Other mistake: Fran is unconscious near a gas stove as Marla comes to save her. As Marla is trying to move her, Fran moves her leg even though she is supposed to be unconscious.
Continuity mistake: When Millie and her friends are talking in the theater, when Josh says "The Blissfield Butcher," watch Millie. Her hands are both down, but when the camera cuts, they are instantly up by her face. Then a few shots later, they're back down again.
Continuity mistake: Maggie was holding two bottles (clear containing a green liquid) in her right hand and set them on the table together with one at an angle behind the other. She moved her hand away and when the camera shifted to a wide view, the bottles were side-by-side (horizontal to the screen) with more space between them. Also, both bottles were almost full, but had less in them when Maggie handed one to Grace at the airport. (Maggie may have had a sip out of hers, but not Grace's; both looked unopened). (00:03:33 - 00:04:25)
Visible crew/equipment: Sara is at the front door video intercom. As the man from the Department of Sanitation is leaving, you can see crew/equipment visible in the reflection. (00:27:15)
Continuity mistake: Isaac is wearing tan or khaki pants but the video of him getting "beamed up" to the spaceship shows dark blue pants. (00:18:15)
Continuity mistake: The kids are in the car with their dad, and despite the best efforts from the youngest, they are reached by his teacher. As the dad starts the "You were killing us" joke, his hand is on/off the steering wheel between shots more than once. (00:07:15)
Other mistake: Based on where Carol is standing near the top of the stairs of her new apartment, more of the couch behind her should be to the left of the screen (like it is in a later shot). (00:48:10)
Visible crew/equipment: After the confederate soldiers offer to buy the girl and are encountered by the union troops, Kidd and Cicada leave. There is a shot of the confederate soldiers coming out of a building. The shadow of the camera is obvious on the lead man. (00:41:55)
Continuity mistake: At the "Wave Hair Salon", Ms. Gordon has a curler/roller at the top of her forehead. In some shots, it is straight, but in other shots it is angled. A little later, Christine goes over to Ms. Gordon and starts rolling down the curler to the top of her forehead as if for the first time. (00:08:04 - 00:08:47)
Factual error: During one scene, a police siren can be heard in the background. However, this was 1960/1 and police sirens were not introduced into the UK until 1963. Before that, police cars had bells.
Continuity mistake: The sizes, locations, and smoothness of the pieces of glass remaining in the wall mirror after Aidan smashes it with a bat change. Initially, there were a few large and several smaller jagged-edged pieces around the top and upper-half of the right side. Later, there were four relatively large smooth-edged pieces spaced around the upper half of the mirror - one in each upper corner and one on each side at the middle. (00:15:48 - 00:19:33)
Other mistake: The scraping sound is not coming from the man "scraping" his windshield. The snow is easily brushed off and there is no icy coating below the "fluffy" snow to realistically produce the sound of scraping ice off a windshield. (00:00:35)
Continuity mistake: The amount/shape/size of the blood/cut on the bridge of Joey's nose varies, as does the obvious presence or absence of blood on the right side of his nose. (00:42:32 - 00:43:50)
Factual error: Hamby apparently spent three nights in the hole. There were snow flurries and a coating of snow on the ground each day but it reached 43° F on day 2; overnight temperatures are typically 20-30° colder than daytime temperatures. Joey brought Hamby a sleeping bag the second night. The next day, Joey told Hamby he'd bring him some blankets, and Hamby pointed out that his sleeping bag was "wet already." This prolonged exposure to cold weather was enough to cause hypothermia but Hamby was fine.
Character mistake: Deputy Becky told Sheriff Justin that Vivian's "been murdered." Discovering a dead body with cuts/scratches, a broken ankle, and a head wound (next to a rock with blood on it) does not automatically mean the person was murdered, and the Sheriff/police should have conducted a thorough investigation before making any conclusion about the cause of death. The death could have been accidental, such as by tripping while fleeing a wild animal. (00:11:55 - 00:13:29)
Continuity mistake: The appearance of Grace's house by the front door (to the left of the screen) changes from the time Billy is standing along the road to when he meets his mother half-way. At first, the side of the house is mostly white; it is mostly brown thereafter. The garage area to Billy's left also changes color from brown to white. (00:05:22)
Continuity mistake: Monica's station wagon and the moving van Jacob drove to their new property in Arkansas are not parked in the same positions moments after their arrival. Initially, both vehicles are at some distance from the mobile home (or trailer) and are roughly parallel. When the camera shifts to a view from the vehicles toward the mobile home, the vehicles are suddenly a lot closer and their front ends are angled toward each other. (00:02:13)
Continuity mistake: There are some continuity problems during the cafeteria scene where Fern is being introduced to her co-workers. Fern is holding a banana, peeled almost to the bottom, and has several slices of banana on her peanut butter sandwich. There is another banana peel on her paper lunch bag. Fern is shown taking a bite of her sandwich. A little later, Fern is holding a partially peeled banana but no slices can be seen on her sandwich. If this is her second sandwich, she already peeled two bananas. (00:05:59 - 00:06:32)
Continuity mistake: The first time we see the girl the main character fawns on, people on the background keep changing between shots during the beach volley game. (00:08:20)
Revealing mistake: The backgrounds during the pawn shop scenes often change, suggesting the use of a "green screen." For example, the grandfather clock was behind the clerk to his left, then not there, but back again. Sometimes shirts are hanging in the front windows but other times there are other items there.
