- Continuity: At the end of the movie, the main couple drives a train. A locomotive with three cars. Jessie closes all the doors of the cars and then goes back to Roy, who is operating the locomotive. But there is no way to get from the cars to the locomotive.
- Factual errors: When Jessie first tries to get rid of the matreshkas (set of nesting dolls) made of drugs, she goes to the carriage platform and opens the door by rotating the red lever covered by frost. It's actually an emergency hand brake.
- Continuity: At one point in the movie Jessie is moving along the corridor of the train. A man with a freshly lit cigarette hanging from his lips is standing in the aisle as she approaches, as she passes him the camera pans back to the same guy who now has an almost finished cigarette in his mouth.
- Revealing mistakes: While walking to the old church, even though they are in Siberia in the winter, we do not see their breath when they exhale.
- Continuity: At the end of the movie, when the train stops in the middle of the forest, the locomotive pulls three cars. But later, when the train moves off again, there are four cars behind the locomotive.
- Revealing mistakes: When Detective Grinko is scrolling through photos on the camera, the images are seen going BACK through time (this is logical - the photo view mode starts with the most recent photo and you scroll backwards to go back). We see the photos of the paintings in the church, then the eagle etc. However, he is pressing the RIGHT button - this would cause the photos to scroll forwards in time (to the right). He should be pressing the LEFT button in order for the camera to scroll backwards as it is shown.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Grinko wears his wedding ring on left hand. While Russians (as well as many other nations of the former Soviet Union) actually wear wedding rings on right hand, they will wear wedding rings on their left hands when they are divorced or widowed.
- Factual errors: Roy and Jessie set out from Beijing and immediately deal with Russian staff on the train. In fact, the train is manned by Chinese staff with a Chinese restaurant carriage whilst the train is still in China.
- Revealing mistakes: About five to six minutes into the movie, immediately after the scene where Jesse is looking at the large route map, the is a brief shot of train cars moving past the camera to the left. The serial numbers on the cars are flipped meaning that this portion of the film must have been flipped during printing.
- Continuity: When Carlos places the camera around Jessie's neck in the church scene, it can be seen that the green neckstrap has prominent bold CANON logos on it. A split second later, she is wearing a brownish neckstrap with no logos or writing on it.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The large map that Jesse studies in the movie says "All Abroad" in very large letters, instead of "All Aboard". This is a reference to English language signs in China that sometimes have amusing mistakes in them.
- Revealing mistakes: In one of the first scenes you see the inspector with everything frozen in the building. He finds a dead body with a knife in its head. Everything is frozen - except for the blood on the knife.
>>> 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: When the main characters are in the car, driving on the streets of Moscow, you can see a video ad of Double Coffee (with a lake and a house in the background). It's a Latvian coffee house company operating in the Baltic States and Ukraine, and not in Russia.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: SPOILER: When Jessie runs out of the church, just before she kills Carlos, there's no camera around her neck, despite the central role of the camera in the plot. However, before Jessie leaves the church she puts the camera in her backpack.
- Continuity: SPOILER: When Grinko and Kolzak escort Roy and Jessie as captives into the underground bunker, the camera pans on a man sitting and smoking a cigarette. This man is presumably there to guard Abby, who is already a prisoner in the bunker. He is never seen again.
- Factual errors: SPOILER: At the old church, a wolf or canine is seen. Yet when Abby comes back to Carlos' body, it is pristine. In reality, it would have been mutilated by scavengers.
