Continuity mistake: To enter the Rose residence with the boot courtesy of Soneji, Cross shows the Fed at the door his badge with his left hand, that becomes the right at the cut. (00:18:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In front of the embassy, the driver's window jumps several times from being quite open, to closed (during the U turn) to less open (during the shootout). (00:58:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jezzie points the gun at Devine's throat. When she begins laughing, she lowers the gun, which is still all the way up pressing to his jaw in the reverse shot. (01:24:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cross tells the agent at the gates "I've been invited", and the man opens the door pulling it by the handle, which becomes the top of the door at the cut. (00:18:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cross is at Union Station, and hears a public phone ring. When he dashes across the entrance, the passersby change between shots. (01:07:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cross is making a model ship. Vickie makes a joke about being "ship-shape"; at cut, she has in her mouth a spoon she did not initially have. (00:12:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Dimitri hands Jezzie the knife between the gate bars; he is holding it in two different ways in the two shots. (00:59:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jezzie pours the diamonds from the thermos into her left hand. In the close-up, she is pouring them again. (01:25:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Devine's cigarette burns half an inch the moment he turns the TV off (and we switch to the close-up). (01:23:05)

Continuity mistake: The first time we see her, Jezzie is talking to Megan. She is holding her clipboard with the hand placed underneath it or above it depending on the angle. (00:05:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After receiving instructions from Mercusio (when Cross is told to go to the Watergate), agent Ollie McArthur says "okay people, let's move." He says that across two shots; in the first, Monica Potter is distinctly shifting her eyes from looking in front of her to looking to her right, but in the second she is looking straight again, making the lack of continuity quite obvious over such a small detail. (01:03:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jezzie's computer that she used for all her operations has the screen seemingly turned on, always of a bright blue even before Cross actually switches it on. When he looks at the password screen with just 'Administrator' as username, the screen is black, like it is not in any other part of the scene. (01:27:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene where Alex's partner is in the car with the bad guy, when she pulls her gun and he hits the brakes sending her into the dash she is not wearing a seat belt. Immediately after, when the car goes over the side of the dam, the shot looking down on her shows her with a seatbelt on, the reason she didn't fly from the vehicle. (00:04:10)

Suggested correction: She's wearing a seat belt at 00:03:50 when he's trying to get some top from her. He's pulling on her head and that's when he finds the Bug in her ear. And you can see she's wearing a seat from 3 mins to the time she's hanging from the bridge in the car. 00:03:50-00:04:11.

Suggested correction: I just rewatched - she is wearing her seatbelt when he slams on the brakes, and she hits her head.

Trivia: After Morgan Freeman shoots the guy with the shotgun, the next scene is outside with the news crew and you will see Morgan Freeman walk by the camera dressed up with dreadlocks and cap and keeps looking at the camera. It's Morgan Freeman playing an extra.

Suggested correction: I agree, it's definitely not Morgan Freeman. If you're talking about the guy in the red knit cap and what looks like a red sweater vest, he doesn't have a mustache and his nose is completely different from Freeman's nose looks like in profile. Without any confirmation from someone from the film (such as a director's commentary) or further evidence, this isn't valid trivia.

Suggested correction: Wow, I find pretty extraordinary that this cameo is not mentioned anywhere else. The guy does look like Morgan Freeman (I am adding a screenshot to the entry), and is not seen anywhere else in the scene, nor Freeman is in the wide shot, so I can't say the entry is false, I just find it quite strange since usually this sort of humorous bit roles get mentioned a lot. Kudos for noticing.

Sammo

That is not Morgan Freeman.
