1. If you're running for your life and there is a big wall you need to get to the other side of, stand still right on top of it with your back turned to the guys chasing and wait till they shoot you dead.

A. You can get shot in the back at least twice, and still get up and walk away with a little help! (The scene at the end).
Maybe it's because the character is played by Naomi Watts, who is too hot to kill off.

B. Even if the overseer knew all about Peter, it was totally (Not?) predictable that deciding to gas him also, wouldn't cause him to turn sides once again, and open the door.

2. There is never any abort or lock-down mechanism in the otherwise super high-tech hover ship of a villain boss, so you can simply walk up to it (while said boss watches on) and fly away. Then the only option the boss have is to direct other military ships to bump into you mid-flight to force you down. Also military hover ships have such slow missiles that ordinary hover ships can just outfly them with ease.

3. You'll always survive a deadly high-speed crash of a hover ship on any surface with a few cuts and limp. The best way to fully recover is placing your right hand on the left side of your torso and cough a few times. Maybe also hunch over a bit while walking. Within 1-2 days you'll fully recover. Guaranteed.

4. You can fool a super high tech, invisible, possible nano technology based camouflage wall that contains floating energy balls of death by simply wafting a keycard you just took off another person at it.

7. (4. b) Despite that everyone has a unique barcode on their wrist, you need a keycard to cross the high tech camouflage wall.

5. Memory erasing gas is coloured orange so everyone can see it coming.

6. You need to be fully immersed in orange colored memory erasing gas in order for it to affect you.

6b. Otherwise, even if people breath in the orange gas for several minutes, it has no effect.

5.1 The gas is suspiciously well-behaved around the main cast, remaining under knee-height and allowing them to waddle in it for minutes without ill effects.
...
The high-tech society of the future could learn a thing or two from their ancestors about proper use of gas on the battlefield. The army engineers of World War 1 (1914-18) were more effective, with much less technology. Crack a history book, perhaps ?

5.2. And once you shut off the source of the gas, the fumes that were already dispersed in the air (remaining at ankle-level only, of course) will magically dissipate as if sucked up by a vacuum.

8. You can have super advanced technology like hover crafts, bubbles to contain the contamination, and showers that doesn't make your hair wet, but you still need an assistant to travel all the way down the building to tell a person you need to see (Tris) to come up to meet with you.

09. If someone tells you that it will take a while for you to get used to operating personal drones, what they really mean is "about a minute."

10. If you run into an electrified security fence, the generator powering it will be sitting just in front of it un-protected, so you can easily disable it, without even having to walk very far.
