Continuity mistake: When the moderator tells Lydia "I couldn't help but notice you flinch just a little bit", Lydia has her right hand placed firmly on an armrest. When the shot cuts, her right hand is away from the arm rest. (00:09:15)
Continuity mistake: In Riri Williams' dorm room, the number of braids hanging over her shoulder changes frequently while Riri and Shuri are talking.
Factual error: Robert and Giselle have their belongings shipped to their new home at "18 Honey Bee Trail, Monroeville NY 10960." Monroeville is fictitious but the 10960 ZIP Code belongs to Nyack, New York. (00:00:04)
Character mistake: After the math club students, in unison, cited pi to 3.141592, Percy continued with "65839" - but only the "65" are correct. He should have said "65358..." before being cut off (or "65359" if he was rounding up the last "89793238"). Even though the movie is classified as a comedy, Percy was showing off, but he was wrong. Charlie, Math Club Advisor, also committed a mistake because he stopped Percy by saying "Percy, we got it. Good" (as though Percy was correct). (00:04:29)
Continuity mistake: As the "lone wolf" escapes on the bike, there's a fancy swooping camera shot which tracks him, cutting to a shot from the front just as he scythes between two dark cars and past a police car. In that quick shot a woman suddenly appears cowering by the police car who wasn't there before.
Continuity mistake: At the end, the French soldier tries to kill Paul in the wet mud. When they finish struggling and spot the pistol on the floor, the mud on Paul's face is now dried and caked on.
Continuity mistake: In the final battle, Lin Mi Sheng has her hair pinned up in a French twist. Her hair changes very frequently between shots and combat sequences. Sometimes it switches from a French twist to a slick chignon.
Continuity mistake: When Priscilla meets Elvis in Germany the position of the letters on the bed and of the papers scattered on the floor change positions between shots.
Factual error: A .22 shot would be 120-140 dB, muffled with a pillow down to 100-120 dB. Only one person heard the second shot? No one heard the third? Plus at the end there's no way a .22 could pass through a male chest cavity, and halfway into a female chest cavity - it's too low power.
Other mistake: When Jaeger is teaching Searcher how to throw. Through the scene Jaeger is handling Pando without gloves and Callisto is wearing fingerless gloves while also handling Pando. They should both have been shocked by the energy from the Pando. Jager is not immune, as he and Searcher are both shocked later by the Pando roots while using pickaxes to free the pando roots from the creature's heart later on in the movie.
Other mistake: The white horse looked very uncomfortable from what appeared to be an improperly placed bit (too far back and/or misaligned in its mouth). The handler should have noticed something was wrong and intervened. (00:20:30)
Factual error: One of the warriors tells a trainee they move like a sloth, more than once. Sloths are only found in the "new world", not native to Africa.
Other mistake: Birdy's father whipped/flogged the palm of her right hand 10 times with a rod (or stick) yet she was able to hold a pen and write in her book with no sign of injury, pain, or even discomfort later that night. (00:28:12 - 00:29:24)
Continuity mistake: RJ got into his van and drove parallel to the house, almost reaching the end (right side) of the house when he saw Pearl in front of him and stopped. When RJ got out of his van, it was parked near the beginning (left side) of the house that he had already driven past. Also, Pearl was standing in front of a fence, so it didn't make sense that RJ would be driving straight toward a dead-end. (00:57:07)
Character mistake: After Dimitri put Leena's wrist bands on for her (through the door slot), Leena said, "I want to do something nice for you; you can come in." Dimitri agreed, and Leena pulled up a chair to stand on (to be his height) and caress his face/ hair. When Leena bent in to kiss him, she banged his head against the wall several times, killing him. As a "Saarne Instituute" security member, Dimitri should know not to get sexually involved with or trust a patient, especially the most dangerous one. (00:10:29 - 00:11:29)
Character mistake: Laura is on the floor, screaming and exhibiting bizarre behaviour, so Dr. Rose Cotter goes to the wall phone to call for help. Instead of maintaining observation and continuing an evaluation of Laura, the psychiatrist faces the wall while making the call and even stares at the wall for a couple of seconds after hanging up. A patient's body language can/do help make a diagnosis, so the psychiatrist should keep her eyes on Laura. (00:11:20)
Other mistake: A SWAT team member and Chief Connelly had their heads tilted back and their eyes angled upward as far as possible when looking at the damaged 4th floor on the building across the street. Given the distance between the buildings and relative height of the 4th floor, they would not need to be looking straight up. When they were looking at the explosion on the 10th floor, they had their heads tilted back and eyes angled upward just like when they were looking at the 4th floor explosion. (01:10:03 - 01:20:54)
Continuity mistake: The cell phone photo that David snaps does not look like the one in the photo frame. Most obvious is the gap between Gabby and Angie's heads and the reduced size of the snowman's head behind them. Even if David snaps another photo, the snowman's head is the same size and distance behind them. (00:41:58)
Continuity mistake: Angel had her hands very close to (almost touching) the towel, but when the camera shifted to a front view of her, the towel was a couple feet away from her hands. Also, the peppers that were to the right of her hands were suddenly in front of them (moved with the celery to her left). (02:00:00)
Revealing mistake: This happens in the second ceremony when Wolf didn't press the button to shut off the lights to steal the golden dolphin because of the good comments. Few seconds later, the lights shut off, and you can see that the meteor on the top disappears at the time.
