- Audio/visual unsynchronized: The Polaroid camera used by Susan to take Tom's picture makes the sound of an SX-70 model's auto eject, but is an older model with a manual film extract.
- Continuity: When running away from the assassins, Tom slides down the handrail of an escalator, which gets dirt on the seat of his pants. As he turns to run further, the dirt has suddenly disappeared.
- Plot holes: The Pentagon is one of the largest buildings in the world, with 17 miles of corridors alone. For a single group to search it in two hours is preposterous.
- Continuity: When Tom "steals" the government car getting repaired he tears the rear bumper off as it drops off the lift. When you see the car again on the highway the bumper is back on the car.
- Continuity: Farrell is in a completely different pose in the Polaroid picture to the one we saw him in when the picture was taken.
- Continuity: When Tom Farrell is in the computer room he deliberately knocks over a cup of coffee and then sits in it. As he stands up, the coffee shows only down the front of his pants, not on his rear.
- Continuity: When Leon Russom is handing Farrell and Pritchard CIA reports he pulls them out of his briefcase. The next moment they walk him out of the office and he doesn't pick up the briefcase. Later he has it.
- Continuity: When Farrell's arm is sliced by the "goon" at the end it is much lower on the arm than where the band-aid shows it wrapped up in the last shots.
- Factual errors: At the inauguration party, the band sounds three "Ruffles and Flourishes" and then "Hail to the Chief" for the departure of the President. The President should receive four "Ruffles and Flourishes" prior to "Hail to the Chief", and both are sounded only at his entrance, not his departure.
- Errors in geography: The goons chase Farrell to a Metro station in Georgetown, but there is no such station. Furthermore, the train in the Metro station belongs to the Baltimore Metro, not the Washington Metro.
- Continuity: During the opening flyover of the Pentagon, both North and South parking lots are relatively empty; during the closing flyover, both lots are full though only a few minutes of interrogation time have passed.
