Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the close-up when she falls dead on the floor, the cable used to strangle the teacher is under her head. When a few seconds later Soneji is shown opening the panel of fake computers, she is lying dead with the cable in a big loop in front of her face. (00:10:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Soneji tells Megan "Come to my office"; in that shot you can see a teacher walking down the corridor towards the camera, but she had already reached a closer point by the security agent in the previous (when Soneji was blowing his nose). (00:08:00)

Sammo

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

Other mistake: In the sequence in front of the embassy when Jezzie runs towards the police car as it escapes, in the background Morgan Freeman's stand-in 'surrender' to the Russians way before the real Morgan Freeman does it in a close-up. (00:58:50)

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)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

Factual error: Outside of the house of Senator Rose are police cars of the Barcroft County Police. The police for Lake Barcroft are the Fairfax County police. (01:01:15)

Sammo

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

Other mistake: Mercusio tazes Jezzie and enters her apartment. Look at the wall clock; the time shown is 4:05, when Cross was barely at the Watergate Hotel at that time. (01:13:00)
