Revealing mistake: When the woman is taking the pictures at the start, the camera lens has got the cover over it. (00:07:00)
Revealing mistake: As one of the pilots opens a hatch to check on the failed "avionics" a side cockpit window is visible above and behind him. Rain on the window is moving directly downward, an impossibility at hundreds of miles per hour.
Revealing mistake: When Gabriel Noone goes to see "Peter", he arrives in rural Wisconsin, looks out of the window of his car, and sees a mountain in the distance. There are no mountains in Wisconsin.
Revealing mistake: Watch carefully after Angela is thrown through the windshield of the bus. There is a shot of diamonds and blood-stained glass scattering on the floor. But in reality, there is a shot of plain diamonds falling and the bloody glass is faded in during the middle of the shot. Most visible on the edges of the screen, where the pieces emerge from nowhere.
Revealing mistake: In the balcony in Havana, when Sonny and Isabella are talking about her old house, the shoreline view is not nearly similar to the real "Malecon" in Vedado, Havana.
Revealing mistake: When Vanessa comes out of the girls shower and walks to her locker, in the back shot you can quite clearly make out the strapless bra she is wearing under her towel. Also, when she lifts her arm up you can briefly see the black material under the towel.
Revealing mistake: When Solomon finishes negotiating with the diamond dealer and steps out of the car, it drives away. Presumably the shot was to appear that it pulls away and drives off into traffic, but the car doesn't clear the camera before it stops. The car just pulls ahead about 30 feet and stops again.
Revealing mistake: When Lee is being lifted into the incinerator, he moves his head, despite being dead.
Revealing mistake: When Zoe is getting killed she is spitting out blood from her mouth. Everything is ok with that, except she spits some of the blood on the camera right before she is thrown over the balcony.
Revealing mistake: When everyone first gets off the bus outside the hotel, Williams shakes hands with Margaret. If you look at his wrist you can see his real skin, not the prosthetic which is supposed to go nearly up to his elbow. It can be seen a little better in the next shot as well.
Revealing mistake: During the scene in the bow thruster room near the end of the movie, Richard Dreyfuss rushes to the thruster tunnel access hatch to open it. As he grabs hold of the wheel, the hatch and frame visibly move, exposing it as the lightly built set that it is.
Revealing mistake: You can see the charges to break the glass armor at the chest of the first guard when Violet kicks down in the vault. (00:16:30)
Revealing mistake: The infant baby was computer animated in every scene in which the face appeared. Even the feet were obviously touched up by computer in the hallway scene. The lighting isn't quite right, the skin texture isn't quite right, and the child's face is just too animated.
Revealing mistake: When Stewart is working on his laptop at the satellite dishes, it is very obvious that he cannot type. He is tapping the keyboard repeatedly with several fingers, without moving his hands. (01:18:40)
Revealing mistake: In many of the scenes, particularly when Michael Douglas is leaving the cafe, you can see onlookers staring into the camera. A possible explanation is that few extras were used.
Revealing mistake: After the accident, you see the car's gear is in park on the steering column.
Revealing mistake: Uhl talks about Eisenheim's childhood, and about the vanishing tree. Problem is that not only the tree disappears, but also his very own shadow, making him look as if he's floating in a landscape, thus giving away the green screen effect. (00:06:50)
Revealing mistake: Right after Sage plays chicken with the cops, the cop car is shown peeling out in reverse to follow her down the alley. The dust from the burnout is ejected towards the back of the car. Being a Crown Vic, the car has rear wheel drive but the dust should be moving opposite the car's direction. What this shows is that the car was actually being pulled backwards as it attempted to accelerate forwards. What's more is that even the sound is of a car spinning its tires opposite to being dragged. (00:12:50)
Revealing mistake: When the American man throws a square concrete tile at the monster it reacts (moves its foot in pain) before the tile actually makes contact. (00:16:11)
Revealing mistake: When Lindsey runs to answer her phone after she asks Slevin to explain why he was still wearing a towel, you can see the tattoo on Josh Hartnett's left shoulder blade coming through the makeup.
