Continuity mistake: Nina returns home and starts looking through some mail whilst DeeDee walks into the room and is startled by seeing her. When DeeDee says "You're home", Nina picks up the mail after temporarily putting it down and her left hand is shown holding the envelopes by the left hand side. When the shot cuts, her left hand is suddenly touching the bottom of the envelopes. (00:03:55)
Visible crew/equipment: Whilst the group of Southeast Asian men are walking through the hair salon, there is a shot that starts with a male hairdresser wafting a blanket, that pans over to the group of men and then the camera rotates around the man holding a little girl. Immediately after the camera passes the man and girl, the camera very briefly holds on another man waving to an employee. Just as this happens, the reflection of the cameraman can be seen in the mirror to the left of the shot. (00:31:30)
Factual error: Set in 1955, Tom Holman enters a construction site with an orange warning sign. Prior to 1971, construction signs were yellow.

Plot hole: After leaving the hospital, Racine ducks into a pachinko parlor. In there, he gets a young girl to help him find a telephone and a taxi. The problem is, she is about 10 years old, and you have to be 18 to even enter a pachinko hall. The attendants we can see in charge would have evicted her within minutes.
