Add something

Plot hole: In the scene where 47 swings out of the hotel window, we see the booby trap starting to explode as he's still in the room. Then in the shot from outside, the explosion extends out the window - so how on Earth did he outrun it and get out completely unscathed?

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: He escaped before the debris from the explosion reached him. If you watch in slow motion, you can see that he was ahead of the debris whilst in the room, then below it when out of the window. And even if he had been hit by some, it wouldn't have been a plot hole, unless he was killed or seriously injured.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: In the scene in Africa, after the prisoner has his arm chopped off, when the warlord pulls out the cloth gag from the prisoner's mouth and asks another man about the prisoner's voice, the gag is back in place. (00:06:35)

Quotes

Agent 47: The man you've been chasing is a killer. A Ghost. Rumor has it that he works for a group known only as "The Organization." So secret, no-one knows it exists. Takes no sides - yet it has ties to every government. Its sole purpose is the training and conditioning of professional killers. These men are selected at birth - rejects, orphans - all of them - unwanted and disposable. They are made experts in every aspect of combat. And programmed for one purpose... To Kill.

Questions

Question: What are the little clear beads that Agent 47 puts down before his hotel room door after he rejects the blonde girl at the bar? They seem to release some kind of gas when the FSB raids his room but I thought they were only put down so he would hear them be crushed when stepped on (which would be impossible to hear if he were doing anything else other than listening for them).

Answer: The reason for the beads being put down was so he could hear if someone stepped on them. Notice how he heard them after Diana said his location was compromised. The beads never released any gas. The smoke filling the room could have either been caused by the explosive device he attached to the door which set most of the room on fire or, they could have been smoke grenades throw into the room by the FSB in an attempt to apprehend 47 although they were unaware he had already escaped.
