nyah is trying to convince Ethan to shoot her, she says "Do it. Now!" There is still about forty minutes left in the movie, but those are the last words she says.
Question: What style of black leather jacket does Ethan Hunt wear just before the chase scene near the end of the movie, I've been looking for ages trying to find something similar?
