A Kind of Murder picture

Continuity mistake: Walter tore out the newspaper article ("Body of Woman Found at Greenland Rest Stop") fairly neatly/evenly; it was relatively straight across the top, though a little jagged as could be expected. When Walter looked at the article some time later, the jagged top was worse and there was MORE space between it and the title. The right side also appeared to be more jagged than it was and include a little more of the article that was to its right before being torn off. (00:07:03 - 00:13:37)

Continuity mistake: During several of Eddie's jumps and most notably his final 90m attempt, the advertisement on the underside of Eddie's skis changes during the jump as the camera shot cuts back twice in a slow motion shot. The advertisement changes from "Fischer" to "fleuge.de", both of which are commonly seen on modern day jumping skis, not on skis of the time.
