details

• Continuity: Father Kovak writes down '666' on a sheet of paper to illustrate how it is '999' when upturned. In the next shot it is quite clearly a different piece of paper with a different '666' on it.
  
  
• Continuity: Christine's bathrobe when she's being attacked in her closet.
  
  
• Continuity: After the priests have tried to kill Christine at her home, Jericho is seen walking behind her. One shot the white door behind is open but when the frame changes to Jericho the door is shut and then back open in the next shot.
  
  

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Jericho reads Revelations 20:7 aloud (some were unable to identify it).
  
  
• Continuity: When Jericho jumps on one of the Knights in Christine's bedroom, he knocks a panel out of the open door next to her bed. In the next scene where he is talking with her about her past, the panel has been replaced and the door is shut, but is open again in the next shot.
  
  
• Continuity: When Jericho follows the priest through the door in St John's church, there is a stairwell behind it turning to the left, leading into the basement. Yet moments before, when we see the door from the other side, it leads into a room on the right. Also, in these two shots, the door opens to different sides.
  
  
• Continuity: When Jericho and Chicago are searching for Christine in the database the computer reads the same files several times. Even Christine's record appears once or twice before it is finally found.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: Glock handguns do not have external hammers to pull back. In several scenes, Jericho can be heard pulling back a hammer on his pistols.
  
  
• Factual errors: A voice-over news announcer reports that blood has been seen coming from the hands of the infant Christ child in the sculpture "The Pieta". However, "The Pieta" does not depict the infant Jesus - it is a statue of Mary holding the dead body of the adult Jesus.
  
  
• Factual errors: Numerous problems with the notion that the Millennium begins at midnight Eastern Standard Time on 1 January 2000 .
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: After Christine gets out of the shower, we hear the director cue here by saying, "Go," before she walks past the camera.
  
  
• Continuity: When Jericho is pursuing The Man's would-be assassin priest, he is being lowered by a winch from a helicopter. In the very next shot, Jericho is pursuing the priest on foot and the helicopter winch has disappeared.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Jericho reaches the ground from the helicopter, you can see him start running after the assassin priest with the repel line still hooked to the back of his trench coat. In the next shot the line is gone.
  
  
• Factual errors: One of the symbols leading Satan (Gabriel Byrne) to his subjects is a pentagram with three of its arms facing upwards. A pentagram with three of its arms facing upwards is *not* a symbol of Satanism. It is a symbol of the Wiccan faith, and Wiccans do not believe in the Devil. A pentagram with two of its arms facing upwards and the other three facing downwards is a symbol of Satanism.
  
  
• Plot holes: It is said that the Mark of the Beast is "666" but in Apocalypse it was to be inverted, so the real Mark is "999". In the time of St. John number "6" was not in use; it is an Arabic sign and came to use several centuries later.
  
  
• Factual errors: During the opening credits several sections of text scroll past in various languages. The last is a section of Hebrew which is clearly upside down.
  
  
• Factual errors: Subway cars do not have big levers on the outside that will uncouple the cars.
  
  

• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): SPOILER: In the final sequence when Satan has over taken Jericho's body, you can hear Jericho screaming for "Christina" to come out of hiding. The character's name is "Christine" not "Christina".
