Continuity mistake: Throughout the film, Nicole Kidman's hair changes color. In one particular dinner scene, her hair is everything from light blonde, to dark blonde, to red.
Continuity mistake: When Nick is instructed to leave hotel room #700 Chord verbally tells him to "go outside and turn right." but the on-screen arrow points left and we see Nick turn left. (00:29:39)
Other mistake: The clock on the kitchen wall was at 5:03 PM when Donna asked, "Where the heck can they be?" After an outside scene and returning to the kitchen, the clock was still at 5:03 when Donna said she couldn't find her camera. The battery in the clock could have been dead, but the display time was what could be expected around dinnertime (suggesting the clock was supposed to be in working condition). The "non-advancing" clocks seem to be a common occurrence in movies. (00:10:20 - 00:11:18)
Continuity mistake: During the car chase, the white jeep goes from damaged to undamaged between shots. (01:08:00 - 01:09:00)
Continuity mistake: While father and son are eating beignets, the passers-by behind them are not continuous between shots.
Other mistake: Elizabeth Banks' husband says it's 4 in the morning but there's daylight coming through the window.
Revealing mistake: As Glenn, Blake and Monica are being surrounded by zombies, as Monica asks "Fucking hell, how many more of these are there?", in the background you can see a zombie sitting astride his victim, flailing away with a hammer or hatchet. It is obvious that he is just swinging his arm back and forth, without connecting with anything. It looks as if he is dusting, not slaying someone. (01:23:50)
Factual error: In the opening heist, the gang of thieves wants to steal "The Medal of Zeus." A plate at the museum explains that in Ancient Greece, Olympic champions were awarded olive wreaths, up to the 88th Olympics in 424 BC, when a golden medal was given to the victor for the first time. This last bit about gold medals is just made up by the movie. But it also gets the timeline wrong; the 88th Olympics were in 428 BC. 424 BC is when the 89th games took place. (00:03:30)
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)
Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth Banks is getting out of Amos' car, when they get back from Bible study, from Banks' angle, you can see that his hand is on the knob on the steering wheel, whereas when the camera changes to Amos' angle, he isn't touching the knob. When the camera changes back to Banks, you can see his hand back on the knob. (00:48:10)
Factual error: The British Major is wearing a RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps) cap badge (incorrectly mounted). Really, not a British Army Corps known for their sniping skills.
Other mistake: During the driving scene in the woods with the Bronco, at least two shots are reused twice.
Continuity mistake: Juana's dad buys her a bottle of lime juice hoping she can save time that way, not having to squeeze it herself fresh. She passes the bottle back to him holding it by the middle section in one shot, and by the neck in the next. (00:06:00)
Revealing mistake: When the woman is tied to the bed, she is holding the ropes, and the rope isn't tight on her right hand; she can easily escape. (00:20:10)
Continuity mistake: When the guy is protecting his home and clearing the window with his shotgun you can see him breaking the glass on the bottom left window pane. In next shot it has the piece there again. (01:43:55)
Continuity mistake: When we first see the male volcano, he is an entire island with trees and forests. After many years have passed and sinks into the ocean, it can be seen the trees and forests have now gone. However, after he spews out of the ocean and is together with the female volcano, the male volcano suddenly has trees and forests around him again.
Continuity mistake: The protagonist just unveiled to his boss the "nest" ad, to which he suggests some not-so-minor changes. Luca Argentero is holding the drape in two very different ways between shots (first with bunched cloth sticking up top, then simply folded). (00:05:00)
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)
Continuity mistake: After the concert Jade's wristband is on the opposite wrist.
Factual error: The streak ended in '04, but at the beginning of the movie the seniors talking about their last game have letter jackets with the year '05 on the sleeve.
