Factual error: When the Malaysian EMT is walking towards a Chinese market from the crashed ambulance, autumn leaves can be seen at the roadside. Malaysia is a tropical country, there shouldn't be any seasonal changes even if it's at Sibu, Sarawak, Borneo island.

Plot hole: The Riot symbiote inhabits the body of the paramedic immediately after the crash at the beginning, then goes into the body of an old woman who goes to the airport and proceeds to take control of a little girl who's going on a flight to San Fransisco. Riot then takes over Carlton Drake's body. The entirety of these events would need to have taken six months, for it to be consistent with the timeline of the rest of the film.

Suggested correction: Riot only arrives at the airport as the old woman after 6 months. There is no reason given why Riot decides to stay in the body of the woman for so long, but not giving a reason doesn't make it a plot hole. It stayed in the old woman for 6 months maybe because it needed to gather strength or devise a plan.

The director has even admitted it's a plot hole. Regardless, the film does nothing to suggest it was doing anything other than traveling towards its destination, so this does constitute a plot hole.

Why does it constitute as a plot hole if it's traveling towards its destination? Why does one thing imply the other?

It's a plot hole because it's absolutely ridiculous that it would take six full months to do that. That's a few days worth of activity... maybe a week. As I said, the director even admitted it was a plot-hole.

Continuity mistake: The Ducati Scrambler doesn't have a mirror in the first scene, but during the car chase there is one suddenly on its left side.
