The final stunt shows the main character falling out of a helicopter holding a ruggedized digital storage device used in digital movie production. While he is falling through the air, he is not holding anything. When he lands on the air cushion, he is holding the storage device again.

Colt is seen leaving the hotel room where Henry is later found dead, and this is used as proof he killed Henry, but he already had brought the police there right after leaving the room and they didn't find a body, so the video can't be used as proof.

When Gail and Colt are in her trailer early in the movie, she has her nails done. After that, they are short and a different color.

When the car makes the big jump, rolls over several times, and comes to a rest, both front wheels are broken off. In the next scene, after the dust clears, both front wheels are back on the vehicle.

Before the garbage truck fight, Colt took the dog without any leash. Afterward, he runs through the streets with the dog on a leash.

The Mexican restaurant's name is "El Cacatúa del Capitan," but in correct Spanish, it should be "La Cacatúa del Capitán."

While shooting on the beach, the pyrotechnicians make several egregious errors that would get them kicked off set, never work in the industry again, and possibly arrested. First, the director Jody specifically says to stop, yet they continue. Second, there are no warnings to the nearby crew that they will be going off. As people have actually died on set, most infamously on Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983), this would never happen.

The GMC Sierra used in the movie is a Left Hand Drive vehicle. As per New South Wales law, all Left Hand Drive vehicles must either be converted to Right Hand Drive, or to have a "Left Hand Drive" sticker placed on the rear of the vehicle if they are to drive on public roads. Neither was seen. While exceptions may be made for LHD vehicles used in filming locations, where public vehicles are blocked off, such would NOT be the case for after-hours use ... and they wouldn't use film vehicles then in case they were involved in an accident. In fact they would have hired or leased a number of local vehicles for crew usage after hours.

In the final big action sequence, bad guys' SUVs are shown to be flipped over by pyrotechnics. In reality, only stunt cars equipped with "cannons" are capable of flipping so easily.

Colt says that his first stuntman job was jumping a speedboat for Universal Studios' Miami Vice (1984) stunt show. The only watercraft jumps involved in that attraction used Jet Skis rather than speedboats.

During the apartment fight, Colt is shot at close range with a pistol loaded with blanks without any damage. While they don't fire a projectile, blanks are still dangerous and are known to kill at up to six feet.

Even though the goons shoot up Ryder's flat and Sydney Harbour with non-suppressed weapons, no one in the area calls the police.

However, loud gunshots being ignored in action films is so common as to be virtually expected. This certainly falls with the territory of suspension of disbelief.

Everyone calls the film "Metalstorm", and "Metalstorm" is the title shown on the inflatable stunt pad and at Comic-Con. However, when Jody is reviewing film clips, the promotional art has the title as "The Metalstorm". However, it's not uncommon for the workers to call a movie by a shorter name, and the actual title can change quite a bit during production.

Before the first stunt scene, Colt walks through a revolving door clockwise. However, the scene is supposed to take place in New York, where revolving doors turn counterclockwise, revealing the true location of filming.

The garbage truck chase moves quickly from the Sydney Harbour Tunnel to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but in reality, there is no direct road linking the two. One would have to drive through North Sydney and u-turn back towards the city.

In the truck chase with the dog, there's a 7-digit, local American phone number on the truck, omitting the area code. The film is set in Australia, where local phone numbers have 8 digits and are formatted differently.

The skip truck sequence clearly starts under the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the west side, in the area known as The Rocks. Later on, an aerial shot shows the truck, towing Colt, on the bridge, with the Sydney Opera House in the distance. This means that the truck is coming from the east side of Sydney, not the west.

In a brief shot where Colt hangs on to the back of the Skip Bin over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Ford Fiesta seen is of a United States variant. Australian Fiestas were sold as the European variant.

At the end of the movie, when attempting to escape in the helicopter with the recording, Tom and Gail could have simply destroyed it.

When he's tied up, Colt says that the phone was shot out of his hand when he was "by the doorway", but actually he was hiding under the stairs.
