• It is told that the bomb is going to explode after six days, which according to the counter on the bomb is 216 hours. Apparently the movie takes place in the future, where the day is 36 hours.

• During the airplane chase sequence, Castor Troy shoots three times at Archer in the helicopter, yet makes four bullet holes.

• During the speed boat scene, you can distinctively see that the stunt guy has much longer hair than Nicholas Cage's character. - angel

• They only exchange faces in the movie, so how did Travolta's character grow his hair back so quickly in the end? - angel

• They didn't switch ears along with the face, which seems to me pretty stupid since they are not the same shape by far. Still they changed. If it had been the way they did it, only exchanging faces, I am sure that an intelligent guy like Pollux would have noticed, or some brother he would be... - drano-angel

• In the movie where Castor Troy returns to his gang at their house and wakes up to Gena Gershon, he grabs his gun. He then is talking in the mirror and somehow keeps re-caulking the gun like 3 times! - Obster

• During the escape from the prison, the 2 prisoners are about to have their brain fried and they have their boots removed. Every now and then during the beginning of the scene until the end, you see the prisoners with rubber boots off, rubber boots on even when they are reloading, jumping, killing, so normally, about short of time. - ihccas

• In the shoot-out at the beginning of the film, Nicholas Cage shoots an agent who then flies through the air, but minutes later this same agent is beside Travolta in a large group of agents. Now, either this is a mistake or he has a twin brother. - David

• In the shoot-out scene in the airport hanger, an FBI agent gets shot with a shotgun and you can clearly see the wire jerking the stuntman back before and after he is shot. - Blake

• During the boat scene a spear gun is fired and after the boat explodes, that gun or another exactly like it is pulled from the sandy beach ready to fire-also Cage stabs Travolta with the spear gun and there is no blood on it right after. - gomurr

• The wife is said to be a vegetarian, yet she does not question the lobster the bad guy gets her for dinner. - The Big J

• When Troy and Archer are holding their guns at each other, Troy asks Archer about his "Darling Janie." That's not the slip-up. The slip-up is on the closed caption which says "Darling Jamie." Jamie is the real character's name, but Castor Troy doesn't know that. - Dan

• When Sasha grabs the gold guns out of her son's hands and tells him how dangerous they are, her mouth is not moving--she's just staring at him. - Reddfoxx

• This is not a big goof, but here it is... In the scene after Archer (Cage) sends Paulex off the roof and through the skylight, Castor (Travolta) shoots an officer for making a smart remark about his grieving over his brother. If you look closely, you can clearly see that, before he is shot, there is a big lump on the officer's forehead, where the bullet is to hit on the next scene. It is pretty big... - teo

• When Archer (Travolta) looks at the template mask that the face will be in. It first of all has black lines running vertically up the forehead and in the next angle (camera) it is clear on the forehead. - peep

• By the end of the movie, after the speed boats, Travolta cuts his face, so his shirt gets all bloody, when he gets in the ambulance, the shirt is CLEAN! - Hans

• Bad editing during the prison escape: when Nic Cage is holding the end of the rifle that Duvoc(?) is hanging onto from the catwalk, in one scene it shows the barrel slipping so that Cage's hand is gripping just the muzzle end; very close to the tip of the barrel, but in the next, wider shot, his hand is all the way back to the stock of the rifle! The order of these shots should've been reversed, because in the next scene, the tip of the barrel slips from Cage's grasp and Duvoc falls. - cynic333

• (Plot holes) The director of the FBI dies in office and yet there are only about 40 people at his funeral which is held at a church with absolutely no security outside and anyone can walk into the church (and they do)! - Jack
