Factual error: The boat "Rapture" lacks any Florida FL registration decals or any decals. If the boat was registered in Florida, the FL decals should be seen above the waterline and at the bow of the boat.

Continuity mistake: When Jackson chases Lisa up the stairs, they pass a coat rack with a coat, some bag with strap and umbrella. The center hanging item bag strap changes colors after he falls down the stairs and when he's locking the door.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film when Cynthia is talking to the two hotel guests, if you watch closely, the man's shirt is buttoned up to the top, and in the following shot the top button is undone.

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: Lisa has bouncy, dark brown hair throughout the movie until the final scene in the hotel lobby. She has come straight from her Dad's home but her hair is now red and nowhere near as bouncy as it was in the previous scene.

Continuity mistake: When Jackson and Lisa are fighting in the bathroom and he begins to wipe off the soap from the mirror, it's somewhat foamy. The camera zooms in on Jackson talking to Lisa. When the camera pulls back, the soap is mostly gone, with very little suds to show. I know soap evaporates, but not this quickly. Not to mention, he didn't get every word wiped off, but when the camera pulls back, there is no sign of anything actually written on the mirror.

Continuity mistake: When Jackson is upstairs stalking Lisa and right after she grabs the club, we see her looking around the corner of the doorway. There's a cardboard box with the flap up. A few shots later we see the flaps horizontal.

Other mistake: The FL driver license of Lisa's dad has 327 Maryland Ave and not 9321 Blossom Palm lane. It's standard for the driver license to reference the actual residence address.

Character mistake: When the plane is landing, and we see out the window that landing is less than 10 seconds away, the captain says: "Cabin crew take your seats." By that point they should have been seated for a long time.

Jacob La Cour

Plot hole: Lisa calls Cynthia and tells her to pull the hotel's fire alarm, which she does. Cynthia then physically goes up to the Keefe's suite to warn them something is wrong. Even though the fire alarm was pulled and it can be heard blaring in the lobby, the Keefes and the security team seem to have no idea that there is a problem until Cynthia knocks on the door and tells them to get out.

Continuity mistake: Jack's hairstyle changes throughout the film. The first shot of Jack in line shows a different style than any other shot in the film. Variations of styles with hair over forehead occur throughout, but hairstyles from different camera angles on the plane change from hair over forehead, to center part neatly exposing the forehead.

Continuity mistake: Characters' head positions change throughout movie. This starts from the first shot from Jack's left side, as they are in line for the counter. Jack is either reading the paper, or looking ahead, or to the left from Jack's right side. When the scene is filmed from the left angle Jack's head position is often the opposite. On the plane both Lisa and Jack show continuity problems in head position. Often the heads are forward, or toward each other when shot from the left angle, then facing each other from the other angle, without time or reason for the transition.

Jackson Ripner: Do your dad a favor and stop gambling with his life!

More quotes from Red Eye

Trivia: When in the plane's bathroom, in an early take Cillian Murphy threw Rachel McAdams so hard against the bathroom wall that he knocked her unconscious. If you look at the shot used in the movie where he throws her against the wall, you can see his hand in her hair protecting her head so he didn't hurt her again. Not a mistake, as he's not trying to knock her out in the film, just rough her up, but worth looking for.

More trivia for Red Eye

Question: I don't understand parts of the scene where Lisa runs over the hit man. The hit man is just standing outside the door for some reason. After Lisa runs over him she runs inside the house and her father said he called the police already, why did he call them? The hit man was just standing outside waiting for the call, her father didn't know what was going on. Did he call the police because she drove into his house, even though there had only been a few seconds in between scenes?

Answer: Yes he called because she hit the guy and ran into his house. When 911 calls back they say that they had a call about somone being hit in front of the house and asks if they still need the police.
