Revealing mistake: When Nicky is hit in the head by an officer, the baton obviously bends off his head like rubber.
Revealing mistake: When Solina is crawling on the wall, whenever she turns her head, her long hair turns with it, instead of falling freely downward toward the floor. (01:05:20)
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Violet sings for Kevin for the first time, he starts to switch the lights off. Notice when he has turned off the lamps, the room is still very bright, but when he blows the candle out, the room is suddenly totally dark. That single candle could not possibly have lit-up the room and the characters the way it did, after the electrical light was switched off. (00:58:20)
Revealing mistake: At the airport when Jack says 'tow it', there is an extra waiting for his mark to walk outside seen in the reflection of the doors.
Revealing mistake: When the Abbe du Coulmier comes running around the corner towards Marquis' cell during the fire scene, you can see him smash his head against the wall.
Revealing mistake: When Mel Gibson is in Marisa Tomei's apartment he goes to the WC to talk with his "little friend". He just got out of her bed and he is supposed to be naked. While sitting on the toilet he is filmed from the waist up but you can clearly see on the left corner of the screen that he is wearing a dark piece of underwear.
Revealing mistake: Throughout the entire film, whenever a character performs a high flying martial arts move, you can see that they are holding on to their wires.
Revealing mistake: In one of Renato's fantasies about Malena she comes into his dark bedroom. The light is falling into the room from the hallway, but when she walks through the room she casts a second shadow created by a stage light. (00:16:20)
Revealing mistake: When Alejandra comes to John's room the first time you see distinct t-shirt marks on John's upper body, his arms as tanned as his neck and face. This in spite of the fact that he wears long-sleeved shirts throughout the movie (except, of course, during his nightly encounters with Alejandra). (00:49:30)
Revealing mistake: When Elliot appears in the fountain, after the sensitive guy segment, water is already up his trouser legs. (00:44:50)
Revealing mistake: In the shot where Ben Stiller and Jenna Elfman are in the hallway kissing goodbye, it's obvious that Ben Stiller is standing on something to make him the same height as Jenna Elfman, who is much taller than him in real life.
Revealing mistake: During the war flashback there is a newspaper photograph with Captain Junuh on the shoulders of Savannah's young men. When the camera zooms into his face you can see it's someone else's, only in close-up it switches to Matt Damon's. This is surprising because in all other newspaper pictures Matt Damon is nicely worked in. (00:06:15)
Revealing mistake: In the bowling alley scene where Jeremy and Nick are discussing the red-haired woman, you can see Nick shaking from laughter and even hear it. It is easier to spot if you have watched the outtakes. Nick simply could not contain his laughter during this scene and so they just shot him from behind and left it in. This happens in another scene as well, when they first enter Jeremy's "manly" den. These two were just having too much fun filming this movie. Watch the outtakes.
Revealing mistake: When the group of journalists is heading to Vukovar, they are stopped and go to hide because fighters are bombing the town. At one point, the camera moves and the airplane moves with it.

Revealing mistake: When Trevor is stabbed, we can see the knife isn't in him, it's just pressed against his shirt.
