“Hitman” Goofs List
- Errors in geography: During the movie the teletype text says, “Russian Border – Turkey” This film takes place during modern times and Turkey does not border Russia but Bulgaria, among other countries. They could be referring to the Azerbaijan-Turkey border, as Azerbaijan is a member of the CIS, sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as “Russia”, especially by Americans, but this would still be inaccurate.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Many of the scenes showing Agent 47 as a child during training are taken from James Cameron’s “Dark Angel”. The child playing young 47 is actually Geneva Locke, a girl! She plays young Max, Jessica Alba’s character in Dark Angel.
- Continuity: Near the end of the film, when Interpol Inspector Michael Whittier is sitting in the ambulance, his shirt is open, he then is shown to be buttoning it closed, but in the next shot (from far away) his shirt is still completely open. In the next shot, from up close as he stands his shirt is completely buttoned closed again.
- Factual errors: SPOILER: When the Interpol agents storm the Arch Bishop’s chamber (after 47 kills Belicoff), they are shown with Israeli gas masks that are supposed to have a filter chamber on the mouth.
- Continuity: SPOILER: When 47 shoots Mikhail Belicoff, the bullet appears to hit Belicoff in the forehead, just above the eyes. Later, when 47 learns that Belicoff is still alive, he states that he shot Belicoff through the nasal cavity, several inches below where he actually appeared to have shot him. Later, it becomes clear that Belicoff was actually shot in the left side of his forehead, again several inches away from previous locations shown (this is shown by Belicoff’s double’s bandage, Belicoff’s corpse at the morgue, and a diagram during a short montage). Belicoff’s corpse in the morgue is also shown to have a fairly neat entry wound, whereas in the footage of him being shot, the top half of his head is obliterated entirely.
- Continuity: With the Interpol agents coming down from the private plane, you can hear the engines powering down but when you look at the jet turbines, you don’t see them moving at all.
- Factual errors: Since the movie is filmed in Bulgaria, many road signs are in Bulgarian, not Russian.
- Continuity: Throughout the first few scenes Nika is in, her makeup is smeared. After 47 lets her out of the trunk and gives her breakfast sandwich, her makeup is suddenly flawless, and she has much less on.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the scene in the hotel room in Russia, when Nika gets up and stands on the balcony, Agent 47 is reading through papers on his target. In them Istanbul is spelt ‘Istambul’. However, the name of “Istambul” is still used among many European countries.
- Factual errors: Like many other movies portraying Interpol agents many mistakes are made concerning how Interpol works and operates. For example Interpol officers do not directly conduct inquiries in member countries and Interpol’s constitution forbids its involvement in several types of crimes, such as political ones.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Agent 47 and Nika are in the car while she’s eating her sandwich, 47 says, “Back at the station, you interfered”. The “you interfered” doesn’t match up with what he’s saying.
- Crew or equipment visible: At 48:45 a wire or cable can be seen under the opposite side of the detective’s car as he stands outside speaking with the Russian police.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Whittier states that the passage on the cross from 47’s luggage is from Psalms. It is actually a shortened version of Proverbs 3:5-6.
- Errors in geography: Interpol headquarters is located in Lyons, France and not in London.
- Continuity: During the scene where 47 shoots the two bodyguards in the bathroom, he shoots the fat bodyguard once, though two bullet holes can easily be seen – one on each shoulder blade.
- Factual errors: Michael Whittier said that a bullet that hit Belicoff was fired 4km away, however, no sniper rifle is capable for such a far shoot, the longest range recorded for sniper kill is merely 2430m. There isn’t a rifle or munition in existence that has the accuracy or effective distance to be able to hit someone from four kilometres away.
- Continuity: After Agent 47 finishes talking to Nika in the car, the scene cuts to the car from the rear driving away. The Audi that is driving away is an RS4 Cabriolet. It is the same car Agent 47 uses while going to the Palace of Udre but not the car which he stole from Belicoff’s man. That was an Audi S5.
- Continuity: When 47 and Nika return from the restaurant, there is no chest at the bottom of the bed, however when 47 returns from Udre’s club, he throws his gloves down onto a chest at the bottom of the bed.
- Errors in geography: On the northern hemisphere (Istanbul), when the sun is rising, it should travel from left to right and can be seen on the southern sky. It seems that the rising sun in Istanbul-shot is filmed in the southern hemisphere.
- Errors in geography: President Belicoff speaks to a reporter in a middle of a large demonstration of protesters, supposedly in Russia. But the sign on the building is in Bulgarian – “Ivan Vazov National Theatre”, which is, in fact, located in Sofia, Bulgaria.
- Revealing mistakes: While Agent 47 is fighting under the train, during one of his punches you can clearly see it’s not Agent 47, but rather the Assassin who was shot earlier.
- Crew or equipment visible: Opening shot: entering the house, camera crew is visible in the left window just after he puts down his coat.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the female reporter starts to interview Belicoff in St
Petersburg, what she says doesn’t match her lips.
- Continuity: When 47 is shown entering his hotel room for the first time the door reads “501″. When the door is shown again during the police raid it reads “515″.
- Factual errors: On the back patches of FSB uniforms, the Cyrillic letter “S” (C) is flipped left-to-right.
- Continuity: When Agent 47 gets a call on his cell when he’s at the train station, the date on the cell is 10/5/07. At the end of the movie, when Smith gets the text message on his cell from Agent 47 saying they’re even, Smith’s cell phone shows the date 8/15/07.
- Errors in geography: The train station is supposed to be in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The signs in the tunnels of the train station say it is in Moscow.
- Continuity: When Nika and Agent 47 are in the car and she’s eating a sandwich, a moment later you see Nika and on the closeup on her face you see a blond hair sticking out of the right side of her mouth (was she eating a hairy sandwich?). The camera changes to Agent 47 and then back to Nika and the hair’s gone.
- Continuity: In the train fight scene, after Agent 47 kicks the other blade wielding agent out of the train window. Agent 47 removes the (very bloody) blades he had already used, from the other dead agents. However after he gets down, below train level, to begin fighting once again, the blades appear clean.
- Errors in geography: When Agent 47 first leaves St. Petersburg for Moscow, the cut scene where “Moscow – Russia” is displayed on the screen is showing an image of the Kazan Cathedral, located in St. Petersburg.
- Errors in geography: The interpol agents and St. Petersburg police discuss intercepting Agent 47 at the St. Petersburg Station. However there is no St. Petersburg train station in St. Petersburg. The train station shown on the map is the Moscow Station, located in Revolution Square whereas the Leningrad (the former name for St. Petersburg) station is located in Moscow. They were designed by the same architect and deliberately misplaced to represent the bond between the two cities.
- Errors in geography: When the interpol agent chases Agent 47 down the hallway of his hotel, he escapes by jumping through a window and dropping straight down into the canal below – however this is not possible in St. Petersburg. The canals do not run alongside buildings. The way the actual city is set up, alongside each channel of the canal is a sidewalk, then a street, then a wider sidewalk alongside the buildings. He would have had to jump nearly ten meters to make the water.
