Corrected entry: Will Sawyer climbs the framework of a construction crane to get above the fire on the 96th floor. Even without a prosthetic leg, it would have taken a very long time, which isn't accounted for in the time flow of events.

Kukopia

Correction: The crane was on the top of the building, where Will arrived via elevator. He only climbed 10-15 floors up, not 96.

Corrected entry: Will Sawyer puts his wife and son in an elevator - he is going to cut the cable that would put them in a free fall traveling through the floors that are on fire. He instructs her to pull or activate the brake (or magnets in this hi-tech elevator) allowing them to escape the burning building. Given that they are above the 90th floor the acceleration of the free falling elevator would create a force so great that it would essentially push them to the ceiling, which would put this lever completely out of reach.

Correction: They would float.

Corrected entry: When the lead character and main villain are fighting at the end, they have a conversation where the villain thinks the hero is standing in front of him because of a mirror. However, if the villain could hear him speak, he'd know the hero was behind him.

Correction: Not necessarily. In a round room like that, with mirrors and stuff everywhere, the acoustic reverberations would cause most any sound to seem to come from any or all directions with an echo.

Quantom X

Corrected entry: He jumps through the turbine blades, but he is attached to a rope that would have been caught up in the spinning mechanism.

Correction: He put the rope around a small pole thing before he jumped.

Other mistake: A police helicopter nearly crashes and has to veer away because of the superheated air around the building when only a few floors are on fire, but Will Sawyer and everyone else can function normally when half the building is ablaze. In fact, everyone barely breaks a sweat despite being surrounded by flames.

Trivia: When Will is fighting Ben he smashes him against a table and the floor using the "rock bottom", his signature move from the Rock's wrestling days.
