Corrected entry: When Walter is delivering the skateboard to Cheryl's house, the door is answered by a guy who Walter assumes is her husband. Later we find out that his assumption was incorrect - that guy was just fixing her refrigerator. Except the repairman called out "Cheryl", then he yelled "Honey." First, since when do refrigerator repairmen answer the door to their customer's house? And even if they did, they'd never call her "Honey."

Correction: That wasn't a repairman. It was Cheryl's ex-husband, Phil, who had just come over to fix the fridge for her.

Correction: He called out honey because he could sense Walter fancied her, so he made it look like he was back in her life.

Corrected entry: In a scene early in the movie Ben Stiller is shown from behind showing a large bald spot on his head. This bald spot is seen twice in the scene. But all the other scenes where he is seen from behind there is no bald spot, he has a full head of hair.

Correction: His bald spot appears as he's imagining aging rapidly and turning into a small baby man. His hair thins as wrinkles appear of his face. This isn't a mistake, its the progression of his aging.

Continuity mistake: When Walter teaches Rich how to use the skateboard, the pavement is on the sunny side in the close-up angles, but in the shadows in the wide angles.

More quotes from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Question: How is it possible that picture 25 was in Walter's wallet the whole time, when the picture is of him later in the movie after he had received the wallet?

Answer: The picture was not taken afterwards - that spot is just a favorite Mitty likes to use to review pictures. That is why Sean O'Connell was quizzing Mitty's mum about his life/work habits, so he could take a picture of his friend for the last issue.
