Continuity mistake: In the scene where John commits suicide by slitting his wrist, the soles of his shoes go from brand new and unmarked (quite clearly seen in a couple of close up shots) to scuffed and worn (also seen quite well in a couple of shots). (01:34:25)
Continuity mistake: When Carly locks herself in the truck, the owner throws to the ground the box holding the fan belt and a few other things, right beside the driver's side of the truck. In the next exterior shot, there is nothing on the ground. (00:50:50)
Revealing mistake: In the opening scene, the helmet closes on the guy's head. Inside there are spikes on all sides, but when his head falls to the ground the blood only comes out the bottom. The spikes should have also gone into the other side of his head and blood should have run down his face to the floor. (00:04:20)
Continuity mistake: When Candy is talking to her boss, he puts the money in the box and it changes position, then even disappears in one shot. (00:19:05)
Continuity mistake: When the Seagrass is attacked, the two girls are thrown through the cabin's rear windows, landing on the outside deck. When the boat's owner finds it, a camera circles the Seagrass from a distance and the rear windows are intact. When he and Elizabeth board the boat, the windows are again broken. (00:26:40 - 00:42:15)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Owen and Tom pull Dodger from the pool. We see that Dodger's hair is hanging down over her face. We then see Owen's reaction, and then we return to Dodger. This time we see that her hair is behind her ear. She didn't have the time and it wouldn't make sense that she changed the position of her hair.
Continuity mistake: The first time Tim walks towards his house as an adult, there is only a bench on the front porch. When he walks up the steps, there is a bicycle next to the door. (00:25:30)
Continuity mistake: During the scene right after Amy's boss drives away, you can see the street behind her, over her shoulder, is empty of vehicles. The camera zooms in as she flicks her cigarette away, and in the cut shot, suddenly a taxi appears over her shoulder, which was not there a second before. (00:37:30)
Continuity mistake: When Rachel begins to brake her car after seeing the deer on the road, as the shots keep changing the markings on the road also keep changing. In overhead shots the markings are a single broken yellow line, but in closeups of the wheels, the markings are solid double yellow lines. (00:30:40)
Continuity mistake: After Jonathan saves the baby from the car he goes to the funeral. In the funeral he starts talking to the baby's father and while they are talking you see a bald man with glasses pass by and glance at the baby and then in another scene you see the same bald guy pass again. (00:59:30)
Revealing mistake: Ryan Reynolds is wearing red-eye contacts. You can see the whites of his eyes around the red circle of the contacts in several scenes - most noticeably, right after the home movie he's watching down in the basement melts.
Suggested correction: Not a mistake. Ryan Reynolds actually had bloodshot eyes from being awake for nearly two days of filming. He stated it in an interview for the movie.
