Continuity mistake: When Homolka has to jump out of the plane, he first sticks his head out the door. The exterior shot shows that his left hand is holding onto the plane but not in the interior shots.

Continuity mistake: On the plane the drug is put into a broken banana half, but when it's time to jump out of the plane Amy is given a whole banana.
