Continuity mistake: When they jump on the train at the end of the film, the train tail light is on the right hand side and its also a light that didn't come in until the 80's and in the long shot of the train speeding along the tail light is on the left hand side.
Continuity mistake: When the security guard opens the back of his vehicle the gun is pointing to the left, but when the shot changes as the security guard reaches in for the hat, the gun is pointing to the right. Then as he turns to put the hat on Tyler, the gun is again pointing to the left.
Factual error: In golf scene, Kevin Spacey is supposed to be playing golf in St. Andrews. The intensity of sun and the surrounding fauna suggests they are actually playing on a course in the mid latitudes of the US. (00:11:30)
Other mistake: Blake jumped through the window, shattering the glass and propelling many fragments through the air and towards/onto Edgar and Zoe, but no-one got cut. (00:34:10)
Factual error: When they land back at the airport you see the door open and hear the sound of the engines. However at the rear of the left engine you see the engine cover (red flag moving in the wind) still in place. The engine cover still on while the engine is running could cause serious damage or it would be blown out. It would be removed during preparation checks.
Continuity mistake: After RVD is shot by the lone motorcyclist he goes home to take care of his wound. You can see that he was shot in his LEFT shoulder. When he goes to the bathroom and takes off his shirt, the wound is on his RIGHT shoulder. After bandaging up his wound, he finds his wife bound and gagged and his daughter has been taken. He goes out to the garage and you can see his LEFT shoulder is now bandaged. (00:58:50 - 01:01:55)
Other mistake: The hospice male nurse Juan Is credited as Julio in the credits at the end.
Factual error: The light switch in the dressing rooms, when John is getting ready to exit, shows a new type switch that was only brought out after 2005. The switch is by the clothes rail.
Other mistake: In the middle of the movie, there is a scene with the two moms on the couch talking. One mom (red hair lady) wears a necklace with a charm that says "love." There are two camera shots in this scene, one looking directly at her, and another from over her left shoulder. Depending on the shot, the 'love' charm is either visible or tucked under the top of her shirt. This swaps back and forth.
Continuity mistake: When Stern is cutting Gutterman loose and they're at Rachel's desk, Gutterman is right behind Stern, close enough to touch the desk and sets his hat on it. The shot changes and Gutterman is now further away, not even in arm's reach of the desk.
Factual error: If there was that much of a famine in the pack, the Omega wolves would surely have already died of hunger.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, when Robert has been resurrected as a tricycle, the bell and ribbon keep moving back and forth from the right handle bar to the left one.
Factual error: As Ruben gets from his colleague the newspaper with the headline about the suppression of the 'douane', you can read just by his head "Mardi 17." It's 1986 as stated, and the date the news is referring to can only be February 17, when the Single European Act was signed, producing the headline shown. But it was not a Mardi (Tuesday), but a Lundi (Monday). (00:01:50)
Other mistake: The protagonist is still a kid, and she is telling in voiceover about all the things she vows to renounce hoping to have her dad back in health. On the porch she knocks repeatedly on the wood, but the magical numbers don't appear. (00:05:00)
Continuity mistake: During the scene on the beach, the shadows lengthen and shorten dramatically from shot to shot.
