Suggested correction: The gloves don't disappear "a second later" but 2.5 minutes later, after many shots where his hands and even he himself are offscreen. He could have taken the gloves off anytime.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: During the final scene on the beach, Alan's hair is buzzed. Prior to that, he had a shark fin 'do' going on. In the scene during the credits, it's long again.

Continuity mistake: When Loretta places the map on the stone she reads it using her right hand. In the close-up the right hand rests on the stone, and she's moving her left hand.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When we see Loretta dressed up for the book signing check the curl by her left temple: it keeps swapping between brushed or not, thick or thin. (00:04:20)

Continuity mistake: When the SUV is pulling away with Loretta in the rear with Rafi, the passenger seat of the vehicle is empty (not occupied by Abigail) then seconds later Abigail is there, window down. (00:23:58)

Continuity mistake: When Dash and Loretta drive away from the baddies, Loretta's hair keeps changing style all the time: sometimes neat, others messy, then back to neat, sometimes loose, others nicely tucked.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Jack is killed blood splatters on Dash's sweatshirt and T-shirt. A shot later the blood has changed colour, his T-shirt is spotless and most of the blood on the right side of the sweatshirt is gone.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: After Jack frees Loretta she reaches for the map, which lies on the lower part of the table. A shot later it has moved to the middle part of the table.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: The way Loretta unrolls her sleeve differs between shots: first she places her thumb under the fabric, then it's her hand over the fabric. (00:02:20)

Sacha

Continuity mistake: The positions of the luggage on the roof rack change. After Channing Tatum stops the vehicle and Sandra Bullock has fallen out, the suitcase is at an angle to the lower right-hand corner of the roof rack and is touching the bag, which is raised lengthwise over the upper right-hand side. An aerial view after he exits the car shows the suitcase at an angle to the lower left-hand corner, no longer touching the bag, which is now widthwise, partly off the upper right-hand corner. (00:39:12 - 00:39:33)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: When Loretta approached the hammock, Alan's T-shirt was almost flat with more than half hanging over the rope (facing the camera). When Alan stood next to Loretta, the T-shirt was bunched and hanging differently - less than half facing the camera. (Movement of the hammock would have been most likely to make the T-shirt gravitate toward the heavier side or even fall off.) After they were sleeping together on the hammock, the T-shirt was almost back to its original position. (00:58:33)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The positions of the facial masks Loretta put (stuck) on Alan's back change after Alan stands up. Initially, the top two were slightly overlapping. While acknowledging that the masks might have wrinkled and/or got loose when Alan moved, it is not likely that the overlapping ones would do so in that one was partially adhered to the other and thereby more likely to stay attached. (00:58:11 - 00:58:59)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The bowl of oranges on the table has one near the top middle that is above the others. After some camera shifts, there are three oranges sticking above the others and the ones below look smaller and are piled differently (3-4 layers instead of 2). Also, there was another bowl next to the bowl of oranges that is no longer there. (00:41:47 - 00:42:22)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: When Dash is cutting Loretta free from the chair, he has a line of blood along the upper left side of his T-shirt's neck. After the car falls over the hill, the line of blood is gone. (The blood spatter and pattern on his sweatshirt and T-shirt appear to vary, but cannot be discerned without scrutinizing the same by pausing). (00:40:10 - 00:40:54)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: The zip ties were on Sandra bullock's ankles in the car but, were off when the car sped off, and he told her to move her legs, then they were on again when she was flung from the car and when the other character removes them with a nail file.

Suggested correction: Zip tie is always on her right ankle throughout the chase.
