Miscellaneous: When the villains' computer displays information about Kate the second time, for no reason a debugger window showing part of a C program appears onscreen behind it. PLOT: There is no such thing as a "heat sensor" which can provide a sharp, real-time image of people through walls. Fact errors: If there were such a thing as a heat sensor, it would also detect hot water pipes when they had recently been used; and someone taking a cold shower would not seem to vanish, because the warm core of their body would still be detectable behind the cooled skin. Continuity: When the vehicles are leaving the parking ramp, you can see the blood of the cop on the window before he is shot. Fact errors: Electronic door locks in hotels do not have the capability of locking people into the rooms, whether by central control or otherwise. PLOT: The villains detect Max's cellphone in use, but do not try to monitor his conversation on it, even though they have demonstrated the more difficult capability of monitoring conversations on a conventional phone. By monitoring the cellphone call, they could have spotted Max's deception at once. Continuity: After detecting the cellphone, one of the villains says "I have triangulated their position," but rather than a position, his display indicates a route of travel several miles long. Either the display is wrong or it is indicating where the phone has been for the past several minutes; in the latter case, the position could have been given that many minutes earlier. Fact errors: The dashboard and controls of a genuine 1977 Cadillac are different from the one indicated by the movie. Continuity: Kate outruns the train while jumping aboard, but a moment later when we're watching the wheels pass in front of Max, it's moving at about 20 mph. Continuity: The odometer in the car in different shots when catching up with the train. Continuity: Max's position before/after the explosion as he jumps from the car. Fact errors: The explosion starts in the car's engine area, not the gas tank. Continuity: The open door of the freight car is near the rear of the car when seen from outside, but near the front when seen from inside. Fact errors: The interface depicted for the funds transfer is a bizarre and nonsensical combination of a computer display with an audio-based system such as would be used for access by simple telephone. Fact errors: Bank names seen in the funds transfers include "Union de Banc Suisse" and "Banc de Credit," meaning "Union of Swiss Bench" and "Bench of Credit" respectively. In another bank name, "Banque Francaisse de Credit," we do see the correct French spelling of "bank," but now the French word for French has an extra S. Fact errors: In an otherwise correct list of international currency codes, the bank computer displays the Japanese Yen as YEN instead of JPY. Continuity: When the bad guys first scan the hotel using infra-red, we see that Kate is in the room above the policeman on the toilet. However, when the policeman is shot several minutes later, the bullet goes through the floor and nearly hits _Max_ as he takes a shower. Continuity: During the highway car chase, a SUV is set on fire, but in the next shot from the front of the tow truck, it is not burning. Continuity: Open freight train door that Max prepares to leap through was closed in earlier shots. Continuity: Number and density of phone poles alternate significantly between shots as Max prepares to board the freight train. Continuity: Max jumps into the freight car feet-first, but in the slow-mo replay he lands head-first. Continuity: Distance from the car to the freight train varies significantly between when Max jumps and immediately thereafter when it slams into a signal. Continuity: In the freight train, Kate's shirt changes repeatedly from a relatively clean white shirt to a dirty gray-stained one. Continuity: Kazak tries to finish the bank transfer, even though the bomb which has already exploded, some ten feet away from the computer as established in previous shots, is causing the ship to blow up one section at a time. Fact errors: When a policeman flushes a toilet, Max's shower water turns cold. In fact, flushing a toilet causes nearby showers to turn hot. PLOT: Thug on the Tortuga recognizes Max's voice over a cell phone, even though he'd never heard it before. PLOT: Kazak's men try to kill Kate throughout the movie, but when they finally do catch up to her, they _capture_ her, citing that she has information that she needs. PLOT: The whole plot rests on Kazak and his men trying to kill Kate before her court case causes them to lose the Tortuga in the divorce case she is pursuing. However, they only need a couple of days to complete the transfer, and any court case Kate was undertaking would take weeks, if not months, before there was any chance her client would be awarded the ship. Continuity: When the Tortuga sinks, in one shot we can see that the cable connecting the ship into the phone lines is still attached, but in other shots it has disappeared. Continuity: The villain's convoy keeps changing from three SUV's to two SUV's and back again. Continuity: At the police safe house, a woman delivers a pizza and kills a cop. He lands on his back but when the camera comes back to him, he's on his stomach. Continuity: When Max emerges from the shower to grab his gun, he is wet and supposedly naked, yet the waistband of his dry jeans can be seen. Thirty seconds later, after going into the hallway and using his walkie-talkie, he picks up his one pair of jeans to put on. Miscellaneous: The online copy of Max's police ID gives his year of birth as 1965, yet shows the year this ID was issued as 1978. He became a police officer at 13? Continuity: When Max jumps on the train it is daylight and just moments later when he is kissing Kate it is dark. Continuity: Kate is injured on her right arm, as seen by the bandage on her arm at the police station and in her apartment. But at the Raleigh Hotel, later that night, the bandage is on her left arm. |
