Corrected entry: Just after Brian realizes he and his ex-wife are about to be kidnapped, he calls Kim and tells her to go and hide in the closet in his room. She is able to get into his room with the key but not able to get into the closet, so she goes into the neighboring hotel room and hides in that closet. Brian later calls Kim and tells her to get the case in the closet - she is able to locate what he is talking about in the closet she is hiding in, even though she is not hiding in his.

Correction: Brian is seen using that same closet earlier on in the film. He rented two rooms side by side.

XIII

Corrected entry: When Brian is in the room tied up to the post he picks up a small square phone by his foot and we see he has yellow boots on. Later in the film they change to black, with no time to change them.

Correction: They aren't yellow boots, they're just covered in dust or sand.

Corrected entry: The daughter's phone changes colour. When the dad is trying to ring her and she is swimming in the hotel pool, you see a black iPhone ringing. Later and for the rest of the movie her iPhone is white.

Correction: They have edited this mistake in the DVD as it is constantly a white iPhone I noticed the mistake so was looking during the DVD.

Corrected entry: Kim was asked to draw a circle of diameter 3km. The diameter of circle she drew is not 3km. The length of thread is ~3km, but the thread is not parallel to the ground, so the actual diameter might be something like 1.5 or 2, depending on the angle. (00:44:55 - 00:45:55)

Correction: We can see that the length of shoelace is not even half of the whole length. We never see the scale when she measures out the 3km so we don't know how long 3km is in scale of the map. The 4.5km circle she draws uses more length, is larger, and fits in scale in reference to the 3km circle.

XIII

Corrected entry: After Kim comes out of the closet, and has drawn the circles, Kim and Brian finish talking on the phone. Brian hangs up and drops the phone, and you can hear Kim say dad while the camera is still on him. (00:44:20)

Correction: She says "dad" twice, once while she is on screen and the other while the phone is on the ground and you can hear that the call is still connected. As he drags it with his foot you can hear the call disconnecting. This could have been Kim or Brian.

XIII

Continuity mistake: Bryan is cornered in an Istanbul alley and engages in fierce hand-to-hand combat with Albanian gangsters. Bryan takes one of the gangsters hostage, holds a gun to the gangster's face and threatens to kill him. Another gangster doesn't even hesitate to shoot Bryan's hostage in the back multiple times, and the guy drops down dead at Bryan's feet. Bryan is frozen on the spot. Camera cuts to another Albanian gangster entering the alley, holding Lenore hostage. Camera cuts to close up of Bryan, who quickly calls his daughter Kim to warn her. Camera cuts back to a full view of the alley, and the dead guy at Bryan's feet has completely vanished.

Question: Where did Kim learn how to drive stick-shift? Is her dad that paranoid to prepare her for driving a stick-shift car?

Chosen answer: Hardly paranoia, as such, more just giving Kim options. Kim has a noted interest in travelling abroad; cars in Europe are far more likely to be manual transmission than in the automatic-dominated US, and thus, by teaching her to drive a manual car, Mills may have made it easier for her to, say, drive a hire car on her travels. Manual transmission cars also tend to get better fuel mileage, are usually less expensive, certainly give you more control and are, in my opinion at least, more fun to drive, so there are some practicalities involved as well. Really the question is why wouldn't anybody at least learn how to drive a manual car, even if they usually end up driving an automatic.
