  • The computer code seen as part of Ice-9 is actually gibberish taken from code written in C for Windows using Hungarian notation for variables and seemingly part of an earlier routine to search for files. It is not syntactically correct - taken as a whole it's just gibberish.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): During the scene where Clayton is kidnapped and put in the "Breaking test" cell, he's seen with his hands at his side and un-cuffed. He even manages to throw his food at the door and punch it before sitting down still cuff-less, however, when the "guards" return to the room, he's lying on the floor with his hands re-cuffed behind his back.
  • SPOILER: Body count: 3 (including James's father).
  • Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): SPOILER: Burke tries to convince Clayton he has blanks in the pistol. Clayton checked the magazine when he first received the weapon. He would have seen right away if there were blanks, as they look quite different from real rounds. He had also fired such weapons in the firing range, and this weapon at Zack. Blanks have no recoil so he would have immediately noticed the difference. Burke would know this, and would not have tried such a useless ploy, no matter how desperate.
