Goofs
When Jess wakes up below deck Heather asks her if she would like a glass of champagne, Jess smiles and says yes. But when they both climb to the deck moments later Jess is empty handed and Heather walks away with both glasses.

Towards the end of the movie, when Jess prepares to drive off, she puts the duffel bag containing her doppelgänger's corpse in the trunk. During the accident scene, the doppelganger's corpse is lying on the pavement, no longer in the duffel bag. The positioning of the corpse in the road is deliberate, as Christopher Smith explains on the DVD commentary. The audience is meant to question whether the "doppelganger" has really been thrown out of the trunk and bag during the crash, or was in fact the "real" Jess who was driving - and therefore killed - in the "original" accident.

When the coverall and mask wearing Jess is battling regular dressed Jess near the edge of cruise ship, the hands of the masked version are very obviously a man's. Dark and thick arm hair and much larger hands can be seen briefly at various points during the struggle.

Jess: [to Tommy] Oh you're just having a bad dream, that's all baby. That's all it was. Bad dreams make you think you're seeing things that you haven't. You know what I do when I have a bad dream? I close my eyes and I think of something nice - like being here with you.

A Note Regarding Spoilers
A
The following FAQ entries contain spoilers. Some may be covered with spoiler tags, but they have been used sparingly in order to make the page more readable.
Q
Was Triangle influenced or inspired by Timecrimes?
A
A number of viewers have suggested that there is a similarity to the film Los cronocrímenes (Timecrimes). These suggestions generally centre on perceived similarities in the plot and overall theme, and the use of a masked protagonist. However, Timecrimes was released in September 2007, whereas Christopher Smith and Jason Newmark explain on the film's Making of documentary that the central idea for Triangle came about while they were in Cannes in 2004 after making Creep. Also, Smith referred to the production of Triangle in an interview with Shock Till You Drop in May 2007 - months before the release of Timecrimes.Smith discussed similarities between Triangle and other films in an interview with Bloody Disgusting: "At roughly the same time there was Triangle, Timecrimes, Moon and Primer (slightly before but similar), all of which deal with the idea of looking back at yourself. Its the zeitgeist I suppose, film-makers responding to the news and culture around them and asking themselves, whos the good guy, whos the bad guy, and feeding this into their work."The sackcloth mask used in Triangle was inspired by Friday the 13th Part 2, and is one of many intentional movie references that appear throughout the film. The "mask" worn by the killer in Timecrimes is in fact a wrapped-round bandage.
Q
The sinister and determined Jess with the blood-covered face: where did she come from?
A
This is the character Christopher Smith refers to on the DVD commentary as "the mean Jess": "So the one that's now been shot in the head [by "loop 2" Jess in the theatre] will end up being the one who is the one with the blood on her face, which we call "the mean Jess", and I've seen on the Message Boards on the IMDB, people saying "Who's the mean Jess?". The mean Jess is, for me, is someone who perhaps has been through the loop before - this was the ideas we were having in the script - but really what it's about is that our Jess has a mean side. We see that later on when we get home: we see that she has a mean side when she hits her child. So there's no reason why we can't assume that the one that's on the ship that's playing the mean side of her could have gone that way, and could have got to... I mean, if you got back on the ship and you do remember what's happened, you're going to be a lot more brutal and calculating than the Jess that we're following, because you know that you have to kill those people in order to get back to save your son." Smith goes on to explain the significance of the mean Jess's wound: "...And the way we've set the make-up up is very deliberate: that she's got this blood in a very designed way on one side of her face. It's the same make-up design exactly as the Jess that dies in the back of the car. So it shows that the idea that the mean side of Jess is the one that dies in that car: the one that's killed by the hammer at the end is the mean side of her, and it's that mean side of her that is the more brutal killer on the boat." During the sequence where Jess comforts a dying Sally, it is this same mean Jess that we see being overpowered, apparently killed and then dumped overboard by another iteration of Jess.
