Corrected entry: When Abby and Owen talk outside, there is no exhalation steam out of their mouths, which obviously would appear in cold winter.

Corrected entry: In the scene where the policeman kicks the door to get in to Owen's apartment, in one shot we can see it breaks right under the handle, in another the door is again perfectly untouched. (01:32:45)

Inception (2010)
Corrected entry: The music heard in the dream(s) played on characters' earphones, to give them a hint the jerk was coming, should be time-distorted. If 5 minutes of reality is much more minutes of dream-life then the time of music played in reality and the time of music played in dreams should differ likewise. The music in the dream would be heard at slower tempo, and the music in the dream within a dream (or the dream within a dream within a dream) would be distorted massively and perceived probably only as a widespread rumble.
Correction: You're assuming that things work that neatly. They don't. It's clear that outside stimuli are incorporated into the lower level dream, but there's no particular suggestion that the time distortion consistently comes into play. For example, Cobb being slapped in the face at one level sends him flying to the ground in a lower one. If the time distortion applied, that wouldn't happen - Cobb would feel pressure on his face drawn out over a period of time, not a sudden slap sending him to the ground. Some form of stimuli occurs at one level - the dreamer's brain picks it up and manifests it in the lower-level dream. How it manifests can vary. That's just how it works.

Correction: Breath isn't always seen when it is cold out, it's more an indication of humidity. Just because there is snow on the ground does it mean it is very cold out, and just because there isn't snow on the ground does it mean it's warm. In New Mexico, where the story takes place, it is not humid much of the time. Therefore, there may not be much breath vapor. I work at a place where the last few days it has been extremely cold outside, with and there is little breath vapor. Inside the plant it is warmer, but more humid, and breath is visible.
