Other mistake: How come when they are on the Remora F-117x the pilot is the only one wearing an oxygen mask? The team only has headsets on but they're all in the same space - just before they dock, Kurt and Steven stand up and move forward straight into the cockpit area next to the pilot.
Suggested correction: The plane is pressurized - Cahill has to equalize the pressure before entering the sleeve to access the 747. That would not preclude the pilot from wearing an oxygen mask in case pressurization is lost.
Plot hole: When the fighter jet broke off from the 747, Steven Seagal died but the pilot ejected and was not killed. The people in Washington don't know that the team made it on board the 747 until later when they got signalled with the plane's tail lights, but the fighter pilot that ejected would have told Washington that the team made it on board.
Suggested correction: That would depend entirely on where he landed and how soon he was rescued.
Suggested correction: He ejected from 35,000 ft. He didn't survive.
Plot hole: After Jaffa is captured the news gives a full report of Jaffa being held captive on an American warship in the Mediterranean. Why would the media know who was captured, who captured him, and where he was being held? This was a covert operation to capture the worlds most wanted man, the media shouldn't know any of this.
Plot hole: Not counting Altar or the Sleeper we know there at least 8 other terrorists on the plane. One of them is killed by Altar himself and five of them are killed by the strike team. What happened to the other 2 terrorists?
Continuity mistake: When Louie sees Grant walking Jean down the main cabin they are already at the set of seats they think the sleeper is sitting in but after about 10 seconds of walking they reach the same seats again.
Continuity mistake: Mr Grant is at a dinner party wearing a tux. Then he is in a meeting, and told they must fly within an hour, but it is during the day.
Suggested correction: Everything you mentioned happens during daytime hours. When we see the establishing shot of Washington DC, the sun is up. Although Grant is in a tuxedo, it is not a dinner party. In fact, while he is talking to the woman, it is daylight outside. He then rushes off to the Pentagon, and then to the airfield, all which happens during the day.
