Deliberate mistake: Ryan was cooking venison (deer meat) in a pan over hot coals. He speared a piece with his knife and held it up for his young son, Billy, to take, which Billy did with his fingers. But did not get burned or show any signs that the meat was hot. Billy was even able to take a bite of the meat. The meat could not have cooled off that fast, even outdoors in jacket-wearing weather.

Continuity mistake: The phone in the foyer of the Simon house is a dial pad, but changes to a rotary more than halfway through.
Continuity mistake: In the ice cream and hot cocoa parlor, the jar of candy canes/sticks is closer to the gingerbread house than the cash register. In the rearview, the three objects are close together, with little space between them. Later, the reverse occurs: the three objects are close together in the rearview, but the jar is back to being closer to the gingerbread house in the front view. (00:13:30 - 00:15:45)
Continuity mistake: The pony is let into the small pen/corral, and there are two stacked bales of hay. The pony apparently knocks over one bale while eating, but the bales are suddenly stacked again. (The inconsistency persists into the next morning when the bales are side-by-side, or someone feeds the pony and rearranges the bales.) (00:02:57 - 00:04:04)
Continuity mistake: The remote-controlled truck heads towards a long, square-shaped wall (or landscape edging), about as high as the truck. As the truck gets closer, the wall becomes a partially buried long pipe. The truck more easily goes over the less-exposed round pipe. (00:07:38)
Visible crew/equipment: Emma Stone is let out of the carriage and runs to the left of screen across the leaves. The camera follows her. On the bottom of the frame, right side, the shadow of the camera is visible. This is the scene before the assistant shows her the frog.
Continuity mistake: Wingate pours two whisky glasses almost half-full. He pushes one glass across the table to Stubb, and the glass has less than half as much whisky in it. Wingate's glass - now closer to him - appears to have a little more than he poured into the glass. (00:22:15)
Continuity mistake: Near the start Sarah's shoulder restraint/seat belt is not on, but it suddenly is at one point, then off again. (00:03:19 - 00:06:02)
Continuity mistake: The desk lamp (which has an odd 2-3" "halo" around its perimeter) faces the screen (angled away from Sid). Suddenly, the lamp aims at Sid spinning in his chair. The lamp goes back to its original angle but varies a couple more times. (00:41:20)
Revealing mistake: More than once, when speaking to their robot doubles, it's obvious that both Charles and Elaine are actually just talking to nobody, given their mannerisms.
Continuity mistake: When Nick and Audrey arrive on the island, you see Nick holding Audrey's bag. But later on in their room, the photo shows Audrey holding the bag. (00:06:50 - 00:11:36)
Continuity mistake: The teacup handle (left side of the screen) rotates about 45°, even though no one touches the cup. (00:11:50 - 00:12:30)
Continuity mistake: In the rear view of the picture frames on the desk, the frames are closer together and aligned in a somewhat semi-circular pattern, but are spread out and staggered in the front view. At first, it appears a gap in time can possibly explain the rearranged frames (Rock is opening mail), but a rear view while he is still reading his mail shows the frames arranged like they originally were. (00:03:25 - 00:03:51)
Continuity mistake: The right side of Miller's [Ryan Phillippe] shirt collar is underneath his suit jacket, but in side views, the shirt collar extends above the jacket (i.e, is visible up his neck). (00:08:45 - 00:09:10)
Continuity mistake: Hera takes a sip of coffee, holding the Styrofoam cup in her right hand, but suddenly holds the cup - still at her mouth - in her left hand. (00:05:52)
Revealing mistake: The "horse" in the stall on the left has to be fake. With the exception of a barely visible half-blink, it does not move the slightest when the girl (while handling the reins) walks around its head, and a couple of girls are touching (pretending to be removing) the saddle. (00:29:25)
Continuity mistake: The creamer (or sugar bowl?) is in front of the tea pot's spout, but rear views of Adye show the creamer behind the tea pot and more to his left. Also, the way Adye is sitting sideways in the chair with his knees crossed, the creamer and tea pot should not even be visible from the rear angle. (00:40:50 - 00:41:12)
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: Sarah is sitting on the floor, covered with a blanket, and her feet, in black socks, are exposed. But in the next shots, they are covered and uncovered. (01:32:07)
