Continuity mistake: After walking in the muddy path, Marta is greeted by very affectionate dogs. Daniel Craig approaches the dogs and the kneeling Ana de Armas with just his left hand in his pocket. Close-up, and he has both hands in his pockets all of a sudden. Return to the first wider angle and Craig's right hand is out of the pocket just as before. (00:58:10)

Continuity mistake: Walking outside of the shack with the recording equipment, Marta is rubbing the tape with the magnet. Notice the position of her hand when she is walking - correctly, she is holding the magnet end against the cassette. The close-up that reveals the trick to the audience though, starts with her holding it the opposite way. (There is technically time for her to flip it around in her hand in the couple seconds when her hand is not on camera, but we see her put her hand by her side to conceal the magnet's presence, and then how she holds it tightly against the same spot on the coat; switching the side the magnet is facing would require a deliberate movement with no sense or purpose). (00:57:00)

Continuity mistake: When they are inspecting the outside of the house, one of the dogs brings to Marta the piece of trellis she broke. She holds it in close-up with the loop facing upwards, but as it cuts to Blanc shouting "Sweet beans!" the circle is pointing down. (00:59:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Blanc is questioning the security person of the estate. In the close-up you can see him pin a picture to the board using one of the magnets. To the right there's a banana magnet. The tip of the banana on the bottom touches exactly the border of the picture almost in the corner, but in the wider angle we see the photo continues half an inch lower. (00:55:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Marta tries the back door of the apartment and stumbles upon Walt. When they talk, she fiddles nervously with her mail and brings up an unmarked envelope, which should be on top of everything since she just dug for it. When she retreats into the kitchen, she puts the mail pile on the table; in the first shot there's a bunch of business cards on top of everything; after a view of her face and upper body when she is not messing further with the letters, there's a close-up of her going through the mail, and the unmarked envelope is exactly on top, with the cards gone. (01:26:10 - 01:28:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After the reading of the will, the family storms the lawyer. Linda is reading the will holding it in both hands, which becomes one hand at the cut. (01:10:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Marta sinks her white shoes in the mud to cover her tracks. We see that the shoes are, as they should be, all dirty to the sole and welt. They are clean again in the following scene though (on a sidenote, the shoes have been cleaned after the murder then, and she or her mom missed the bloodstain - it's very much possible, it just adds a little implausibility). (00:57:20)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: The killer shows up at the scheduled appointment at 8 AM. They kill the idiot blackmailer with an overdose of morphine. Remember, that morphine that supposedly killed Thrombey in 10 minutes. Marta finds the blackmailer at 10 AM...alive, and does CPR on them, keeping them alive long enough for the ambulance to come and bring them to the hospital, even if in critical condition. So we went from "kills in 10 minutes, you can't even try to save him" to "after 2 hours, you are still hanging on"? (01:56:10)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: During the revelation of the second death, when the killer opens the toxicology report they just retrieved, the date is revealed; it says it was issued on 09/27/2018. But the events of the movie happen in November (it's Sunday 18th Nov when Marta wakes up with all the reporters at her door). It should also be noted that when a close-up of the report was shown earlier (when Ransom was looking at the anonymous letter brought by Marta) that copy had a big stamp in a corner saying 11-17-18, that in this copy is totally absent. (01:56:55)

Continuity mistake: During the denouement Marta asks "So why did she send it to me?", and Benoit Blanc replies with his right hand in mid-air - but it's in his pocket at the beginning of the next shot. (01:54:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Blanc says he has no idea how Fran got hold of the toxicology report; in that shot, wide angle, Marta's hair cover her right side of the collar of her coat, like in most of the scene. But in the close-up that follows, when she blurts out of the reason, her hair is on the inside of it. (01:54:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the explanation of the events, Ransom angrily replies to Blanc "You have her confession" as he objects that there's no proof about the vial switch. Daniel Craig says "All right, yeah" arms down, but in the next shot he is shown at the edge of the frame during Marta's closeup, and his arm is bent. During that close-up Ana de Armas ' hair is also differently spread over the shoulders compared to the following view. (01:52:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ransom is brought back in the room for Blanc's denouement by Officer Wagner. First shot he has his hand under Ransom's armpit. Second, Chris Evans' arm is close to the body, no officer hand in sight. Third like the first, hand under armpit. Fourth, the officer is a few steps away and with his arm lowered. (01:46:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ransom's presence has been incendiary, and everyone is arguing. Walt and Richard get into a slapfest pawing at each other, and Ransom in a close-up says "We gotta do this more often", eating the biscuit. At the cut with Linda shouting "Hey!" and shutting everybody up, Ransom is in the background just contemplating the cookie still in his hand. Similarly, later when Jacob says what he heard and everyone looks at him, he is chewing in the background, but puts his cookie in his mouth in the close-up. (01:02:35)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Opening the blank envelope, Marta finds the fragment of the toxicology report. It is signed "Office of the chief medical examiner, Norfolk County, Massachusetts." But then it writes also the address of said office, which is in Marlborough. Marlborough is also the city when Marta resides, and where the lawyers' letters we see come from. But Marlborough is also a city in the Middlesex county, not Norfolk. (01:28:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Marta goes to Ransom to tell him about the blackmail letter. During the scene, the position of Chris Evans' hands is inconsistent between shots (he suddenly has his hand under his chin in just a close-up, and he is holding the letter at a different angle when he tells Marta that the toxicity report will shot the overdose). (01:28:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the end of the car chase, Marta is looking at Blanc shielding her eyes with her hand. When he says "I don't know what he came back to do" etc, Marta's hand is off her forehead, but is on in the shots before and after. (01:34:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: There's a clear mix-up in editing during the car chase. Marta checks her phone twice for Blanc's calls as she tries to get away from the police. The first time the phone signals 9:36 AM, the second time 9:34 AM. (01:31:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The quantity of barf on the killer's face varies between shots - in particular they have a big reddish bit on a cheek that disappears in the dramatic slo-mo side view when they push Marta down, weapon in hand. (02:00:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Ransom asks "Fran's alive?" to Blanc, Chris Evans has his hand raised, thumb before his lips. But the hand is lowered in the shots before and after. Similar situation when the word "Jail" is used a few seconds later. Hand visible in close-up, not matching the wider angles. (01:58:10)
