Other mistake: Jung-seok's nephew accidentally drops a ball which rolls away and lands in front of a nearby bed. When he walks over to get it, he realises that the man sitting on the bed has turned into a zombie. He is shown in a contorted position, with his back lifted off the ground and is heard making painful grunting noises. The other passengers in the cabin then realise there is a zombie in the room with them. It is extremely hard to believe that none of the other passengers in the cabin would have noticed this beforehand, not even by accident. This man's body was in a completely inhuman and unrealistic position, but it's not until the nephew walks up to him where people start to notice. (00:05:25)

Continuity mistake: When Jung-seok is on the boat with his family, a soldier walks into the cabin he is staying in. When this happens, Jung-seok is shown stroking the back of his nephew's head, down to the back of his neck. The camera changes to a different angle and his hand is suddenly still and motionless. (00:04:33)

Continuity mistake: Whilst Jung-seok is driving with his family on the first day of the zombie outbreak, after he says "All other roads must be blocked", his sister looks to the left to face her son in the back seat. The shot then cuts to focus on Jung-seok, and the sister can now be seen looking straight forwards out the window. (00:01:45)

Visible crew/equipment: After telling the plumber to go the police station, the police investigator is inside his car, undoing his tie. There is a moment where he turns his head around to look out the back window. Here, the reflections of two people sitting in the back seat, one being the cameraman, the other, most likely the director, can be seen reflected in his sunglasses. (01:12:24)

Revealing mistake: After the flashback where the police investigator tells Augusta he could murder her, and she asks him who'd solve the crime, it cuts to a man outside a store window looking into the store, whilst the investigator watches him from across the street. When this happens, two extras walk into the shot, and the extra wearing glasses can be seen looking at the camera when he walks by. (01:07:55)

Continuity mistake: When the police investigator is speaking with the reporter after leaving the victim's apartment before getting in his car, just as he says "No undergarments were found in the apartment", the reporter is shown lowering the notepad in his left hand and has his right hand with a pen in it, placed on top of the car. In the next shot, the reporter's left hand and his notepad are suddenly placed on top of the car, writing in the notepad with his pen. The shot after that, only the right hand is placed on top of the car and the left hand is at his side. (00:25:48)

Visible crew/equipment: When the police investigator is looking for Augusta on the beach, he walks up to the shower stall area, says "Augusta", then looks back at the beach. Whilst he is looking at the beach, the reflection of the camera crew can be seen reflected in his sunglasses. (01:16:15)

Visible crew/equipment: In his car, the police investigator briefly stops in the middle of the road to put on a tie. There is a close-up shot where he begins to place the tie around his neck.

Continuity mistake: When Sator is in the blue room after walking through the turnstile, he picks up Kat, puts her against the window, counts down from three to one and shoots her. Whilst he is counting down, he has his hand on Kat's shoulder. The camera then changes to a different angle where his hand is now on Kat's upper arm, and then moves onto her shoulder. Sator then pulls Kat away from the window with his hand on her upper arm. (01:24:58)

Visible crew/equipment: After exiting the turnstile, Sator looks through the window separating the two rooms and watches his past self interrogating the Protagonist in the opposite room. In the shot where his past self is shown hitting the Protagonist across the head with his gun (in reverse), the wheels of the camera dolly can be seen reflected in the window to the left of shot.

Audio problem: Edouard wakes up Marianne after he returns to the art studio after walking out. The two walk over to a bench, then Marianne disrobes and sits down on the bench, so she can pose for him. Whilst this is happening, no further sounds can be heard in the background. Marianne then sees Liz sitting on the staircase watching her and out of nowhere, sounds coming from outside can be heard. The door to the studio would have been open the entire time as no-one is shown opening it, so the sounds coming from outside should have been heard the entire time. (02:14:42 - 02:16:14)

Visible crew/equipment: When Liz walks into the art studio early in the morning, in the shot where she opens the door and enters, a boom mic can be seen in the bottom left hand corner of the frame and is quickly pulled out of shot. (03:14:54)

Visible crew/equipment: Just after Edouard goes outside and Marianne is left alone in the art studio, Marianne walks around the room and looks at some of the drawings, before resting on the couch. Right before she sits down on the couch, just as she extends her leg, a boom mic can be seen in the bottom right hand corner of the shot, briefly entering the frame. (02:12:48)

Trivia: When the Protagonist and Neil exit the shipping container and begin running past the wreckage of the plane to get to the turnstile inside the Freeport, the ambulance that they steal later in the scene after going through the turnstile can be seen among the emergency vehicles that they run past. It is definitely the same ambulance shown on both occasions as it has the number "02-06" on top and has the same number plate "ZXI04712." The Protagonist, wearing the same armor, can also be seen sitting in the driver seat. It is not something that the camera focuses on, but it can be noticed in the background of shot. (01:40:52)

Other mistake: Sator and another man run into the turnstile when the soldiers arrive and exit on the other side. As soon as the two of them enter the opposing room, the other man immediately begins running towards the door on the opposite side of the room, to open it. Whilst he is doing that, Sator begins watching the events that just occurred in the opposite room unfold in reverse, all of which last for about ten seconds. But after those ten seconds, the man is still shown running towards the door. The distance between the turnstile and the door was not very far and it shouldn't have taken that long to run to it.

Continuity mistake: Just after the interrogation has been shown from Sator's perspective, it cuts back to the Protagonist and the other soldiers in the present. There is a shot of a medic looking over Kat, where his left hand is shown placing his gun on the ground. It then cuts to a different angle where his left hand is now placed over Kat's stomach.

Other mistake: In the end credits, the cast is listed in order of appearance, but the listing of some cast members is inconsistent with how they first appear in the movie. Immediately following the credit for Crosby (Michael Caine), the next few characters listed are Shipley's Representative - Kat - Max - Volkov - Gaunt Russian - Nanny. This does not match up with the movie. After the scene with Crosby, the Protagonist is shown watching Kat outside a school visiting Max, who is with the Nanny. The next scene he goes to Shipley's, where he is greeted by the representative, and in the scene after that, he goes to a restaurant where he meets Volkov and fights the Russian bodyguards. The correct order should be Kat - Max - Nanny - Shipley's Representative - Volkov - Gaunt Russian. (02:26:07)

Audio problem: When Priya is explaining the nuclear sites in which the algorithm parts are hidden to the Protagonist, at one point she says "Nine sets of the most closely guarded materials in the world." When she begins saying "Nine sets of the most", her lips appear to perfectly sync up with the audio, but when she says "closely guarded", her lips do not sync up with the audio heard, revealing that the line was dubbed over mid-sentence.
