Factual error: When it's 00:00 on January 1st, it's not night in Sydney, it's 11 AM. When they 'reveal' stuff at the end of the movie, and they show that things happen exactly at 00:00 in the night in London, it can't possibly be dark in Sydney, Australia.

Suggested correction: It shows that Sydney is at dusk and is becoming dark, so around 5pm-6pm-ish, not 11am during the day.

Russel Denton

Character mistake: When Dylan answers his phone asking "Where are you?" assuming it is the Horsemen, it is revealed to be Thaddeus telling him where he left him 18 months ago, referring to being framed at the end of the first movie. The first movie ended with Thaddeus being framed one day after Mardi Gras, which would have set the first movie in late February or early March. The events of this movie take place days before New Years Eve in December. The two events are closer to 21-22 months apart, not 18 months. (00:29:45)

Suggested correction: Thaddeus says "right where you left me, 18 months ago." Thaddeus could have been referring to how long he has been in prison following the transfer after a conviction, not the time since the cell scene in the first movie.

Mistakes

Factual error: The movie shows the FBI operating in London in order to capture the Horsemen. The FBI does not have jurisdiction to operate outside the United States, although they can act with agencies in other countries.

Questions

Question: I thought that the chip they stole was fake? Why did Walter think it is real? Hypnosis?

Answer: Walter thought the chip was real because he placed it under a scanner and the scanner confirmed that the chip was real. However, given the fact that later on it was revealed that the whole plane sequence was a set up, it is probable that the device used to scan the chip was actually a fake that was used to make Walter believe the chip was real, most likely throw him off guard.

Casual Person

Answer: It is revealed later on that Allen Scott-Frank, the man from the Macau Science Center, where they stole the fake chip from, was working with The Eye. He likely anticipated their arrival due to being in contact with The Eye and planted a fake chip into the system, allowing the Horsemen to steal it. This fake chip was likely designed to trick a scanner into thinking it was real.

Casual Person

They stole the real chip but lost it. That's how they were able to recognize the one they currently had was fake.
