- Continuity: In the beginning, when Smith is in the first shootout in the warehouse, he spills car oil (or some other substance) on the ground to slide under a bunch of cars. When he gets up, there is no visible oil on his back or his white shirt.
- Continuity: In the final scene at the café, a fat guy is sipping his milkshake having more than half of his glass empty. When Smith, angered by a row of irritants, starts shooting, a bullet breaks a fat guy's glass, which is surprisingly full. Also the type of glass is changed: the full glass, which exploded was not knurled, but smooth from the outside.
- Continuity: In the scene where Mr. Smith jumps off the bridge, he shoots a few holes in the top window of the car, but as you can see, in the scene where he actually jumps through the window, there are no bullet holes.
- Continuity: When Smith first faces the "Lone Man" in the toilet shootout scene, Lone Man checks his gun, enters, lets off 4 rounds and reloads clearly showing that his gun holds six bullets. Smith then attacks him and in the ensuing fight the revolver fires eight times... well guess that explains what happened to the first two missing bullets?
- Continuity: The hammer on Smith's Sig-Sauer is up and down through out the scene in which he holds Senator Rutledge hostage on the plane.
- Errors in geography: Various factors place this film in the U.S. (a candidate for President, the "Made in the USA" flags on the Hammerson gun boxes), but various other factors make it clear this was actually shot in Toronto (a prominent Yonge Street address, recognizable landmarks in long shots like the CN Tower and Skydome).
- Continuity: In the shootout at Smith's house, the lighting changes dramatically from pitch black outside, to broad daylight.
>>> WARNING: Here Be Spoilers <<<
Goofs below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.
- Factual errors: SPOILER: In the final fight scene with Mr. Hertz, Mr. Smith shoots him by holding bullets between his fingers and sticking his hand in the fireplace. This would not work as depicted. When the powder in the cartridge ignites, the expanding gases from the combustion would follow the path of least resistance and the lighter brass casing of the cartridge would be propelled back into the fireplace. There would be relatively little velocity imparted to the actual bullets themselves.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: SPOILER: In the final fight scene with Mr. Hertz, Mr. Smith shoots him by holding bullets between his finger, and hold them before the fireplace. He holds 4 bullets, but you hear 8 shots fired.
- Continuity: SPOILER: The Lone Man uses a revolver, but after he's chopped up in the helicopter blades his severed hand is holding a pistol.
