Continuity
The opening scene in which Alice is naked in the shower shows her with no makeup. Yet, upon wearing the red dress she is wearing red lipstick. Then, in subsequent shots she is wearing no lipstick again.

During the Vegas scene, the laptop in the Umbrella tent is locked on to Alice, yet there's a display box containing Africa in the lower left corner. There would be no logical reason for the Umbrella operatives to keep a look out on Africa when they're busy with Nevada.

Towards the end when Alice enters the Umbrella HQ and releases a clone of herself from the water/orb, the clone then dies. She is shown laying on the ground with her left hand covering only her left breast, with her elbow resting on the floor. In the next shot, from above, her arm is covering both and her elbow is no longer resting on the ground.

In the beginning of the movie, the first Alice clone is in a laser chamber where the pattern of the lasers that charge after her are diamond, but then a shot later when she climbs through an air duct, the laser pattern is just a straight line.

After Alice uses her powers to kill the crows, Dr. Isaacs uses 3 satellites to locate her - as evidenced by the display on his computer monitor. Three smaller circles, presumably satellites, centered around a larger circle, presumably the radius of her psionic ability - even though we only see one satellite in orbit. Even if the satellites are not sensitive to psionic bursts (though they should be, since the AI in the Umbrella facility claims to have detected them), Project Alice has several implants which allow Umbrella to track and control her.

In the council chambers, Wesker's glasses reflect the room around him. This isn't a mistake - all council chambers are identical, and Wesker's holographic cameras would pick up the reflection of his table - as well as the reflections of the other holograms in the room during a meeting.

Plot holes
Alice notes that instead of driving to Alaska, they will fly there. So when they breach the gates of the Umbrella compound, they all load up into the helicopter and take off. Claire is the pilot, however, it is never mentioned in the movie that she, nor anyone else, has experience flying. Flying a helicopter is not the same as driving a Hummer.

At the start of the final scene in Tokyo, there are rats in the street. As the camera descends through the street, one of the rats actually goes in front of the ground revealing that the street is actually a cut-away set.

When Dr. Isaacs is held in a "secure room" the keypad used to release the door is quite clearly that of a cheap digital safe (the sort one would buy for keeping a few household valuables) and no attempt has been made to conceal the circular handle of the safe, the rest of which has been built into the wall.

When the zombies are coming out of the large container, there are tons of them coming out of it but there's no way they could have all fit into the container in the first place.

During the scene where Alice comes across the empty gas station she aims her cross bow at the attendant zombie "Stevie" using a basic reflex sight on the bow yet in the scene it shows that she has managed to magnify all the way up to his chest revealing his name. The sight used on the crossbow does not have anywhere near that amount of magnification.

In the last moments of the film when the camera pans out showing the many clones of Alice. The footage of the awoken clone in the bottom left can be seen reaching the end of the recording and then played in reverse to fill a few extra seconds.

Revealing mistakes
When Carlos is saying goodbye to everyone and Claire is looking at him, you can clearly see traffic moving on the road in the background.Share this
Revealing mistakes
In the scene where Carlos is in the big rig lighting up his joint, the camera pulls back and you can clearly see that one of the zombies reaching in for him only has makeup just past his wrist where you can then see normal human skin between that and the sleeve of his clothing.Share this
