Revealing mistake: While inside the tunnel in Rome, before the yellow Fiat makes a U-turn multiple skid marks from previous takes are visible. Though one might pressume that the marks were already there, they are at the same spot and have the same pattern as the skid marks that the cars make seconds later.
Factual error: Ethan decouples a moving train, moving the chain link by hand. Impossible as there would be massive tension on it.
Eugene Kittridge: Your days of fighting for the so-called greater good are over. This is our chance to control the truth. The concepts of right and wrong for everyone for centuries to come. You're fighting to save an ideal that doesn't exist. Never did. You need to pick a side.
Trivia: The actor playing new IMF agent "India Zulu 254" is Alex James-Phelps - possibly a deliberate casting choice given a main character in the series and original film is called Jim Phelps.
Question: Why did Daniel and Ethan fight on the train hand-to-hand, instead of using guns? (02:16:00 - 02:20:00)
Answer: In an enclosed place, a bullet can ricochet around until it hits something - one of them or an innocent person: man, woman, or child. Worse, it could hit a section of the train, a brake line, a cable connecting the cars, or one of the conductors.
