Corrected entry: When Chevy gets 'Defibrillated' in the hospital by the doctor, his finger is gripped around the trigger on the gun he is holding. In real life, this would have caused the finger to spasm, pulling the trigger and shooting the doctor.

Corrected entry: Chev falls for about one minute and a half in the ending scene. That suggests he fell from an altitude where it is cold enough for your breath to be seen. However, Chev's and Verona's breath is never seen before plummeting down.

Corrected entry: At the end of the film when Chevy is falling from the helicopter, he breaks the bad guy's neck and he starts falling a lot faster than Chevy. One of Newton's laws states that two items will fall at the same speed. Chevy coudn't have pushed him to fall faster due to him not havving anything to push against, therefore the guy shouldn't have started falling faster.
Correction: Actually, both bodies had downward inertia. If Chevy forcefully pushed the dead man up, Chevy would slightly increase his downward momentum while momentarily decreasing the dead man's because he was pushing with his own inertia and against the dead man's. The actual increase in Chevy's own speed is small, but, when coupled with the slight, temporary decrease of the other man's, the difference appears much greater.

Corrected entry: When Chevy jumps in the swimming pool near the beginning, he is in there for quite some time yet his phone still works perfectly when he gets into the cab.

Corrected entry: The only way to keep straight falling is to have your arms and legs spread out. However Chev is able to move his left arm freely to make a last phone call to his girl. He should have been spinning wildly and out of control.
Correction: This is just not correct. The only way to *steady* yourself *while* "spinning wildly and out of control" is to spread out your arms and legs, but you do not need to *keep* them spread to maintain balance. Many skydivers "dive-bomb" the ground with their arms and legs held firmly together without any rotation whatsoever.

Correction: Defibrillation does not cause spasms, it causes your muscles to lock in position. In truth, Chevy could not have pulled that trigger if he'd wanted to while being defibrillated.
