Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Plot hole: Peter Kingsley is shot and killed by a man in a helicopter just as he is about to kill Jack. Kingsley would definitely have heard the helicopter approaching.
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: During the showdown between Jack and Kingsley at the colloseum, the shadows made by the early morning sun change throughout the sequence. By the time the SWAT-team arrives, the sunlight comes from the other side entirely. (00:20:50 - 00:29:45)
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Other mistake: In the shootout at the stadium, several times when Jack fires a gun the sound of the gun firing is heard but it is obvious that the gun did NOT fire. Most noticeable when Jack fires the third shot at the man behind the wall and when he is struggling for the gun with the last guy who he beats up.
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Visible crew/equipment: When Jack and Sherry are running down the corridor, Jack is thrown against the wall. Look at the edge of the screen and you can see the camera that shot the last shot move.
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Audio problem: In the french-dubbed over version, in the last seconds of the episode, just after Palmer has fainted and the camera is zooming out and the sound is fading, you can just make out his secretary shouting "Help", in english.
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: At the end of E23 Jack and Mrs Palmer crash their SUV. It shows the right front hubcap fly off. At the beginning of E24, when Jack tries to start the car, it is back on.
Chosen answer: Nobody knew, not even the writers, until at least halfway through the season when they were writing the end. They wanted to keep all options open.
