Continuity mistake: The covered object (storage container or pet carrier?) is at an angle to and extends past Bob's desk, but is against the side of the desk when "Binky" the rabbit jumps onto it, as well as when Binky jumps from it onto the floor. (00:12:53 - 00:13:47)
Continuity mistake: The wall clock is at approximately 10:27 and advances to about 10:43, then returns to 10:27. During Keith's 5-second countdown for Michelle to go back on air, the clock jumps from 10:27 to 10:43. (00:01:50 - 00:03:07)
Continuity mistake: When Lenny is directing the choir, and really getting into it, the cigarette he has jumps from his mouth to his hand instantly.
Continuity mistake: The coat rack suddenly has a long-strapped tan purse/bag hanging alongside Juliet's coat. The purse soon disappears. (00:10:45 - 00:11:15)
Continuity mistake: A fork in Grace's square bowl props against the corner that is closest to her glass of wine. Grace holds a magazine with both hands. When Grace reaches for her wine, the bowl is at a different angle and the fork is gone. (00:08:00)
Continuity mistake: Before Francois writes on the whiteboard (dry-erase), the words at the top are not boxed-in (or underlined). After being boxed-in, the words are surrounded by more of an oval shape, then not highlighted at all - but the words on the third line are boxed-in, followed by being underlined 4 times, to not underlined, to being boxed-in again. (00:17:28 - 00:19:05)
Continuity mistake: The doctor has a faint mustache that is significantly darker/longer when he walks into the next hallway. (00:36:47)
Factual error: Early in the film, as the train pulls into the station, you can see 2 European Traffic Control Systems. A signalling system that was only installed in 2010.
Other mistake: Three fingertips are shown dropping to the floor, but there are sounds of four fingertips being broken off. (00:03:33)
Continuity mistake: Alberto and Alan are walking along a flat road between rows of houses. Alan looks up the road to see where his father "disappears to" and the road ahead is composed of arches along an upgrade. Alan continues running, but not very far, and suddenly there are grades in front and back of him, but the road is flat in the distant (somewhat aerial) view. After Alan runs a little further, the road behind him is arched again. The topography changes too fast and frequently. (00:06:00 - 00:06:50)
Deliberate mistake: When they're watching the footage of the tsunami hitting Cannon Beach, Sabrina turns the TV off as the shot pulls backwards. Suddenly, the glare on the TV appears out of nowhere.
Continuity mistake: Lucia's hair goes from disheveled to styled during the time it takes for Pia to say (over the phone), "You've gone almost a decade without a single, serious relationship, Lucia." Moreover, Lucia is already applying mascara. It takes longer than 5 seconds to style/fix one's long hair. (00:01:23)
Revealing mistake: There is a glimpse of a bench on the porch landing, roughly parallel to the steps where Jake is sitting with his back at about a 45° angle to the railing. Front views of Jake show the bench oddly angled upward as though it ascends like the steps. (00:38:10 - 00:39:12)
Continuity mistake: The cucumber half is facing in the opposite direction after the camera shift. The flesh is toward the right of the screen, then to the left. Also, the knife Margaret set near the corner of the table next to the cucumber half disappears; it should be below her right arm when she is reaching for her drink. (00:15:17)
Continuity mistake: Alice stands in the doorway on her way to the elevator. In the front view of her, a long fern leaf extends to the inner edge of the door frame. In the rear view, the fern leaf's long tip extends a couple of inches into the doorway. (00:02:40)
Continuity mistake: Before "The Bailiff" shocks Killjoy in the chair, the skin above Killjoy's left lip is visible, not painted solid white like the rest of his face. Going down the elevator, that section of his mouth is uniformly painted white. (00:20:55 - 00:22:32)
Continuity mistake: It is about 10:17 on the wall clock when the surprise birthday party guests shout "Happy Birthday." By the time the fourth guest hugs Lyra, the clock jumps to 10:55 (38 minutes within the 22 seconds of hugging). (00:02:13 - 00:02:35)
Factual error: In the famous "Rumble In The Jungle" fight between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali, the movie portrays Foreman as fighting out of the red corner and Ali fighting out of the blue corner. In the actual fight, Ali fought out of the red corner and Foreman was in the blue.
