Revealing mistake: In the balcony in Havana, when Sonny and Isabella are talking about her old house, the shoreline view is not nearly similar to the real "Malecon" in Vedado, Havana.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Shen is seen walking down the road as he tries to hitch a lift, you can see all the cars are driving on the right side of the road. However, in some background shots you can see the traffic moving on the left side of the road as it is supposed to in New Zealand where the film is shot.
Revealing mistake: When Vanessa comes out of the girls shower and walks to her locker, in the back shot you can quite clearly make out the strapless bra she is wearing under her towel. Also, when she lifts her arm up you can briefly see the black material under the towel.
Revealing mistake: When Neil is teaching Yoga exercises to the elves a first close up shot of one of the elves (the Asian looking one) shows he doesn't have pointed ears like the rest in the group.
Revealing mistake: In the opening scene as the characters play a game of hurling, a farm is visible in the background, at the foot of the mountain. The farm buildings near the farmhouse are much too large and modern to have been constructed in 1920's Ireland.
Revealing mistake: When Solomon finishes negotiating with the diamond dealer and steps out of the car, it drives away. Presumably the shot was to appear that it pulls away and drives off into traffic, but the car doesn't clear the camera before it stops. The car just pulls ahead about 30 feet and stops again.
Revealing mistake: Kirsten Dunst's contact lenses can be seen multiple times during close-ups.
Revealing mistake: Anytime we see the back of someone's head while they are talking, their mouths aren't moving.
Revealing mistake: At the end of the movie when the cheer squad is shooting the video with Rhianna, she is wearing a blue shirt. The shots cut back and forth between the reality of them shooting the video in front of a blue screen and what the video looks like with the effects. If Rhianna is wearing a blue shirt and is filming this on a blue screen, she would appear to have no body when no one is behind her.
Revealing mistake: There are several scenes (most notably when the group is ambushed at Mt. Suribachi) where the bayonets attached to the guns bend back and forth showing them to actually be rubber instead of metal.
Revealing mistake: Kate's birthday is July 10th. When she is (with long hair) outside on the patio with Alex, you can see their breath as they talk, and there is not a living thing in the back yard, it's all dormant (as in late fall/winter).
Revealing mistake: When Zoe is getting killed she is spitting out blood from her mouth. Everything is ok with that, except she spits some of the blood on the camera right before she is thrown over the balcony.
Revealing mistake: When Lee is being lifted into the incinerator, he moves his head, despite being dead.
Revealing mistake: When the canoe is speeding down the hill, there's one scene where you can see there's already a groove in the snow from where they did a previous take.
Revealing mistake: Near the end of the movie, when Starla is flung about by Grant, in some shots it is obvious that Starla is replaced with a stunt double, as there is a noticeable hair change in some of these shots.
Revealing mistake: As Clouseau falls down the stairs when pretending to read the newspaper, you can see his legs flick up after he has supposedly fallen beyond sight - indicating he fell onto a mattress just below the camera's view.
Revealing mistake: Jesus is born without an umbilical cord.
Revealing mistake: When everyone first gets off the bus outside the hotel, Williams shakes hands with Margaret. If you look at his wrist you can see his real skin, not the prosthetic which is supposed to go nearly up to his elbow. It can be seen a little better in the next shot as well.
Revealing mistake: When Lazarus is performing in the bar, Rae takes a drink from an empty beer bottle twice.
Revealing mistake: When the Quickstop burns down in the beginning, you can easily tell the fire has been added with computer graphics, as it appears very flat, and some even has a slight blue haze around the outside, where a little bit of the blue screen "bled through."
