Two computers under Elijah's desk move three feet to the right.

During the scene where David strangles the killer, the wall shakes.

The repaired hole from a previous take is obvious before the hole is made.

The "original" comic pages displayed in the gallery "Limited Edition" are too small.

Comic book art is done on 14X17 pages, much larger than on display here.

David Dunn and a few other security guards are shown wearing FSU jackets and caps; this refers to the fictional Franklin State University where he works (the name derives from Franklin Field, the actual stadium name).

When David Dunn opens the letter from Limited Edition, a close-up shows the envelope flap closed as he reads the card.

From a different angle, the flap is open.

When David shares his identity with his son at the breakfast table, he pushes a newspaper toward him.

In the close-up, the newspaper is folded into quarters, but in the wide-angle shot, it is clearly only folded in half.

Early in the movie David is reading a "Philadelphia Inquirer" newspaper.

At the end this becomes a "Philadelphia Telegraph".

The "Hero rescues two children" headline changes from regular to italic type.

When David's son attempts to shoot David to prove David is unbreakable, David grabs the gun from the table using his left hand (with his wedding band on) in the close up shot, but in the master shot, we can see he used his right hand to grab the gun.

When David Dunn opens the basement door revealing the dead father, in the second quick jump cut close up you can see the man is breathing.

The burglar which David incapacitated is supposed to be dead according to the newspaper article.

But after he was strangled and lying on the floor he was still visibly breathing.

So either David killed him later or he died from the chocking later or the article was mistaken.

All of these make little sense.

People with Osteogenesis imperfecta generally don't grow to be as tall as 'Samuel L.

Jackson' (qv).

When Mr.

Glass gets his first comic book on the playground bench in 1974, the cover of the book depicts as a backdrop the Philadelphia skyline, featuring predominantly Two Liberty Place, which was not built until 1990.

The baby in the opening scene is clearly shown pushing hard against his blanket with what seems to be an intact right arm.

The doctor then states that the baby's arms and legs are broken.

In Elijah's office in the final scene, a newspaper headline reads"Mudslide in Mexico - Kills All Expect Newborn" - "Expect" should be "Except".

At several points they show comic book images which are supposed to be from the "silver age", the 1950s-1960s.

However, the art displayed in them is not accurate for the period and is closer to the style predominant in the industry in the 1990s.

Glass incorrectly describes his disorder (Osteogenesis imperfecta).

He describes the disorder as having 4 types each increasing in severity.

There are 7 types of the disorder and each type has a variety of severities.

After David notices the man in the orange jump suit in the train station is doing his job picking up bags of garbage bags from cans he does not put a new bag in the can.

When David follows the Orange Suit Man into the house, David goes upstairs and into a bedroom where he hears a whimper.

In the master shot, the closet door where the children are held captive is cracked but in the following shot David is seen and heard opening the same door.

Appears to be a continuity error.

Elijah as a boy in scene inside house has his right arm in a sling.

When he goes outside to open his gift his left arm is in the sling and he uses his right arm to open gift.

But in fact the scene inside the house is a reflection of Elijah in the TV Screen, so it is actually his left arm.

Mmm. nomore shyamalan.

'Unbreakable' is a film that revolves around two men who have very special lives. "David Dunn" portrayed by Bruce Willis is a father who is trying to hold on to a broken marriage.

My kind of superhero film. No need for crash & bang sensationalism and spin-off merchandise.

A security guard named David Dunn is coming home from work, when the train he is on is suddenly derailed, the train crashes, and he is the sole survivor, out of 132 people. Without a scratch on his body.

While it may have an interesting concept and intriguing mystery, Unbrekable has nothing to say, as it uses its twist ending with falsify the idea of a sequel into viewers, to make them believe they've watched something important, when it reality they've watch a good concept go absolutely nowhere, by rushing its ending. This film, a supposed psychological thriller, is completely in lack of psychological obstacle, with rather just try to get by on wonder.

Who in the crap is giving this turd high ratings? OMG what a complete waste of my time.

This is the best superhero movie ever made. And yes, that's counting «The Dark Knight» and «Avengers: Endgame».

Every little boy wants to believe that their dad is invincible. At some point in their infancy, they might very well believe in the fact.
