Continuity mistake: A doctor comes into a patient's room. The door swings inward to the right, and it has a heavy lock on it. When she leaves she closes the door. It swings inward, but to the left, and it has no heavy lock. (00:04:10 - 00:08:25)
Continuity mistake: When the girls are standing on the beach with the flares to guide in the German aircraft they are in two rows just a few metres apart. The view from the aircraft shows them much further apart, wide enough for the aircraft to land between them.
Continuity mistake: When Xianniang chokes Bòˆri Khan the position of her fingers changes between shots. Note how the index finger is separated from the rest in one shot, or close to the others a shot later. (00:12:29)
Continuity mistake: During the punch-monkey fight, Phil Betterman lies on the floor, exhausted, with his pendant resting on the floor, next to his ribcage. In the next shot it lies by his chest. Though he could have moved it between shots, the movie implies he is so tired he is lying motionless on the floor all the time.
Continuity mistake: The characters are on a tile floor that has one yellow tile visible among the black and white tiles. The next shot they're in a different spot on the floor with two yellow tiles visible. (01:22:10)
Continuity mistake: Tim is showing the Nanny's phone to the others. He plays the message from his parents, but does it tapping the bottom part of the touchscreen, while the media file and its "play" button as established in previous views, is at the top. Likewise, when he turns towards Jane asking "Do you want to be taken care of?" he is pointing at the bottom of the device, but in the reverse shot his finger is at the top. (00:43:30)
Continuity mistake: They travel without their helmets but when they are about to go underwater they magically appear.
Continuity mistake: David Spade just sat down with the prankster blind date. When she (kinda accurately) says "By the way, the age thing..." his hand in a blink goes from the table to the back of the couch. (00:02:20)
Continuity mistake: When the Butcher nearly hits Josh with the stolen police car, Josh's hands go from being up in the air, to down by his sides instantly between cuts.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the blue car is parked on the far right of the screen or at least one car length from the doctor's front door. Dr. Huggins says goodbye to the couple with the baby, who walk toward their car. After the burglars-to-be (turned robbers) are shown watching from a distance, the camera returns to the doctor's front door. The blue car is now near the center of the screen and it drives away toward the right of the screen - going past the place it had been parked.
Continuity mistake: The replay of Bart and Andrea's conversation at check-in are not verbatim - at times, only a word or two ("uh", "um", "just") is added, but other times there are parts that simply were not stated. Granted, Bart is practising and his additions are not meant to be a reflection of what was actually stated, but the things Andrea said were on tape and these do not always match. Bart did not ask, "Seven nights?" and Andrea didn't reply, "Yeah. A week, maybe longer. I'm not sure yet. So, you're new." (00:27:14 - 00:28:47)
Continuity mistake: In the locker room, an adjacent locker is closed then open with a yellow shirt hanging inside. Also, Ali takes a uniform jacket out of the locker Borz said she could use and holds it in front of her while they were talking. When they're almost done, Ali is turned around toward the locker and starts to remove a uniform jacket from her locker (as though this is the first time she was seeing it). (00:10:52 - 00:11:35)
Continuity mistake: A vast majority of the movie occurs over the course of a single day, so it would be expected that Becky's hair stayed about the same. However, there were frequent fluctuations in Becky's hair's length, how her bangs were arranged, and color (whether the blue streaks could be seen at all or how much at a given time, and if she had dark roots on the top of her head).
Continuity mistake: James lit the cigarette he gave Amanda, and she was shown taking one puff. Amanda tells part of the Empty Man story and the ashes on the tip of her cigarette are the same when she takes a second puff. After continuing the story for about two minutes, the length of the ashes still have not increased when Amanda is about to take the third puff. (00:37:21 - 00:39:53)
Continuity mistake: The amount/shape/size of the blood/cut on the bridge of Joey's nose varies, as does the obvious presence or absence of blood on the right side of his nose. (00:42:32 - 00:43:50)
Continuity mistake: Within a scene, Xanthe's disheveled hair often has a different number of curls/waves (especially on the sides) and the tightness/ looseness varies. Sometimes some strands of curls look like loops sticking out sideways; sometimes her hair looks almost straight on one side. The nature of the curls may vary with front and back views at times. In one scene, she had about three loose waves on the left side of her hair then suddenly it looked almost braided (many waves). (00:07:21 - 00:07:51)
Continuity mistake: On the train, Margaret's hair had a distinct uneven, broken part (the middle section running parallel to the first and third lines), but her part was linear when she got to work. Also, in the hallway, some hair was raised near the back of her head in front views but not in rear views. (00:04:15 - 00:04:40)
Continuity mistake: A large-screen TV was on the wall opposite the staircase when Carol and Victor reached the top. Part of a small high window (above the lamp) could be seen near the top of the TV screen. When the camera shifted to the opposite side of the room, the TV temporarily transformed into a large window with floor-length drapes. (00:48:02)
Continuity mistake: Bernice's bangs go back and forth between having a small section separated from the rest to not separated. Before she kisses Thomas, her bangs are separated, but combed together when they are done kissing. (00:21:56)
Continuity mistake: Running away from the guard after the burglary, Joey and Matt went down a fairly steep hill in the woods. After passing the hole, they walked up a small embankment to go toward home. The next morning, Joey is riding his bike down a steep hill (the one that was before the hole?) - so steep he has to get off his bike and push it. Halfway down, the camera shifts and Joey is suddenly on TOP of a small embankment, which appears to be the one he and Matt walked up the day before on their way home.
