Continuity mistake: Jezzie kicks the door open and in the close-up we see the strike plate and a strip of wood wave in an ample motion, broken. When she is walking into the room, door still opening, the doorframe is completely still, no metal or wood still shaking. (00:11:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the moments preceding Mercusio's instructions to board the train, Jezzie looks towards Cross. She is almost on her own on the platform, but in a close-up on Monica Potter, more and different people are suddenly present by her. (01:09:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cross is cheering Jezzie up for missing her chance to stop Mercusio. He says "If you hadn't convinced me to stay there", and is gesturing with the left hand on the table...which turns into the right hand at the cut. (01:02:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: On the train, Jezzie says "Get down, everybody down", the two women with dark coats behind her get down twice in different ways - one is even holding a newspaper in the second shot that she did not have before. (01:10:20)

Continuity mistake: Cross screams Tracie's name as the cables give way and she begins to fall to her death. He is holding onto a large metal rod, but in the next shot he is holding the smaller branching part of the same guardrail. (00:04:55)

Continuity mistake: Morgan Freeman shouts to the agent in the car "Don't move! Stay where you are." She is looking at her bloodied hand in front of her face as she slowly turns around, but in the next shot the hand is gone. (00:04:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After Mercusio gets shot, Cross has to face the senator, who tells him "and you're telling me you haven't a clue?" The agent walking past is nowhere to be seen in the reverse shot that follows. (01:19:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Alex Cross is picking up the wet jumper found in the channel after the murder of the fisherman. He holds the neck of the garment straight and tense, but in the close-up it's loose and in a curve. (00:49:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The first time that Cross spots Jezzie Flanigan, he is holding the Soneji picture in front of him, chest-height. Reverse shot and he is holding the position, but with the picture belly-high. (00:19:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At Mercusio's place, one agent says he "was wearing prosthetic appliances." The reaction shot on Morgan Freeman shows him with a background that does not match the view of the room. (00:40:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cross is about to shoot at the window of the train to break it; he is holding on to the vertical bar of the cart with the thermos hand, but the bar is gone in the closer view. (01:10:20)

Continuity mistake: To enter the Rose residence with the boot courtesy of Soneji, Cross shows the Fed at the door his badge with his left hand, that becomes the right at the cut. (00:18:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In front of the embassy, the driver's window jumps several times from being quite open, to closed (during the U turn) to less open (during the shootout). (00:58:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jezzie points the gun at Devine's throat. When she begins laughing, she lowers the gun, which is still all the way up pressing to his jaw in the reverse shot. (01:24:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cross tells the agent at the gates "I've been invited", and the man opens the door pulling it by the handle, which becomes the top of the door at the cut. (00:18:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cross is at Union Station, and hears a public phone ring. When he dashes across the entrance, the passersby change between shots. (01:07:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cross is making a model ship. Vickie makes a joke about being "ship-shape"; at cut, she has in her mouth a spoon she did not initially have. (00:12:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Dimitri hands Jezzie the knife between the gate bars; he is holding it in two different ways in the two shots. (00:59:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jezzie pours the diamonds from the thermos into her left hand. In the close-up, she is pouring them again. (01:25:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Devine's cigarette burns half an inch the moment he turns the TV off (and we switch to the close-up). (01:23:05)
