Mistake Continuity: In the scene where a zombie's head is held up in the truck to be shot there is a big splatter of blood down on the face of the soldier. He wipes a very small amount of blood off but when he gets into the other truck he is perfectly clean.

Mistake Continuity: When the old car blows up both of the dead zombies are gone.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Roger hits the zombie with the truck, notice at the bottom right a trampoline in which the zombie jumps off.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: After the main characters have entered the mall through the skylight, and have gone down the stairway in order to secure the mall, Scott Reineger and Ken Foree open the door into the corridor leading to the control room and boiler room. Whilst walking through said doorway, there is movement in the shadows in the top left. This has to be a crew member, as the only other zombie that is in this area is in the boiler room.

Mistake Other: In the aerial shots of the semis being driven in the mall parking lot, the zombies are milling about. Notice they have left a path just clear enough for the truck.

Mistake Continuity: When the Sweater vest zombie first goes up to the 2nd floor he appeared coming up to the 2nd floor moments later.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the two kids in the airport attack Peter and try to bite him, notice in the top right corner a crewmember's hand comes into shot.

Mistake Factual error: In the scene where they are refuelling the helicopter (as a zombie approaches quietly from behind) the actor has put the gas nozzle not into the hole for the gas tank, but into one of the foot-holes that helicopter mechanics use to climb up to the top of the helicopter to do repairs. It doesn't even fit properly.

Mistake Revealing: When the bikers are grabbing their weapons, we see a grenade. You can tell that it is fake because the bottom is bored out.

Mistake Continuity: Peter and Roger are attempting to hold off some approaching zombies while trying to get the door to Penny's shut. Peter then throws his gun and the keys into the store. In the very next shot he is trying to pull the same keys out of the lock on the door.

Mistake Continuity: When Stephen shoots a zombie clinging onto the car, whilst driving off there manages to be a streak of blood in front of the zombie where the previous take took place.
