Revealing mistake: After a close-up of the drawing of one-armed Lord Nelson, Killick opens the lid of the steaming food for Jack in a close-up, just before Killick says, "Oh, here we go again. Scrape, scrape, screech, screech." Later, after Pullings takes command of Acheron, Jack tunes up his violin and Killick says, "Here we go again," in another close-up of the steaming food for Jack. Every detail of the food shown in both close-ups is exactly the same - obviously shot at the same time. (00:26:25 - 02:05:20)
Revealing mistake: When the camera shows the coffee cup in the cop's car, you can see the ignition is in the off position. (00:09:16)
Revealing mistake: When Gladys is serving B-Rad his food, you see her take his knife and fork and start to cut his steak. If you look closely she hardly even touches his steak with the knife but she makes the movements like she's cutting it. (00:15:59)
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Jalil and Smokey are talking on the race track, after Jalil wipes out in his race: if you look behind Jalil when Smokey leaves, you can see that the man sweeping the floor in the stands isn't actually sweeping at all - his broom is inches above the ground and he is simply sweeping air.
Revealing mistake: During the close-up of the gas canisters, the condensation is running upwards and "into" the valve. (01:31:10)
Revealing mistake: In the playing card target shooting sequence, Colin Farrell shoots an ace from the front but the card explodes from the rear. A squib was used to make the hole in the card, blowing the pieces outward instead of inward.
Revealing mistake: Near the end of the movie, when Johnny Depp's eyes are removed, he talks with the boy when he's against the wall. In several shots you can see Johnny Depp's eyes through the sunglasses. (01:33:55)
Revealing mistake: In the beginning of the movie, there is a scene where Buddy hits his head on the roof of the house as he's running out. You can obviously see a machine pushed the snow forward to land on his head. [May be easier to see in fullscreen version]. (00:12:40)
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Bruiser is reunited with his mom, you can obviously see that Bruiser's mom isn't a female. There is a shot where the dog's tail is lifted up, and you cannot see female genitalia.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Ray and Eva have sex for the first time, Eva is moving underneath the blanket and you can see that she has a pair of knickers on. The couple were supposed to have just finished having sex, why would she have knickers on?
Revealing mistake: In the scene with the press conference, as Chris is making her way to the front, journalists are holding cassette recorders out, as if seeking comment. The problem comes in that they are playing their recorders, but not recording, since the play buttons are pushed, but the red record buttons are not.
Revealing mistake: In the big scene at the children's show when David and Natalie are revealed kissing behind the curtain, many members of the audience are shown snapping picture after picture. One of the guys who is snapping away very rapidly has a "throw-away" one-time use camera. All one-time use cameras have wind wheels, meaning you can't take photos that quickly. (01:54:15)
Revealing mistake: Don't worry, Aunt Sally isn't really dead. She's still breathing in the shots where people come to look at her in her coffin.
Revealing mistake: During the major fight sequence in the Corporation, Shannon defends against two people each having the same problem. Their weapons are made of rubber. First a man shoves a gun at her. If you slow down the picture, you can see the gun flopping back and forth. It's the same way with a knife a few minutes later.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Edward Burns, Paul Giamatti and Brian Van Holt are at Big Al's house, Big Al is dead in his chair with his eyes open. As Edward Burns walks in front of him, Big Al blinks his eyes.
Revealing mistake: In the chase scene in the subway, Napster stops the subway train at the end of the tunnel to block the tunnel entrance. When you see the view on his laptop, the train station CLEARLY has a metal railing. There is no such railing throughout the rest of the scene. (Yes, it's likely while filming that railing was removed to enhance the scene then put back.) (01:27:45)
Revealing mistake: In the beginning of the movie when Al Pacino is supposed to be browsing the web you get a quick look at the address bar. It shows the URL to a local .html file instead of a website.
Revealing mistake: In the Fredericksburg battle scene, just after the Union officer orders the men to fall back, there is a 1 or 2 second close-up shot of a Confederate soldier taking a hit and falling back. As he does, a modern wristwatch is visible on his left wrist under the sleeve of his coat. (01:49:49)
Revealing mistake: When Kate, Chris and Lord Arnaud are in the hidden monastery tunnel, there is an explosion that shows them the way out. One of them crawls forward a little and puts his weight down on a big chunk of stone, which flips about like it weighs nothing. It's very obvious that it's a piece of styrofoam rock. A piece of stone that size would not move as freely as this one did from just leaning on it. (01:31:30)
Revealing mistake: When the b.j. instructor gives Frank the black eye, Frank has a bandage on his neck where the dart will strike.
