Corrected entry: Bruce Willis's clothes are inconsistent. He keeps on wearing the grey shirt (which he was wearing when he was shot), but manages to acquire a tie, suitcoat and overcoat after he is dead.
Corrected entry: When Vincent shoots himself in the bathroom, you hear the splatter, but you can still see part of the bathroom door, and no blood is visible. (00:10:10)
Correction: I checked it frame-by-frame, the camera pans away from the bathroom, a gunshot is heard, and we never see the bathroom again.
Corrected entry: One of the rules in the movie is "Dead people don't know they are dead". But it's obvious that both the murdered girl (she gives Cole a video where she can see how is she poisoned in order to incriminate her mother) and his grandmother (she tells him an answer to his mother) knows it. Both cases break the rule.
Correction: He actually says that dead people don't always know they're dead.
Corrected entry: When Malcolm arrives for dinner at the restaurant with his wife he says: "I thought you meant the other Italian restaurant I asked you to marry me at". When, and why, could she have said this to him? She can't see him because he's dead, so why would she be talking about where she wanted to go for their anniversary meal.
Correction: We don't know where Malcolm gets his information. No one really hired him to meet with Cole either, and no one told him when Cole had been sent to the hospital, but he knew anyway. But since the dead does not know they are dead there must be some outside force that work on Malcolm's mind, giving him such information, so that the illusion he has about still being alive is maintained.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Cole tells his mother his secret, all the cars stuck in traffic have Pennsylvania inspection stickers on the lower part of the windshield. However, the car that Cole and his mother are in does not. (01:31:25)
Correction: It is not unrealistic to believe that the car was simply not inspected.
Speaking as someone who lives in a state that requires stickers such as these, it is practically unheard of to see a vehicle without inspection stickers of any kind. Even brand new vehicles sold on lots in Pennsylvania are inspected and have the stickers placed on their windshields before anyone even buys them. Plenty of people drive with expired inspection stickers (Pennsylvania requires a vehicle inspection every year), but it is exceedingly rare to see a Pennsylvania vehicle with no inspection sticker at all. Driving without inspection stickers would risk getting pulled over by the police every single time you drive in the state. While it is technically not impossible for a Pennsylvania resident to have a car without inspection stickers, it is so uncommon that its omission here is definitely an oversight by the filmmakers and still should count as a mistake. It would be similar as having a vehicle with no license plate at all; while technically not impossible doing so would be an act of incredible stupidity that would make the character driving the car seem ridiculously unrealistic were it not explained by the plot.
Corrected entry: I enjoy the scene with 'Stuttering Stanley', but how does Cole know about this? There is nothing else in the movie about Cole having knowledge of living people's childhoods, or other secrets. He sees dead people, that's all.
Correction: Later it shows him talking to a ghost that had been burned. Stanley then mentions of a fire that happened when he went to school there. It is safe to assume that this ghost told Cole about it when she was trying to get his help earlier.
Correction: If you watch the DVD it is explained that Bruce's character wears clothes that he had been wearing on the day that he died (not necessarily the precise moment he died), so that is where he got the tie and coat etc. from.
