Continuity mistake: In the part where Mike Church visits Gray Baker in the nursing home, he asks Mr. Baker what Roman Strauss said when asked if he really killed his wife. They show a flashback to when this happened and Roman bends over to tell Mr. Baker the answer. In the next shot Roman is standing up again, and then he is shown bending over again.

Continuity mistake: During the catapult launch for the SAM suppression mission, we can see two Shrike missiles on the right wing pylons. In the next shot, there is only one. At this point they still haven't reached the SAM site so they wouldn't need to fire one. A little later in another shot (right before they switch to active radar) we see two Shrikes again.
Continuity mistake: As Harris and Trudi are driving down the freeway, while having a shootout with other drivers, Harris hits a water container on the truck next to them and water sprays across his windscreen. In the next shot (which is wider) the windscreen is completely dry and remains that way for the rest of the scene.
Continuity mistake: When Celeste is watching her meltdown on TV, the dialogue is different from the actual live scene. Most notably, the taped version shown on the TV has Celeste saying "Lori, trust me," which is never said throughout the actual live scene.
Continuity mistake: In the final game, after halftime, Texas State goes for a fake punt. In one shot the ball is snapped to Jason Bateman who runs with it, and we see Mandylor begin running behind him. In the next shot, however, Bateman is still running, but Mandylor is going through the motions of a punt.
Continuity mistake: When Luis Cali is strapping Billy Tepper in the office, he is standing in front of the desk, while Billy is standing on the opposite side. Billy is facing him (while bending forward), so the strapping marks on Billy's back should be vertical, from head to butt, or at least diagonal. But later when the guys are cleaning the wounds, the marks are horizontal.
Suggested correction: We never see a close up of his hand or what direction it's facing. Purely speculation.
Continuity mistake: As Jessica pours cream into Henry's coffee, in one shot the level is right at the top of the cup. But in the next shot, the level has dropped.
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie, when the mob appraiser has verified the medallions are authentic, he is wearing two white gloves. He then asks if he can leave.

Continuity mistake: Janet goes back and forth from needing to wear glasses to seeing perfectly fine.
Suggested correction: Janet wasn't real. She was a character in Jack's delirious dream. In Jack's dream, he was saying the things Janet was doing was written by Federman, and sometimes he controlled the scene. Not to mention the fact that some people only need glasses to see certain things and can see without them in other incidents or she was wearing contacts.
