Continuity mistake: When Miss White is writing Mrs. Heimer on the chalk board, the camera shows Kevin/the class, when the camera comes back to her, she has a different sweater, hairstyle, and her name is written in a different spot. I'm not sure if this is some kind of flash to when everyone comes back to school after summer, or an error.

Continuity mistake: During the car chase scene, the car passes a petrol station and heads straight towards a bus. Then the next shot shows the car on a clear piece of road where the bus and petrol station have disappeared, but in the next shot the car swerves into the petrol station seen before.
