John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson in Cell (2016)

Goofs

Cell

Edit

Continuity

The chef at the airport stabs someone, but the knife blade is clean afterwards; moments later he stabs it through the valise, and it is covered in blood.

Revealing mistakes

On Tom McCourt's advice, Clay puts a cellphone in the fridge to cool the battery down to make the charge last longer yet he fails to do the obvious and turn it off. Also the theory of 'making a phone battery last longer by freezing it' is dubious at most, but the characters may not know any better.
Ardai was impaled by the truck's shaft. However, the chassis was not destroyed in the explosion, as can be seen in the background.
When the school survivors occupy the drive-in theater, John Cusack puts a shelf to block the path of a door that opens outward.
When the main characters set fire to the dormant zombies on the sports field, it is all too obvious that the flames were added digitally in post-production.

Errors in geography

The open credit sequence clearly takes place at the Atlanta Airport (Harttsfield Jackson), signs are clearly seen throughout the Delta terminals, Boston Airport announcements are dubbed in until we see John Cusack come off the airplane.
At about 31 minutes one of the phone crazies runs into a clearly identifiable Ponderosa Pine tree. There are no Ponderosa Pine trees within a thousand miles of Boston.

Character error

When Ray is introducing Denise he says she's from "Haverhill", but doesn't pronounce it correctly - he says "Have-er-hill", not "Hay-veril" as it's actually pronounced, despite claiming to be from one town over from it.
