  • Hayden Christensen replaced Jared Leto.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): SPOILER: Multiple breaches in sterile procedure, including at the end when the doctors "clean up" over Clay's surgical area.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): Clay's heart shows asystole on the ECG monitor, yet the surgeon calls for the defibrillator. An asystole, i.e. non-beating heart, can and must not be defibrillated.
  • Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): SPOILER: The new surgeon states they used Adriamycin to 'spike' the new heart. Adriamycin is a chemotherapeutic agent that is red in color. The syringe that Sam hands to Jack is filled with a clear and colorless liquid, however, the new surgeon was merely speculating what might have been used.
