Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, the lead actor walks across Westminster Bridge after leaving the deserted hospital. Despite the fact that the whole of London has been evacuated, there is a camera shot from behind the actor showing him walking across Westminster bridge, and slightly out of focus to the north east, you can see traffic going up and down Victoria embankment.

Corrected entry: When the group is about to drive through the tunnel, Frank has to ram some cars out of the way. Later, when they stop to set up camp, you see the front of the car with no damage at all.
Correction: He doesn't ram anything, he drives up and over the pile of debris.

Corrected entry: At the start of the movie, Jim walks through an empty London. We see Big Ben behind Jim, and Jim's shadow is behind him. The next shot shows Jim has no shadow, and is in complete shade. (00:09:11)
Correction: The sun is always shining. In the closeups you can see Jim's shadow and in the wide shots the Houses of Parliament are always bright in the morning sun.

Corrected entry: At the start of the movie, Jim walks through a deserted London. We see Big Ben from one angle showing about 7:45, then in the next shot it's about 7:40.
Correction: There's only one shot where the face of the clock is visible, and then it reads 12 minutes past 8.

Corrected entry: To continue on the same note: the contaminated young little boy in the hamburger cafe screams 'I hate you' 'I hate you' as he attacks the main character. None of the other contaminants in the whole film (as far as I'm aware) speaks. They all growl like a mad dog. (00:51:55)
Correction: On the commentary track, the director says that the soundtrack contains voices for all the infected - it is indecipherable most of the time but it helps give the impression of rage. The boy's lines happened to be clearer than most.

Corrected entry: The idea of the film is that everyone's been infected with a disease. Will someone please tell me why there aren't any cars on the motorway? I know everyone got infected, but does that give them the ability to park their cars at home? It's impossible for a motorway to be empty. There are always cars on them, so there should be cars on the motorway in this film---though they would most likely be abandoned or trashed.
Correction: The disease has an incubation period of just a few seconds. So it is not possible to get infected, get in the car and get on the motorway. You couldn't get infected while on the motorway, and you couldn't walk onto the motorway either.

Corrected entry: Near the end of the film when Jim is running back to save his friends, he seems to run freely past the field full of mines that the army planted. How did he know exactly where they all were without setting off the floodlights or an explosion?
Correction: There is a safe path through the minefield. It is seen when the group first arrive - it is marked by white tape on the ground.
