Factual error: When Shorty is removing Jennings' memories in the beginning, the pictures shown are from a third person viewpoint. If they are his memories, shouldn't these be from Jennings' viewpoint? (00:06:40)
Revealing mistake: In one of the shots of a newspaper you see a serious grammatical error for a headline. The use of "it's" instead of "its". It was something to the effect of "Ahead of it's Time". Forgivable for a note left by a character, but a mistake that real newspapers just don't make. Just FYI: The actual headline is "Nexim Announces It's Answer to ARC's Living Display". (00:11:40)
Continuity mistake: When Michael is being chased by the agents, he goes through the transit station and hops on a bus. The camera shows the bus aisle. There is no street kid in the bus seat. When they pan back to Michael and then down the aisle again, the street kid is in his seat. A few other passengers have changed also. (00:35:15)
Factual error: In the scene where Michael is patching the ATX motherboard with a paper clip, the sparks coming out of the box are ridiculously long for being low voltage flashovers, especially as the motherboard has no power supply connected to it. Even if the board would run directly on mains voltage the flashovers would only be a couple of millimeters. Furthermore, flashovers are blue, not yellow as shown. (00:53:55)
Continuity mistake: When Jennings is in the subway and Colm Feore shoots the man standing between them, the man falls to the ground. But when it shows Colm Feore step over the rail, the man's body has disappeared. (00:54:30)
Continuity mistake: When Jimmy visits Rachel in her apartment to tell her that Michael has left, in the shot from over his shoulder he places his right hand on her shoulder and then moves it down to the top of the arm and starts 'massaging it'. However when the shot shifts to in front of him his right hand is just sitting on her shoulder. It changes back again when the shot changes. (00:59:15)
Continuity mistake: When Mike goes to meet the fake "Rachel" at the restaurant, note the yellow flowers on her table. They are centered, but against the edge of the table (where a person opposite her would sit). The next shot of Jimmy's screen shows they've moved to the far right (as seen from the fake's perspective). When Mike opens the envelope, they've disappeared completely and, a moment later, they're back (with some of the leaves curled around the stem of a wine glass). (01:06:20)
Continuity mistake: After the real Rachel has knocked out the fake Rachel, Mike looks over her shoulder and sees Colm Feores' character sighting a gun on her. He pulls her to the side and, in doing so, knocks over two wine glasses that were on the table. Then the shot switches to show the view from the window and the wine gasses have disappeared. A moment later as Mike and Rachel fall to the floor, they're back. (01:10:15)
Continuity mistake: As the truck is approaching the car from Allcom, the view is from the interior of the car (front window, the vertical panel between the windows, rear window) and the semi is right on top of the car. It switches to a wide shot and now the truck is considerably farther back. (01:13:30)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the police car is chasing Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman on a bike down in a tunnel, in one shot, the police car's flashing light on top is ripped off by the low ceiling. In the very next shot, the lights are still on the top. The next shot shows the lights are gone. (01:13:50)
Continuity mistake: When Rachel takes the 'Photo Album' out of the bag and places on the bed, she places it between the bag and a white towel. However when the shot changes to show the bed again which Michael then sits on, the 'Photo Album' is sitting partially on the bag and the towel has moved. There is also other clothing on the bed that wasn't there previously. (01:15:50)
Continuity mistake: When Michael is checking the stamps with the magnifying glass, the way he is holding the magnifying glass changes several times in the scene, from him holding the bottom edge to having his fingers around the edge of it. (01:19:20)
Continuity mistake: After Ben Affleck finds the bug in the machine, he pulls the bit out and turns to Uma Thurman. In that shot of Uma we see that Ben's got a big smile on his face. It then cuts immediately back to just Ben, who has a straight face and immediately cracks a big grin. (01:28:20)
Revealing mistake: During the close-up of the gas canisters, the condensation is running upwards and "into" the valve. (01:31:10)
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie, when Michael and Rachel split up between the glass door, her left hand is cut and bloody, then it is not, then it is again, as it is pressed against the glass. (01:37:35)
Continuity mistake: When Jimmy conks Mike on the head with the cannister (during the fight in the lab), there is a large strand of cable around Jimmys' neck. In the next shot, as he starts to stand up, the cable has disappeared. (01:44:05)
Other mistake: When they look at the winning lottery ticket that is hidden under the bird cage the lottery numbers are in the same order they were on the TV but when you buy a ticket the numbers you pick are printed in ascending order, not the random order that they would appear when they appear on live TV. (01:53:30)
Continuity mistake: When Michael and Shorty are having lunch after Michael is released, he empties the contents of the envelope onto the table. A bit later he puts everything back into the envelope, but the bullet remains on the table under a napkin. Later in the movie, Michael empties the envelope and the bullet is in it.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ben Affleck is walking toward a stuffed animal stand, you see a small red dog facing toward the camera. In the next side shot, when Ben is picking up the parrot, you see the same dog still facing toward the camera when you should see the dog's side.
Continuity mistake: During the scene in the apartment after the car chase, Uma has just had a shower, and she begins to empty the bag she brought. When she reaches in to pull out his clothes, there is a silver photo album on the bed. When the shot cuts back to the bag, the album isn't there, but she pulls it out of the bag AFTER the clothes.
