When in Hong Kong, Lara tells Bryce to call Kosa and have him pick her up north of his village. However, Bryce is immediately taken hostage by Jonathan from the trailer, and would not have been able to call Kosa. Yet he still arrives to pick her up in the Jeep.

When Lara and Terry are sliding down the rope, Lara's hair is all over the place. The shot cuts to the men shooting down at them then back to Lara and Terry. Lara's ponytail is tied in several elastics. It cuts again to the men above and then back to Lara and her hair is all over again. This happens several times.

Ebola is highly contagious, so why would dude touch the forehead of a victim.

Lara dives down to an undersea temple but the interior is dry.

Lara gives Alexander the Great's nationality as Greek. While in fact he was Macedonian, this was considered to be another kind of Greek at the time.

When Lara shoots the computers in Reiss' lab, she only shoots the monitors. All this does is stop displaying what the computer is doing. Many say, that a knowledgeable woman like Lara should know to shoot the processor, not the monitor. However, later Reiss talks about keeping Lara alive as long as they know the computer finishes its translation; Lara only tried to delay Reiss, not to destroy the process (she couldn't do that anyways, since the computer boxes are not visible, and even if they are accessible to shoot, destroying the processors would take more time and effort than Lara had). We even see one monitor unharmed and showing the process bar.

During the escape from the Luna Temple Lara shoots down a column. When the column falls and splashes down behind Lara, it floats.

Lara and Terry appear to be sliding down the rope, when in fact they are being lowered down. The ropes do not move. There is a second pair of ropes anchored to the ground, but they are not moving either, as they are anchored to a couple of boxes.

When Lara is kissing Terry on the boat, a piece of tape is visible holding up her towel.

Possible spoiler, at 1:38:12 during the sequence in the cave formation of the cradle of life, Reiss shoots at Croft, and as she dodges, a Red LED light is visible in the lower right corner of the frame (probably the battery light indicator for one of the set strobes).

Near the start, the underwater bikes first enter the water (wet for wet scene). Watch the front of the lead (grey) bike. Just before the nose reaches the edge of the frame, two bright fast-moving bubbles go past diagonally left to right. These can only have come from the film crew.

When Lara and Terry escape from Reiss's lab in (Hong Kong) Times Square in Causeway Bay they go up a lift, and suddenly they leap off a skyscraper in the middle of Central. Causeway Bay and Central are two different parts of Hong Kong and it is not possible to go up a lift in Causeway Bay and end up on the roof somewhere in Central.

The black car coming into the street during the action scene in Shanghai is a RHD with number plates from Hong Kong, even when Shanghai and the rest of China uses LHD vehicles. Even if the car managed to drive all the way up to Shanghai from Hong Kong (impossible in the short time frame), the vehicle would require an additional cross-border plate issued by the mainland.

Jonathan Reiss's private jet is shown landing in what appears to be Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, with the distinctive HK skyline in the background. Kai Tak Airport was closed 6 July 1998 at 01:28, with the last arrival at Kai Tak occurring on 5 July 1998 at runway 13 at 23:38. As the film was released in 2003, Reiss should have arrived at the new Chek Lap Kok Airport on Lantau island - Hong Kong island's skyline cannot be seen from Chek Lap Kok Airport.
