Plot hole: In the opening scene, Travolta forces the SWAT team to let him go when he brandishes the remote detonation device he's holding. That's fine - but upon numerous occasions in his opening monologue (lighting a cigar, checking and smacking his watch), he isn't holding the device for lengthy periods of time. Why didn't the SWAT team shoot him at that point given they're covering his every angle with guns?

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Travolta is on the phone to Cheadle, warning him about the bombs strapped to the hostages. Travolta's watch, shirt cuff, and jacket sleeve move up and down in different shots—noticeably, they move back up his wrist without his adjusting them.
