As he approaches the viewer we see people him around dressed in summer clothes and heat waves shimmer off the ground. Then in another cut the people on the sidewalk are now wearing long pants, heavy coats, and sweaters. It is also very windy. Then it cuts back to a summer shot again, and then for the last shots where Sonny discovers the Muse painting it's winter yet again.

The scene goes from a sunny day to a rainy day within a couple of minutes. Then Danny shows up on the pier where Sonny falls into the water, almost as if he were waiting there for him. Sonny left him on the beach and chased after Kira - there is no way Danny could have gotten to the pier, much less knew where he was going. (00:14:00)

Continuity mistake: When Sonny first sees the auditorium that eventually becomes Xanadu, the letters on the roof of the building that spell out auditorium are missing the A and R. Later when Kira takes him to the auditorium, the T is now missing. The following scene when Sonny and Danny arrive at the auditorium, the T is back. Finally, when Sonny and Kira are slow dancing in front of the auditorium before it magically transforms into the finished Xanadu exterior, the T is missing again. (00:16:30 - 01:03:10)
