Corrected entry: After the fight scene in the automobile plant where Anderton is built into a car on the assembly line, we see him sit up after the car is done being made. It's obvious that we are looking at the tail-end of the production process, because we see the car he is in being painted as it rolls along. When the car is finished, Anderton sits up in the driver's seat and drives the car out an exit that is apparently right in front of him. If this is the end of a giant assembly line, where do the rest of the cars go? Does someone drive all of them off of the line as well?

Corrected entry: When Burgess is talking to John Anderton in his car on the flip up transparent panel on his desk, the word Nokia is the correct way round to the people in the cinema, therefore it would have been a mirror image to Burgess who was using it.
Correction: That would actually be a clever marketing strategy by Nokia. If the computer is used in a library, airport, cafe, or any public place, Nokia would want their logo to appear correctly to other people as a form of advertising.

Corrected entry: In the scene were the pre-crime unit make their first arrest of the film, there is a child on a merry-go-round. he gets off and it stops when Cruise is looking for the door. The merry-go-round is completely still. The shot changes to one from behind and the merry-go-round is moving at a furious pace.
Correction: If the exhaust port from the hovercraft is positioned at just the right point near/above the merry-go-round, the airflow will cause it to spin, similar to the way weather instruments measure wind speed and point of origin.

Corrected entry: Now, it's understandable that Agatha has no makeup while she's in the water, since she doesn't need it. But, why oh why, does she has a full face of makeup (well, at least eye shadow and lipstick) when we see a closeup of her, while she is having her mind read by Rufus Riley at Cyber Parlor. Where did she get it from? When did she have time to put it on? After being in hibernation for so long, would she have the strength? The inclination?
Correction: Anderton stopped to pick her up some clothes so that she would look inconspicuous while in public. He picked her up some makeup for the same reason, and she put it on while in the car.

Corrected entry: John would not be in the situation where he could have killed Crowe if the premonition was never made because he only went there to see why he would have killed him.
Correction: This paradox has been discussed at length. My theory is that the setup was arranged in such a way that if John *didn't* see the previsions, he would have received an anonymous phone call or some kind of tip leading him to Leo Crow's room and saying that that's where Anderton will find his son. That way, whether John sees the previsions of his own act of "murder" or not, the previsions nonetheless would be the same (images of the building, the numbers 9 and 6, the confrontation, etc.).

Corrected entry: When John and Agatha are at the front desk of the hotel where Leo Crow is staying, Agatha says Anderson instead of Anderton.
Correction: I've listened to this numerous times, and it sounds like "Anderton" to me.

Correction: The cars drive themselves off the line and to the place where they are to be stored or loaded for shipping. Recall that moments earlier, Anderton's own car went into "automatic pilot" mode while he was fleeing, suggesting that cars can be piloted both manually and via computer.
