Continuity mistake: When the group go to the DARPA HQ during the post credits scene, pay attention to the doors as they enter the lab - the doors we see on the outside do not match the doors we see on the inside, revealing the scene was shot on two separate sets. (Most noticeably, the windows on the doors get significantly narrower once they are inside the lab).

Continuity mistake: Throughout the final confrontation with Gregory, Tree has a bracelet on her left wrist. However, in the two closeup shots of her pressing the button on the magnetic medical equipment with her left hand, the bracelet disappears. (Looks like they forgot to have her wear it when they shot the closeup).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Tree wakes up from committing suicide with the drain cleaner, she starts pouring a water bottle into her mouth. In the wide shot, her mouth is wide open, her tongue is all the way in her mouth, and there's a steady stream of water pouring off her chin. But then it punches into a closeup, and her mouth is instantly halfway closed, her tongue is pushed forward, and the stream of water has suddenly slowed to a drip. Obviously a few seconds was cut for pacing, but still a mistake.

Continuity mistake: When everyone is leaving the basketball game near the beginning, watch the crowds around the main characters as they walk down the hallway. Sometimes the extras aren't consistent from show to shot. Ex. At one point a black couple brushes past Ryan - the man is on his right and the woman is on his left. When the shot cuts to the opposite angle, suddenly the man is to Ryan's left and the woman is totally missing. This happens a few times throughout the scene.

Continuity mistake: During the short scene when Jonathan is talking to the yak at the camp, he instantly goes from facing sideways at the yak to facing forward at the campfire between edits at one point.

Continuity mistake: When Rick, Alex and Jonathan are going over their plan at the mountain temple, watch Jonathan's hands when he sits down. He takes both of his gloves off. However, during one quick shot in the scene (where Jonathan says "Me?"), suddenly his left glove is back on. The next time you see him a second or so later, both gloves are back off again. There's absolutely no reason why he'd put one glove back on only to take it right back off, nor would there be enough time for him to do so between edits.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the final battle, when Mad Dog and Jonathan are in the plane, Mad Dog remarks about his men drinking for free at Jonathan's bar, and it cuts to a closer shot of Jonathan. In the first shot, Jonathan isn't holding the plane's doorway, but in the second shot, he is. Additionally, Jonathan goes from facing forward to facing Mad Dog between the edits, and a gun appears in front of Jonathan in the second shot that wasn't there in the first shot.

Continuity mistake: During the final battle, when the planes arrive, pay attention to Evie when she says the line "Jonathan certainly knows how to make an entrance!" Between cuts, she instantly goes from being about two feet away from Rick to pressed right up against him.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the chase scene, after Jonathan says "We can use this!" Rick rips the top off a large box and throws it behind him. In the first shot, only Rick is lifting the box-top, but when it cuts to the next shot, suddenly Jonathan is helping him lift it. The cut is instant, so there's no time for Jonathan to have reached down and grabbed it between edits.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Alex and Rick are discussing their guns and battle tactics, when Alex says the line "I say we ambush them with long-range rifles...", pay attention to Jonathan sitting in the background. In the first shot Jonathan only just starts to stand up. But then it cuts to a closeup of him, and he's not only standing all the way up, but he's also walking to the left. The cut is instant, so there's no time for him to have finished standing up and started walking between the cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the final fight, around when Rick says "Enough tricks! Where is your honor?!" there's a quick shot of Alex unconscious. His body is leaning against a pillar. About 2 seconds later, Rick runs up on top of a globe-shaped structure (right before he says "Fight like a man!"), and Alex is visible on the side of frame - he's in a completely different position and no longer leaning against the pillar. There's not enough time for him to have moved between the two shots, plus he's knocked out.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: At one point during the big battle, Rick and Evie run up a small hill and Rick grabs a sword from the ground after running out of ammo. Evie is behind him. The camera cuts to a different angle as Rick charges at some terracotta warriors, and suddenly Evie is in front of him and running behind him again.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When she's first given the Eye of Shangri-La by her old associate, Evie is holding it and the box it came from in front of her is open. There's a few very quick cuts, and suddenly she's no longer holding it and the box in front of her is closed. There's no time for her to have put it away and closed the box between cuts, nor do we hear the box being closed. It seems like a few shots of her putting it away has been edited out to quicken the pacing of the scene. Regardless, it's a mistake.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When their old associate is first giving Rick and Evie the Eye of Shangri-La, watch closely when Rick says "Just out of curiosity, what is the mission?" After he delivers this line, there's an edit, and his facial expression completely changes instantly between shots.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Alex and Wilson are exploring the tomb, Alex tries to run back to their dead associates, and Wilson grabs him. Right as Wilson says his last "Alex!" pay attention. In the first shot, his hand is around Alex's neck, but in the second, it's suddenly not. Additionally, Alex goes from facing forward to facing Wilson instantly between the same edit.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the prologue, when the Emperor tells Yuan to rise, he lifts his left hand in a friendly manner. It then cuts to a shot from behind, and his arm is instantly down at his side.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Rick is trying to stab the Emperor with the dagger, in most shots, he's only using his right hand. However, if you pay attention, it's clear a few times that he's also using his left hand. You never see him directly holding the dagger with both hands. But you can briefly see his left arm bent and reached over near his right in such a way that he's holding the dagger with both hands beneath frame in two shots. It seems they tried to cut around him using both hands for some reason.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When the armies are charging at each other at the start during the final battle, there's a weird error. In the very wide shots, it appears the terracotta army are marching at a deliberate pace in perfect formation, but when it cuts to any closer shots, they appear to be chaotically running with no formation. It's most noticeable after Rick says "Welcome to the 20th century!" and the army goes form marching in unison to chaotically running and back several times over the course of 30 seconds.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Rick and Alex are going through the guns at the mountain temple, Alex grabs the first gun and puts it in his left hand. When it cuts to the next shot, suddenly he's holding it in his right hand. The cut is instant, so there's no time for it to have switched hands between edits.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Alex, Rick and Evie arrive at the museum, Alex asks his mom if she'd want to stick around and help him open the Emperor's coffin. Pay attention to the strap on Evie's purse. It changes position on her arm repeatedly between shots. For example, in one shot it's right around her wrist next to her hand, but in the next shot, it's suddenly way down her arm next to her elbow. The strap changes position between cuts at least three times throughout the scene.
