Ryan Phillippe, Wesley Snipes, and Jason Statham in Chaos (2005)

Goofs

Chaos

Edit

Continuity

The cuts on Dekker's face and hand keep changing throughout the movie, sometimes during the same scene.
During the chase on the motorbike, after Shane breaks through the glass door, in some of the shots his jacket has some shattered glass on the shoulders and in some it does not.
When Dekker wrecks the bike, we see Richards driving on, with the Cafe' Orca on the left and Winfield college on the right. The truck travels a bit past an intersection where Conners hits the truck in a police car, and Richards' truck ends up between Cafe' Orca and Winfield college again.

Factual errors

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

In the final scene where Conners boards the escape private jet, the first shot clearly reveals that the private jet is smaller than the jet shown in the interior. In the first shot you can see the stewardess is bigger that the body of the plane, but in the inside she has got around one head above her.

The jet seen in the first shot (1:41:00) is not the plane he boarded at 1:42:00). The bigger plane has a yellow wheel chock labeled Piedmont. The first plane does not. That plane can be seen in the background as he passed.
Dax states: [The virus] randomly withdraws money from all the accounts and deposits it into the bad guys' account. If you check the transactions, no two withdrawal amounts are the same and none of'em are over $100.

He claims close to one billion dollars was stolen, however the maximum amount that can be moved using this technique is equal to the sum of all possible amounts equal to or less than the maximum amount permitted. This can be calculated with: n(n+1)/2, where n is the maximum amount expressed in the minimum transferable unit, one cent. The maximum quantity of money the criminals could have stolen is therefore 10 000(10 000)/2 which is exactly $500,050, far short of the $1,000,000,000 claimed. I have to say I expected better from a film that takes it name from a branch of mathematics.

No two the same and none over $100. That's for each account. "The sum of all possible amounts equal to or less than the maximum amount permitted" (times the number of accounts). He did mention millions of accounts. $500,050 X $1,000,000 = $500,050,000,000.

Revealing mistakes

The composition shot of the newspaper articles in the beginning of the film detailing the accidental shooting have different headlines to advance the storyline, but the article contents are identical on each clipping, and have to do with the stock market, not a murder.
Every gun used in the film, no matter the type or caliber, uses the same sound effect, something akin to a broadside from the USS Missouri. Neither do the sounds take environment into account.
In the opening scene where we see the newspaper clippings, one of them is titled "Victims Family..." This is grammatically incorrect: it should be "Victim's Family" (if talking about one victim) or "Victims' Family" (if talking about more than one victim belonging to the same family).
Near the beginning, a SWAT van arrives at the bank. The Washington license plate is the category that would be on a private car. It has month and year tabs showing expiration. A law enforcement license plate would have a Vertical XMT followed by letters and numbers and not have any month or year tabs.
During the chase on the motorbike, right before Shane breaks through the glass door, the glass shatters just before he hits it.

Miscellaneous

At 4:47 there is a newspaper reading "Call to Reign in Cowboy Cops". Reign means to rule, as in a king. It should be spelt REIN, which means to control.
The light bars on the police cruisers are incorrect for Seattle cars, they had the normal smooth type.
During the chase on the motorbike the glass door shatters before Shane drives the motorbike through it.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

(at around 31 mins) Shane, in the car with Connors says, "Yes, he was.", but his lips don't move.
