Deliberate mistake: When Deckard wakes up in Wallace Corporation, there is a wide shot of the platform he is on. All four corners of the platform are empty in the wide shot. Deckard then looks at Wallace's visual aids as they float away, and then realises Wallace is standing in the corner directly facing where he is sitting, speaking to him. This corner was empty in the wide shot, with no sign of Wallace. Wallace could not have entered in between shots because Deckard would have seen him approaching or at the very least, heard his footsteps. This was likely done intentionally as to not give Wallace's reveal away too early. (02:08:55)

Continuity mistake: When Luv returns to the sinking car to retrieve Deckard, and K enters and grabs Luv by the neck, Deckard's hair is wet, but visibly smooth, however, in the next shot, his hair is suddenly ruffled. (02:24:10)
Rick Deckard: I had your job once - I was good at it.
K: Things were simpler then.
Trivia: Sir Roger Deakins won the Oscar for Best Cinematography for his work on the film. It was Deakins' first Oscar after 13 previous nominations.
Question: Is K meant to be the boy that supposed lived (while the girl survived)? Or did the girl get passed off as a boy? Why does K have her memories? What is the back story to the doctor? Why is she in a containment area?

Answer: The birth records were purposefully mixed to hide Ana Stelline (Rachael and Deckard's daughter). She was passed off as a boy and raised in the orphanage. K was given her memories because she secretly was giving replicants pleasant memories of her own. She is in a containment area because it is said she has an autoimmune disorder, but this is likely a ploy by the freedom fighters to keep anyone from examining her and discovering that she is at least part replicant.
