* DidntThinkThisThrough: Ambrose's plan in the final act hinges on letting Nyah loose in downtown Sydney, which would cause her to fall to the virus, have it replicate in tens of thousands of victims, and drive up the share price of Biocyte when they offer the only viable antidote in Bellerophon. It doesn't occur to Ambrose to actually ''keep tabs'' on her -- she simply walks to the North Bluffs in Australia, fully content on [[DrivenToSuicide throwing herself off a cliff]] and ending the threat of the virus right then and there, which would likely have doomed Ambrose's plan even ''if'' Ethan hadn't stopped him. The only reason she's impeded is because Billy and Luther arrive in time to stop her, and bring her back to the site of the final battle between Ambrose and Hunt, where the latter is able to inject her with the antidote.
* ImagineSpot: During the mission to destroy the Chimera samples in the Biocyte lab, Ethan imagines Dr. Nekhorvich injecting himself with a sample of the virus and apologizing for what he must do -- an incident he never personally witnessed (it's reused footage from earlier in the film).
* JustInTime: A villainous variation -- Ambrose and his goons arrive just in time to stop Ethan from destroying the last canister of the Chimera virus, with a shootout commencing between both sides as they try to gain control of it.

** Ethan is able to pull off [[CarFu feats on a motorcycle]] -- shooting backwards (while not looking) with a high degree of accuracy, maintaining speed on a motorcycle while functionally "skidding" across the ground on the soles of his shoes, and pulling off near-gravity defying feats like "floating" his motorcycle onto a bridge via a ramp and slowing to a dead stop with one wheel of the cycle -- that are never repeated in any subsequent film, even though the majority of them lean into high-speed motorcycle chases (which become very "traditional" in nature).

* ArtisticLicenseReligion: The film's portrayal of the Spanish Holy Week in Seville is bad. It mixes the Holy Week (a Spanish religious festival that is celebrated in April) with the burning monuments of the Fallas (another Spanish festival, non-religious and completely unrelated to the previous, which only takes place in March in the city of Valencia) and shows people wearing attires from the San Fermín (yet another unrelated festival which, again, only takes place in Pamplona, and in mid-summer). To understand it better, this would be the equivalent of a non-American film set in US managing to mix Thanksgiving Day with Mardi Gras and Saint Patrick's Day.
