Continuity mistake: In the scene where David jumps to a glacier and is hit head-on with a pick-up by Griffin, they then jump into the middle of a guerilla war. The pick-up crashes and a driver is seen at the wheel beside Griffin. The shot changes to wider and when Griffin is seen exiting the car, the driver has disappeared. (01:12:30)
Jumper (2008)

David (Hayden Christensen) gets the upper hand against Roland (Samuel L. Jackson), leaves him stranded in a canyon in the middle of nowhere and rescues Millie (Rachel Bilson). David visits his mother (Diane Lane) and she tells him that his ability started to show when he was 5 years old. As a paladin, her duty was to kill him but instead she left him with his father. David and Millie leave to parts unknown...

David Rice: Who are these people?
Griffin: Paladins. Paladins kill jumpers. I kill paladins. Class dismissed.
Trivia: When David jumps to the Empire State Building, a woman says, "Maybe, if we're lucky, we'll see King Kong". Jamie Bell, who plays Griffin, was in King Kong.
Question: Why did some summaries for this movie (in newspapers, on websites, etc.) say that David goes looking for the man who killed his mother? In the movie, he seemed to believe that his mother left him and his father, and (if I remember correctly from the theater) didn't suspect that she was killed.

Answer: In the novel that this movie was based on, his mother was killed and David does go looking for the man who did it. Those doing the summaries are just confusing the two different versions.
