88 Minutes

Continuity: Jack's Porsche has 15 spoke rims when it leaves the underground parking garage at his office. When he arrives at the university his car has 5 spoke rims.


  • Errors in geography: Although the film is set in Seattle, a Shoppers Drug Mart store can be seen early in the movie. Shoppers Drug Mart is a Canadian chain of drugstores, the movie was shot in Vancouver, BC.

  • Errors in geography: Although the film is set in Seattle, an orange "24 Hours" newsstand can be clearly seen when Jack Gramm is getting into the taxi at the beginning of the movie. 24 Hours is a newspaper published only in Vancouver, and Toronto.

  • Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The name Jon Forrester is spelled Jon at the beginning but in another scene it is spelled John on the name MSNBC interview.

  • Crew or equipment visible: At 36'37" into the film, as Jack Gramm stops the motorbike at the car park barrier, a crew member can be seen in the background wearing combat patterned trousers and a black T shirt.

  • Continuity: After Jack receives his first phone call whilst giving his lecture, he places his mobile phone screen down, then when it rings again it is facing up with the screen visible.

  • Continuity: Around 45 minutes in to the film, Jack answers a cellphone, first with his left hand, then in the next shot its in his right hand, and in the last shot its back in his left.

  • Anachronisms: The scene depicting Gramm's sister as a child took place when Gramm was in his twenties, which puts it 20 to 30 years ago. Despite this, modern vehicles are seen in the background.

  • Continuity: Although most of the film transpires during "88 minutes", Jack's hair length changes between long and short several times.
