Revealing: When the Porsche Cayenne is lifted out of the water at the scrap yard then placed on the ground, if you look through the gap between the front passenger wheel you can see the engine is removed from it.

Factual error: The timeline of the movie is near the end of January 2009, as seen on cellphones throughout the movie. This would mean a new President would have been inaugurated only days before. Therefore, his address to Congress would not be called the State of the Union Address as this does not officially occur until the 2nd year of the Presidency.

Revealing: When Jerry jumps out of the building to escape the FBI, when he lands it does not look like Shia LaBeouf but a double.

Factual error: There is no multi-towered interstate in Indianapolis. The interstate shown is the Los Angeles freeway outside of LAX. When the Air Force plane left Dayton, there was a shot of the mountains outside of the airport. There are no mountains near Dayton.

Continuity: When Agent Perez's helicopter takes off from "Chicago" after the recovery of the Cayenne, her helicopter has a California flag on its tail.

Plot hole: The Bomb (crystal-necklace) in the last scene would be triggered by frequency-response as soon as the trumpet hits the high F in the star spangled banner. The exact same 'high-F-note' has however by that time already been played by the trumpet (you can actually hear it) a few phrases earlier. Check any score of the anthem. The F sounds earlier on the word 'glare' (rockets red glare). So the bomb should already have been triggered.

Revealing: When Agent Perez arrives at the Defense headquarters, there's a shot of a helicopter landing. The US Flag emblem near the top of the elevator is reversed, probably meaning that they flipped the shot.

Continuity: When Jerry ducks in front of a car to avoid the remote control plane in the tunnel, he ducks in front of a Dodge Avenger. When Jerry steps away from the front of the car, it is a Chrysler Sebring. He gets into this car and drives away. He is then seen racing to the US Capitol in a Dodge Avenger.

Plot hole: Towards the end of the movie, Zoey destroys ARIA's robotic eye, causing her to shut down. Yet, later, we see ARIA's screen showing the countdown to when the bomb is triggered.
