Corrected entry: After the first bus blows up, Jack hears the phone ringing. It is a two phone stand. When Jack first reaches for the phone to answer it you can see he answers the phone on the right hand side. To the right of the phone you can only see trees to the right side. In every scene after that, he is on the left hand side phone.
Plot hole: During the course of the movie Payne and Jack have been talking on the phone for a considerable amount of time yet there is no effort made by the police to track Payne's signal while he is talking.
Suggested correction: There might have been, but it just wasn't done on-screen. Maybe they tried and failed, so it wasn't worth showing.
Plot hole: What exactly is the point in Jack speeding up the subway car? He says so it can jump the track but the track wasn't finished anyway. Speeding up the subway at that point would make no difference, he should have just let the subway continue at the speed it was going.
Suggested correction: Just because something isn't explained, it doesn't make it a plot hole. Jack thought it would be a good thing to do. Him doing so didn't break the plot.
Correction: While the telephone rings, Jack walks over. At the very start of the shot (00:28:58), when Jack lifts the phone receiver, we can see it's the receiver of the left payphone stand; the metal case of the right payphone is visible at the right side of the screen, and in the space between the two payphones, we can see the shrubbery ("trees") in the background. So, Jack lifts the payphone receiver on the left and continues to use the left receiver in the following shots. Rewatch, please.
