Red Eye

Other mistake: After Lisa escapes from the plane, the flight attendant picks up a phone to alert Airport security. Instead of dialling a number for the intercom, the flight attendant just frantically mashes at the phone several times never actually hitting any phone buttons whatsoever. Evidently this actress believed with all of her heart that what she was doing looked like dialling numbers. (00:57:19)

Other mistake: When the Deputy Secretary of Homeland security is on TV at the airport while everyone is waiting out the flight delay, his title is spelled wrong, as "Deputy Secretary of Homeland Securty", on the TV screen. It is corrected on the change in the shot. (00:14:38)

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.

Other mistake: When Lisa is going through the airport to board the plane, she calls her father. She should be going to the check-in area; however, she was walking in the baggage claim area, where you return from flights. (00:05:20)

Continuity mistake: The plane they are on changes several times throughout the movie. When it is sitting at the gate in Dallas, and while being pushed back from the gate, it is a Boeing 737. When it is shown taxiing out, it is an Airbus A320. Air to air shots are of a Boeing 767, which is also the same as the interior shots all throughout the movie. The 737 and A320 are narrowbodies, while the 767 is a widebody, commonly configured 2-4-2 like the interior in the movie.

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.

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.
