- Continuity: On the plane, Lisa's necklace constantly switches from being tucked under her sweater to being hanging lose around her neck.
- Continuity: When Jack sees Lisa in the airport reading the magazine while hiding from the police there are two men sitting at a table having drinks, but when Jack starts to run after her the men and the table are both gone.
- Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double when Lisa trips on the travelator in the airport.
- Errors in geography: The semi-arid, mountain view outside the plane when landing in Miami is clearly not Miami (which is green, tropical, and flat with lagoons nearby).
- Continuity: When plane lands in Florida, there is shot of its white underside. But when the plane is taxiing on the runway just a few shots later, the entire bottom portion of the plane is blue.
- Continuity: The interior of the aircraft is supposed to be a Boeing 767, but the exterior shots are of an Airbus A320, Boeing 727, Boeing 737, and Boeing 777.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Lisa gives Cynthia her code to enter into the hotel computer, she says 7-8-8-4. When the computer screen is then displayed next the code that Cynthia entered is shown as 4-8-8-7.
- Revealing mistakes: In the beginning when the agent announces that flight 1019 is ready to board, the jetway is not connected to the airplane. This can be seen through the window.
- Continuity: When Lisa is talking to Jackson in the queue, in a close-up some hair is sticking across her face near her mouth, in a side shot it's gone.
- Revealing mistakes: At the beginning of the film when Jackson Rippner's partner is going through Joe Reisert's wallet, he pulls out Joe Reisert's drivers license. The street address given is on Maryland Avenue, yet Jackson Rippner recites a different address to Lisa Reisert.
- Continuity: Straw in Lisa's drink at airport bar is there, then gone, then there again.
- Revealing mistakes: You can see when Jackson is throwing Lisa against the walls in the bathroom that he really has his hand behind her head.
- Anachronisms: The truck carrying the fish at the beginning of the film has an out-of-date Florida license plate, the kind that was issued between 1978 and 1985 and has been long obsolete. Also, there is no county name/'Sunshine State' on the bottom like all plates have.
- Continuity: When Lisa is in the stolen car from the airport, the scene shows her with her seat beat strap across her shoulder when she she uses her cell phone, but when she swerves to miss a car she reaches for her seat belt over her left shoulder and buckles it.
- Continuity: After smashing into her father's house, Lisa acquired a cut on her forehead. Later, after she head-butts Jackson, she acquires a new cut, but the other one, which was further up her forehead, is gone.
- Continuity: When Jackson's associate grabs Lisa's father's wallet in the beginning we can see a picture of her in Lacross, there is someone else in the photo, but later on in the movie when we see the picture again there is just Lisa.
- Continuity: Throughout the movie Lisa's eyebrows appear visibly thicker and thinner through out each scene.
- Factual errors: It says in the description that the flight is at 30,000ft. Eastbound flights travel at odd numbers not even ones for example 29,000 31,000 etc., the even altitudes are for westbound flights.
- Continuity: When Lisa runs out of the plane after the aircraft door opened, you can see a ramp agent in the scene. But just two seconds after, when the flight attendant runs to the same place, the ramp agent is gone.
- Continuity: In the restroom on the plane, Jack has his hand on Lisa's face just on the wall across from the mirror. His hand position changes in every shot.
- Continuity: In the scene where the policemen are running up the steps Jack tucks the scarf in. In between shots the scarf is tucked, partially tucked, and tucked all the way.
- Continuity: When Jack is holding Lisa's head in the airplane restroom, he is holding her cheeks. In the side view, his thumb is in the middle (center of her jaw). But when it cuts to the close up, Jack's thumb should be visible but it isn't as it is much further back. It then goes back to the side view and his hand is in the center again.
- Factual errors: The cab that drops Lisa off has three stickers on the windshield on the passenger side and none on the driver's side. These surely are supposed to be registration and inspection stickers which are required to be on the driver's side according to Texas law.
- Factual errors: All the vehicles, including the cab, at the airport (Supposedly Texas) are missing a front license plate which is required in Texas.
- Anachronisms: One of the stickers on the cab's windshield expires 04/02, Legislation creating the Department of Homeland Security wasn't enacted until 11/02 and the actual date for the creation of the Department of Homeland Security was March 1, 2003. In other words, the Department of Homeland Securty did not exist until March 1, 2003. As closely as cabs are regulated at the airport this seems unlikely for the cab to get by for so long with an expired registration or inspection.
- Continuity: When Jackson pries open a locked door with a knife in Lisa's house, the tip breaks off, but it is intact in the next shot.
- Factual errors: The aircraft cabin is that of a 767 (2-3-2 Seating) however when they show the cabin door to the jetway it is one that swings open. A 767 door is motorized and slides up above the ceiling panels.
- Miscellaneous: Our main characters are seated in row 18, however they are clearly only a few rows from the very back of the aircraft (and the galley). On a real 767 they would have been in a row in the high 20's or 30's.
- Revealing mistakes: In addition to the different planes shown, the final exterior shot as the plane is taking off is actually a 737 landing. The flaps are clearly in the landing configuration and the reverse thrusters are on.
- Continuity: When Lisa offers the book to the old woman in the line in front of her, she's holding the book right side up. However, when the woman takes the book, it's upside down, but a few shots later it's right side up again.
- Continuity: When Lisa and Jackson run upstairs in the chase scene through the house, Lisa runs through a room where bright sunlight is coming from the windows before closing the door behind her, meaning these windows were open. After Jackson picks the lock and swings the door open, you can see that the curtains are shut and the room is dark.
- Continuity: When in the plane's toilet Jack refers to Lisa's only choice of drink to be a sea breeze, but at the end of the movie when Cynthia asks Lisa if she wants a drink, she replies "anything but a bay breeze", yet the characters are both referring to the same drink.
- Continuity: The blond woman who continually asks for help from Jack with her baggage is clearly played by two different actresses. When first shown struggling with her bag (first five seconds) she is younger and speaks with a higher more feminine voice. The woman that later plays the woman has a deeper voice and is clearly much older.
- Miscellaneous: In the scene where the Lisa rams the hitman with a Jeep and launches him through the door, immediately after the camera cuts to the interior of the house, cuts are visible in the wood of the doorway to allow it to break away.
- Continuity: In the scene where Lisa rams into the hitman with a Jeep Cherokee, the SUV's antenna is attached as he tumbles onto the hood, but is missing in an oblique camera shot just before the car impacts the doorway, then reappears in the roof camera shot at impact, then is gone again in the final oblique camera shot after the car has rebounded from the doorway.
- Continuity: When Lisa is being chased through the airport and falls, she gets up and runs right, but in the next shot, you can see that she was suppose to run left to get to the train.
- Continuity: When Lisa's stunt double falls in the airport, you can see that her high heels have no heels, they are flat.
- Continuity: In the scene where Lisa stabs Jack in the throat with the pen, she is seen stabbing it in and pulling it back out, yet in the next scene the pen is still in Jack's throat.
