Goofs

• Revealing mistakes: When Six is balancing on the railing on the top of the skyscraper, you can see the safety harness underneath his shirt.
• Continuity: When Six is hanging over the well, he knocks off his left shoe to check the depth of the well. After he is rescued, he and Violet walk through a door and he has his left shoe on.
• Continuity: At the end, on top of the skyscraper, the dome of glass is destroyed and fire is protruding from the building. Moments later, the glass is replaced and no fire is evident.
• Continuity: After Violet and Six get off the train, Six pauses and looks up at a large building, and Violet talks to him. In one of the shots, his scar moves from above his left eye to above his right eye.
• Continuity: When Violet and Six are in the car facing Draxus, the driver's door is open. When she reverses into the gang of attacking ninjas, the bird's-eye shot shows the car doors all closed. When we cut back to the pair in the car, the driver's door is open.
• Continuity: When Violet jumps off the building with the package, she cracks the ground, from the aerial view when she walks away from it, the ground is undamaged.
• Continuity: When the second lot of guards in black glass uniform enter the room, after it is identified that Violet is a mite, Violet begins to fight with them, however the same guard falls to the floor three times in different shots. Then when Violet defeats the guards wearing black glass uniforms, she drops both parts of the gun she previously took apart. In the first shot as she drops them, the part dropped to the viewers left of the screen lies perfectly flat on the ground. But in the next shot as Violet walks away and picks up the white case, that part of the gun is now sticking up off the ground, and is partially lying on a guard, and has now changed position.
• Continuity: Nearing the end of the film, Violet infiltrates the complex and makes her way into a white room with tons of men in white suits. She starts fighting them and when a couple of guys come at her, she moves quickly and one guy stabs the other in the chest/gut. Now she goes to elbow one of the guys in the face, watch his helmet, it comes flying off, revealing his head and hair. Then the camera quickly changes to another angle, the helmet is perfect on straight.

Trivia

• Against the wishes of director Kurt Wimmer, the film was completely re-edited by the studio after they saw the original version which they apparently did not like; they saw it as 'too emotional' for the action film they were expecting and re-edited it so there would be more of an emphasis on the action and to cut it down to a PG-13 rating. The edition shortened the film from its original length of 120 minutes to 88 minutes. The director was quite angry about the edition, and many fans agree that it lowered the quality of the film significantly.
• Shipped to cinemas under the name "Female Warrior".
• In the theatrical trailer, when Daxus punches Violet's hologram, the gun he is holding has been digitally removed from the scene (it's there in the movie).
• The invented language used in the film is called Thaihindi.
• The production notes state that Kurt Wimmer was "inspired to retell John Cassavetes cult classic Gloria (1980) as a comic book action-adventure." Gloria tells the story of a beautiful gun-toting woman who rescues a young boy from the mafia.
• In the beginning, when Violet is escorted into the building, the corridor is painted in yellow and black bands which seem to form 6 roughly equilateral triangles of alternating yellow and black: the "fallout shelter" symbol. This is not, as previously stated, the logo of the Umbrella Corporation. The Umbrella logo is eight red and white isosceles triangles forming an octagon.
• Director Trademark: [Kurt Wimmer] the muzzle flash on Violet's Uzi-like submachine resembles the biohazard symbol, similar to the way in Wimmer's previous movie Equilibrium (2002), that John Preston's guns have muzzle flashes that resemble the Tetragrammaton symbol.
• Kurt Wimmer wrote the script with Milla Jovovich in mind as the lead character.
• Milla Jovovich's character uses a more authentic variant of "Gun Kata", a unique blend of gunfighting and martial arts developed by director Kurt Wimmer for his previous film Equilibrium (2002).
