Continuity mistake: The sheriff wears his badge over his left side, which is traditional. As he is approaching on horse in the final scene of the movie it is still on his left side. Then for a few seconds in one shot his badge is on the right. (01:23:10)
Factual error: The film makes use of a real Broadway theater, the St. James, which is on West 44th St. When they leave the stage door, the actors are next to the Edison Hotel, which is on 47th St.
Character mistake: Nikki lost her insulin kit and needs insulin. Her mother suggests getting her a fruit juice, something sweet. Fruit juice contains a large amount of sugar which raises blood sugar levels very quickly. Therefore, people with diabetes are usually best to avoid drinking fruit juice. Her suggestion is absurd.
Audio problem: When Dawson and Amanda are at the Vandemere House, there is a nighttime scene where they are in the living room. Dawson is by the fire, and Amanda is on the couch. You can see Amanda's profile, and you hear her say something about turning on the radio last time they were there, and how she knew a song would come on. And you hear her laughing, but her lips and chin do not move. (01:18:00)
Continuity mistake: When they come over the mountain, Moses looks out at the Red Sea and sees nothing on the horizon. When they get across, they can see the mountains where they crossed very easily - the area on other side has mountains similar to the ones they crossed, which should have been visible when first approaching.
Character mistake: When the supply convoy is ambushed, Soto is instructed to get on the .50 caliber. However, the weapon on the gun ring is a .30 caliber M1919 machine gun, not a "Ma Deuce" .50 caliber.
Continuity mistake: When Anna Kendrick visits Jennifer Aniston in the hospital it shows a cake from different views. When the views change the candles light and relight. (01:14:30 - 01:15:25)
Suggested correction: The candles on the cake never light and relight. They are always lit from the point when Anna Kendrick (Nina) lights them. In one shot they look unlit due to the pillow behind them but if you look closely they are always lit.
Character mistake: At the hospital, Alice's husband says, "Here we are, in a major hospital, and they only have one elevator." In fact, there are two elevators, right beside each other. He actually looks at the other one before making the comment.
Suggested correction: He meant one elevator bank that actually worked. During the time they waited, none came.
Exactly. He says "they only have one elevator running", which is different than saying they only had one elevator.
Other mistake: The protagonist (along with other warriors at the beginning of the movie) sports a mohawk-like style with perfectly buzz-cut sides, and he keeps this impeccable, modern day 'do even when he ends up being a crack addict in China.
Continuity mistake: The glass that was dropped and shattered on the floor had a different pattern of fragments when Mitch [Robin Williams] knelt to clean it up. Most obvious was that the majority of shattered pieces settled toward Mitch's feet but were on the opposite side of the largest piece of glass during clean-up. There's also a "stupidity" in the way Mitch wiped up the glass - pressing down on the thin towel (apparently to entrap fragments), which is most likely to result in getting pierced. (00:01:40)
Factual error: Roland enters the train to go to the war, in 1914, with "Spanish Flu", but that was the (wrong) name given to the 1918 flu pandemic, which lasted from spring 1918 through spring or early summer 1919.
Continuity mistake: Sam stretches his arm across the table to set a drink about an arm's length away from Ernest, but the side view shows the drink in front of Ernest. Sam's chair is also closer and angled toward him. (00:29:08)
Character mistake: At the end of the movie, when Jaggu is listening to the sounds recorded by PK, the audio contains the question which she asked, "Tumhare planet pe sab aise hi hote, bade kan wale?" but does not contain the answer which PK gave, even though he was sitting right there. This seems to suggest that PK did not exist in the real world.
Continuity mistake: Rich is dangling a light bulb above his dad's head. When the camera shifts to a close-up of Rich, the light bulb is higher - almost across from his own face - but back to dangling above his dad's head with the next camera shift. This is independent of Rich's dad telling him to "hold the light steady." (00:06:23)
Character mistake: Mitch states that he is Pisces then goes on to state that his birthday is 25th of March. The Pisces period goes from 19th February to 20th of March. Mitch would actually be Aries. (00:35:00 - 00:37:00)
Revealing mistake: JR is in the weapon container of the crazy dealer, who passes him some of his goods. JR ends up holding in his right arm a MP5K and an M4A1, which combined are about 5 kilos, but then he passes him an M60 Machine Gun, which weighs over 10 kilos and that the relatively diminutive protagonist just handles throughout the scene gripping it with his left hand and making no effort whatsoever. (00:25:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When the little boy is lying in bed looking up at a hole in the wall you see a creepy hand move, the while time, if you look closely, there appears to be a human hand with human fingers to the right of it in the darkness.
Continuity mistake: During the scene of the first meeting between Gus and Ruby, Krysten Ritter's hair moves back and forth (behind or in front of her left shoulder) between shots multiple times (most obvious example: when he offers her a drink). (00:12:45 - 00:14:35)
Factual error: In a classroom scene, Mia takes her phone out and checks Instagram. It can be seen that she is on the network "Koodo" - a Canadian mobile operator. The movie takes place in Portland, but is filmed in Vancouver. (01:00:10)
Continuity mistake: After David hits Hugh he gets a wound on his mouth which gets smaller the next day.
