• Jack Traven shoots his partner, Harry Temple, in the right leg, but in the rest of the movie Harry complains about his left leg.
  • Sound-clip: Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels): You shot me, I can't believe it. They're giving you a medal for shooting me, you little prick.

• According to the shadow of the buss when it jumps over the section of the bridge, which is missing, the bridge is whole.

• Howard Payne snaps his fingers with a hand that doesn't have a thumb.

• When Keanu enters the rooftop where they find the cable to hold the elevator, there is a 3rd man shown briefly in the right side of the screen. His weapon is clearly visible for awhile. - PsykoOps

• When the bus is going over the unfinished bridge, if you slow the movie down and go frame by frame, you can see the bus go up at an incline before it reaches the end of the bridge. And also, how can the bus go on an incline??? - Vic Cherubini

• When the officers are waiting to see what floor the elevator is going to stop on, for every floor you can hear a beep. If you count down with the numbers as you see them, and keep counting as the camera takes shots of the officers expressions, you can hear that there are too many beeps to match the numbers. - Infinity

• I can't remember the exact scene but Jack (Keanu Reeves) tells everyone that they need to move to the other side of the bus. When everyone gets up and moves to one side, one guy gets up and moves to the wrong side. In the next shot he's on the correct side. - navylady2

• When Reeves and Bullock are sliding on the board (toward the end), watch the cuts. You can clearly tell where the stuntman for Reeves enters the picture, as he is the one wearing a wedding ring! - JL

• Right after the door to the Jaguar gets taken off by the bus the guy then runs into the barrels of water, but there is water on the windshield BEFORE he hits the water. - Dani

• When the passengers are transferring from one bus to another as they circle the airstrip, you can see the film crew reflection in the bus doors. - fry

• When a woman is about to fall off the bus, Jack reaches for her and grabs her, but then the camera changes angles and it shows Jack dive for her, but he doesn't reach her. - Red

• In the part where jack is taking the handcuffs of the gang guy or whatever and he says "Hey I didn't mean to shoot the guy." if you watch where the door is you can see a camera man sitting there then duck you can tell he is a camera man because he has headphones on and why he have ducked (watch in slow-mo) - BaM

• When the bus is heading for the gap in the freeway, and the camera goes to an angle with the bus speeding toward it, and the wide load truck with all of the cops on it, in the background...you can tell that in post-production of the movie, they played that scene in fastforward to make the bus look like it's going faster than it really is, because you can see the cops in the backround moving in fast motion on the wide load truck! - Ryan

• In the end of the movie after the train goes through the wall, u can see that when the credits show that the train is facing the blue van, well if u look in the background you can see the road with people, well thats not the way the train crashed through, the wall that it went through is on the other side < This is really a mistake or a location error. - Rick

• First the fuel tank of the bus gets punctured by a screwdriver. Then you are shown fuel gauge dropping down in only a few seconds! The hole is insignificant compared to the size of a bus fuel tank (usually around 200 liters or more). If the tank was already that empty how come the gauge was way up and dropping. Besides if they are loosing fuel that fast surely the bus would come to a stop very fast. I think it's an insult to an average persons intelligence. - Calvin

• As Jack and Annie are sliding out of the bus on the floor panel, it is simply a floor panel. When the camera goes to a shot of them sliding away, through all the orange cones, you can see that they are sliding on a wheeled panel. - Macrae

• In the beginning of the airport scene, there is a ad with a zebra on it on one side of the bus. A few shots later, it's gone. Then it reappears. - Cass

• Toward the end of the movie, it is established that Payne has a camera trained on everyone in the bus. Before knowledge of this is imparted upon Reeves, Payne explicitly instructs him not to try anything funny. Presuming then, that Payne had been capable of watching the action the whole time, (e.g., calling Annie a "Wildcat"), why then did he seem either unable or unwilling to do anything about Reeves being pulled up through the access panel from under the bus after trying to defuse the bomb? He must have seen it, as the only way he could have missed it was to have been sitting on the john for the last sixteen minutes. I say it is because he would have detonated everyone into itty-bitty pieces and the plot of the movie would have gone with it. - Robert V.

• (Continuity) In the part where Jack is going into the subway he places his gun on top of the sub. Somehow he is able to roll straight into the subway with his gun. - EthanS

Corrected Goofs

• Just as the bus lands from jumping the gap in the freeway, you can easily see that there are no passengers in the bus. - Ryan
  • Correction: After the bus lands from the big jump, the passengers are bracing for the impact by ducking...that is why is LOOKS as though there are no passengers. (VHS) - Notorious "R"

• (Revealing mistakes) GAH! I can't believe no one already noticed this one. In the scene where the first bus blows up, and Jack is talking to Hopper on the phone, Hopper says that he wants his money by 11am. Jack then looks at his watch which says 8:05, but if you look in the top left corner of the watch screen, it says ALM. This is what time his watch alarm is set to go off. Not the actual time!!! - Froggy
  • Correction: Actually, the ALM just means that his alarm is set, it does not mean that is the time it will go off. - bacherz

Directed by: Jan de Bont
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Jason Patrick, Willem Dafoe

• Why is there not only 1, but *2* chainsaws in the housekeeping closet on an ocean cruise ship? - Scott

• When the main character is shooting at the bad guy with the shotgun, he shoots, cocks it (it's a pump-action gun) then it moves to a new scene, and he cocks it again, impossible? I think so! - Vic Cherubini

• Not a goof but still cool. Near the end when there is the real big explosion, if you look closely in the top right hand corner at the debris and freeze frame, there is a cow flying through the air. Since this was directed by Jan De Bont (Twister), this guy must have a thing for flying cows. - Greg

• When there is smoke coming out of the vents on the ship, many people strip down their clothing to put over the vents. Miraculously, a couple scenes later they are fully dressed again. - dawn
