Ultraviolet

Plot hole: Where did Cross get the blood on his hands? The gloves were clean of blood after he looked at the teeth and removed the gloves, so where did it come from?

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film, Violet infiltrates the complex and makes her way into a white room with tons of men in white suits. She starts fighting them and when a couple of guys come at her, she moves quickly and one guy stabs the other in the chest. When she goes to elbow one of the guys in the face, watch his helmet, it comes flying off, revealing his head and hair. When the camera quickly changes to another angle, his helmet is on perfectly straight. (01:17:45)

Continuity mistake: When Violet holds her hand up to catch the sword, it's fine. But after she stabs the guard, both her hands are cut open in three directions. Also, she doesn't leave any blood on the sword itself.

Trivia: The film is directed by Kurt Wimmer who also directed Equilibrium. Both films not only use similar battle techniques (gun kata), but William Fichtner also plays a similar role in both movies: Both roles - Garth and Jürgen - are with the underground movement against the totalitarian regime of the movie.

Christoph Galuschka

Trivia: All of the guards are either carrying G36C's or SIGSauer 550's, except for one. The guard who tries to shoot Violet after she has taken the case, is carrying a heavily modified AR-15. This was done because neither a G36C or a SIGSauer 550 could be field-stripped in a matter of seconds, unlike the AR-15, the parts of which also make useful weapons, according to this film.

Trivia: The studio was unhappy with the first cut of the film, as it was more character-driven and would have got an R-rating, whereas they wanted a dumbed-down PG-13 action movie. The studio forcibly cut about 30 minutes of character and story development scenes out, and dumped it into theaters as quickly as possible. This forced the effects teams to use unfinished renders and animatics in many scenes, which explains why the effects are so bad... the studio didn't give them time to finish them.

Guard: You won't make it out of here with that case.
Violet: Watch me.

Daxus: How much weaponry does she have left?
Aide: Based on the scans taken from the security portal... Plenty.

Question: Why does Violet's hair change color? Is it a mood indicator or something?

Chosen answer: Her clothes also changes color, and so does the color of the clothes of the real XPD154. It's never fully explained, but it's probably a technological advancement from the future to change colors at will, whether it's bottled hair color or clothes.

Question: (Not that I'm complaining or anything) but why was Violet wearing the outfits that showed off her belly? Did it have something to do with the loss of her unborn child?
