The Country Bears picture

Factual error: After Berry and one of the Country Bears get in the bus to find the others, they show a scene with the bus going along a road and Berry leans out the window. Here you can see the side of the bus is spick 'n' span clean. Then, later, the bus is as dirty as it was when it left the shack, very noticeable at the start of the carwash scene.

In America picture

Factual error: The movie takes place in New York City, yet a sign on the ice cream store where the mother works says "Take Away." I know they call it "take away" in Britain and Ireland, but in New York it is called "take out." The movie was filmed in New York and Ireland, so that shot was probably filmed in Ireland. (00:09:45)

Swept Away picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Amber Leighton and Giuseppe Esposito are stranded in the dinghy in the middle of the ocean, they show them from far off in the middle of the ocean, but when they move in for a close up you can clearly see the pier that the cameras are filming on, towards the bottom of the screen.

Dragonfly picture

Factual error: After Joe spends sometime underwater in the bus, he goes into the village and pulls a picture of his wife out of his pocket to show the village people. After getting that wet, a picture will not be intact, and it would pretty much be stuck together.

Stark Raving Mad picture

Revealing mistake: Near the end when Gregory is threatening to cut out Ricky's eye with the sharp cutting knife, look at the tip. It's rounded so it doesn't cut Ricky while it's pressed into his socket. An experienced man like Gregory would never leave it that dull.

Welcome To Collinwood picture

Continuity mistake: When Carmela comes to Pero's place and surprises the gang he greets her trying to act cool, leaning against the wall with his arm up. There's a brief shot of Carmela where we also see a bit of Pero who is not moving at all, then the camera is back on Pero and he raises his arm again. (00:55:15)

Factual error: When the soldiers are bombing the camp site they only use grenade launchers and the explosions are huge, far too large for one grenade.
