Continuity mistake: When Lincoln and Jordan are running to the Zone 6 door during their escape Lincoln throws a person into Jordan knocking her down. However in the next scene she is miraculously right behind Lincoln again.
Continuity mistake: When the mother is being poisoned shortly after giving birth, we see a toe tag on her right big toe; in the next shot, the toe tag has moved to her left foot.
Continuity mistake: When they are driving behind the truck, a flat piece of metal falls off. Shortly before it hits the car it is "flying" horizontal (20°) however in the next shot, when it hits the car it is suddenly vertical (90°). No time between the two shots for that immense change. (01:18:30)
Continuity mistake: When Tom and Six-Echo are in the car near the end, the chopper shoots down the traffic lights in front of them. When Six Echo drives off again, he drives straight with no problems. (01:37:40)
Continuity mistake: When the clones are in Lincoln's house he takes a drink. When he picks up the bottle, we see the label, but when starts to drink, the label isn't visible anymore and the time is too short to turn it.
Continuity mistake: In the scene with the accelerating fan, there is a shot of the speed dial going towards the maximum. It then cuts to the fan speeding up. When it returns to the dial, the needle traverses the exact same distance that it did before.
Continuity mistake: When the row of train wheels is first shown rolling off the back of the truck, it has a flat sheet of metal on top of it. In the next shot, the sheet is gone. And in the next shot (when the wheels hit the road), it's back.
Continuity mistake: As Lincoln and Jordan are escaping they enter a room and we then see the guards coming down a set of stairs. You then hear Jordan shout at Lincoln. As the camera cuts back, we see the same guard run down the same set of stairs again.
Continuity mistake: Towards the beginning of the film, when Lincoln and Jordan first escape, we see them running and hiding in the room full of new 'products'. Water is constantly falling from the ceiling like rain, and both of them are soaked, to the point of water running from their hair and clothing in streams. In the next shot, however, when they have just left the room, they are little more than damp.
Continuity mistake: When Lincoln-clone enters the elevator, we see the short older clone has his shoulder in front of Lincoln's. The doors close and the camera switches to an overhead angle and we see Lincoln's shoulder is now in front.
Continuity mistake: Two members of Laurent's team are in the elevator going up to the 70th floor of a rather tall Gas Company Tower in LA (the building with the giant "R" logo; presumably the building's height has been raised) to go after Lincoln and Jordan. When they step out of the elevator, the display inside says "70," but the floor number outside the elevator says "L," indicating that they're actually on the lobby floor. (01:23:00)
Continuity mistake: The first train wheel which falls down from the truck hits the ground twice. (01:17:50)
Continuity mistake: When Mac, Lincoln and Jordan are driving to the railway station. Mac takes the credit card out of Jordan's hands, however in the next shot, Lincoln is already holding it. (01:04:30)
Continuity mistake: When Jordan and Lincoln are at Mac's house, right after they escape, the lava in the lava lamp changes shape and location drastically between shots. (The lava changes much more than would be possible in that short amount of time).
Continuity mistake: The Black Wasp shoots out the truck's right front tire, but the subsequent shots show the truck's left front tire blowing out and the right tire intact. (01:19:50)
Continuity mistake: When Jordan and Lincoln arrive at Tom's place the door opens different directions between shots.
Continuity mistake: After Jordan frees herself from the surgery room, she walks around and looks at a map that she is holding in her hands. The camera then switching to a closeup of the map, but in that shot, the map is being held by male hands instead of female hands. (01:52:51)
Continuity mistake: When the police car stops on the middle of the four way junction, the first shot shows cars parked or waiting in all three lanes, but in the shot where they get broadsided, the armoured van is suddenly coming from the lane which previoulsy had a silver sportscar in it.
Continuity mistake: When Lincoln 6 Echo goes into the facility, he is wearing a blue shirt. When he comes out again, it's purple.
Continuity mistake: When Lincoln and Jordan board the trailer with the train axles, both mudflaps of the trailer are branded Manac (Also has a sticker with the brand on the trailer) and are black with white font As the axles start to fall off, the mudflaps become Mack brand and are white with black font.
Chosen answer: It appears to be some sort of cable - it can be seen leading to the bracelet in the shot from above the bed immediately prior to the one where Lincoln unplugs it. Exactly what it does is never revealed, but it seems likely to be some sort of monitoring system, keeping an eye on Lincoln's health through sensors in the bracelet.
