Continuity mistake: When Kim leaves the hotel pool to return to her room she leaves behind her iPad on the lounger. When the gang members come looking for her at the pool her iPad is not on the lounger anymore. (00:34:50)
Continuity mistake: Kim is cornered by the bad guy on the rooftop. Her braid switches from being over her right and left shoulder throughout the scene. (00:56:00)
Continuity mistake: Bryan shoots the black Mercedes and it flips. The windshield falls right off. Three seconds later (literally), the windshield is still intact. (01:03:15)
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.
