Continuity mistake: In the scene at the end with the old man, his fire is burning well but suddenly is almost burned out when the people come down to see him.

Plot hole: In one of the late scenes Logan is interrogated by the mainframe computer, and is guarded by two other sandmen. No one in the city is allowed to be over thirty years of age, yet the guards are at least in their late 30s or early 40s.

Suggested correction: How do we know how old they are? Just because someone may look like they're in their 40s doesn't mean they are. I have several friends and coworkers who look older than their actual age.

I also thought the guards looked old. Yes, maybe they were 29 but since they had a minimal role, it wouldn't have been difficult to go with actors that actually looked like they were in their 20s.

Continuity mistake: In the ice cave, Logan and Jessica take off their clothes and put on animal skins. When they run out of the storage chamber where they saw the frozen cadavers, they drop the skins and are fully clothed.

Suggested correction: Before that scene, they are shown getting dressed. If you saw this on television, they may have cut the shot because of some brief nudity.

Revealing mistake: At the surgeon, the laser cuts the stretcher (a superimposed red light), but when the lasers go berserk they don't cut anything, revealing they're just lights.

Continuity mistake: Francis walks towards an identity detector machine where he drops stuffs inside and places his hand. The stuff disappears and reappears between shots.

Sacha

Visible crew/equipment: Right after the Carousel segment, a red-clad man is running because his life-gauge says he's 30. He runs through a semi-open corridor that has dark tan bricks. A moment after he passes through the area, and turns back to see Logan aiming at him you can see a spark emitting device has been colored the same as the bricks, but noticeable. It is a special effect to complete the scene.

Jessica: A friend of mine went on carousel. Now he's gone.
Logan: Yes, well, I'm sure he was renewed.
Jessica: He was killed.

Trivia: In the first scene in the Senate Chamber, as Logan and Jessica enter, listen for Peter Ustinov clowning around on the sound track. The cats say "hello" very distinctly, twice. A meow can sound like hello, but not that much like it.

Question: Why were the enforcers called sandmen?

Answer: In popular American lore, the Sandman is responsible for putting sand over your eyes to make you go to sleep. In this context the "sleep" is a euphemism for death, and the enforcers are responsible for making sure that everyone dies on time.
