Suggested correction: The two men behind her fall through the hole in the floor after Carver tells her to march them off the building. The movie shows them fall, leaving only the two men on the other side of her.

After.Life picture

Continuity mistake: Liam loads a stretcher in a van. The interior is a Chevrolet. The outside view is a Ford with a bubble window and drives away. Then the next scene shows the gas gauge on a Chevy dashboard. But the worst is at the gas station. While he was filling the van you can see the "express" tag on the door, which is Chevrolet with no bubble window. In the next frame you see the side of the van. Definitely a Ford and the bubble window is back.
