Continuity mistake: At the party right before Del Blaine and Jimmy Tong find their way down to the lab, Del is wearing dress sandals. When they get to the bottom of the stairs, she's wearing wedges. Her shoes change several times throughout the rest of the evening, including a third pair of chunky heels.

Continuity mistake: In the fight scene on top of the oil building, just after Jennifer Love Hewitt roundabouts the guy, she grabs Jackie Chan's hands, her hands are on either side of a pole. In the next shot, zoomed, their hands are on one side of the pole.

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jackie Chan are on the top of the building, trying to plant the bug on the briefcase, and the men all attack, as Jackie is hanging over the edge Jennifer has a man on his knees. If you watch closely, or in slow mo, she is about two feet away from actually hitting the guy.

Plot hole: When Delila finds out who Jimmy really is, she takes his tuxedo and is apprehended by the bad guys. She then turns on her homing device on her necklace. The office says it will take 20 minutes to get to her. From that statement to when the CSA finally arrives, Jimmy has time to go to Devlin's, write him a letter, discover water striders, find his suit, and get back to Delila and fight the bad guys. THEN CSA shows up. The timing is really off.

Plot hole: Near the beginning when the bad guy is testing out his "new formula" on his employee, his explanation of how the bacteria worked could not have caused the effects seen on the man. Genetic material couldn't be incorporated into the host that quickly and besides, pumping electrolytes into the bloodstream may cause death but that would not remove any of the water - it would still be present in the cells and so the poor chap wouldn't be turned to dust in that way.

Continuity mistake: When the man drinks the poisoned water his face gradually dehydrates, becoming wrinkled and grey. However, when he kneels on the floor his skin colour is perfect and the wrinkles are gone.

Sacha

Revealing mistake: When Chan is trying the tuxedo for the first time, he activates de ingravid mode and then falls down from the ceiling. The falling mat is noticeable under the rug, because it's flat in further shots.

Sacha
