Continuity mistake: Chatting poolside on the lounger with Lionel and Claire, Birdie Jay says "No masks, I can breathe again." Kathryn Hahn was adjusting her suit with her hands on her sides, and suddenly they are on top of the laptop. She then closes the bathing robe, which is open again when Hudson says "Look at this pool." And when Claire started adjusting the swimsuit, Kate Hudson's hand suddenly wasn't on the hat too. (00:00:28)
Continuity mistake: In their bathroom consultation, Blanc compliments Helen about the 'interesting stuff about Whiskey'; he is leaning on the sink, and then suddenly he's gesticulating with that same hand. (00:01:29)
Continuity mistake: Lionel discusses with his fellow tech people the various crazy ideas the boss faxes in the middle of the night. There are several fax sheets rolled on the table throughout the scene. When he mentions the "Crypto Kids app", some sheets have been straightened out and lie on top of the rolled ones, but when the delivery person calls, there's nothing on top of the paper roll. (00:02:15)
Continuity mistake: The very first shot with Kate Hudson ends with her shouting for her assistant Peg. Look at the position of her fingers on the glass, very close to the rim. She is still shouting in the reverse angle but her grip on the glass changed. (00:03:05)
Continuity mistake: When Birdie's assistant Peg brings in the box, her hands are at the bottom of it and immediately on it in the next shot. (00:03:15)
Continuity mistake: When Peg calls Birdie out on the use of the word "jewy", she leans against the puzzle, holding the phone too. Her friend complains about the "wokeness" of everything, and Peg is gone entirely. (00:03:45)
Continuity mistake: An odd creepy guy ("Vampire in a tuxedo" according to the credits) gives Birdie an approving nod when she protests against the "woke" people that don't let her racial slur slide. She says "Love you, yes!" pointing at him, with the elbow of the other arm fully lying on the lap of the girl on the couch. Next shot and her pose changed entirely, no physical contact with other guests. (00:03:50)
Continuity mistake: When Claire calls Lionel at 14:07 asking him about the puzzle box, the phone in close-up is in a spot far away from any edge, while in the wider angle it's practically on the edge. (00:04:00)
Continuity mistake: When the Disruptors flick the final switch, Lionel's finger in the split screen shot comes from the right side of the frame, where the "7" is. In the shot of his desk though he is positioned on the opposite side of the box. (00:09:10)
Continuity mistake: The friends crack the final puzzle of the box and it open. Look at Lionel's desk when that happens; the shadows and the distance between the box itself and the crazy fax papers ("Nootrodic Nasal Spray"?) change between shots. (00:09:15)
Continuity mistake: In her introduction, Janelle Monáe is tapping nervously the card on her lap, holding it in a different way between close-up and wider angle. (00:10:30)
Continuity mistake: Benoit Blanc tells his partner to get the door and unconvincingly says he is not in the bath, his left-hand changes blatantly position between shots. Throughout the whole scene in fact you can see Daniel Craig's hand by the second laptop in the side views but not on the close-up of the remote call. (00:12:25)
Continuity mistake: During the scene on the pier that sets the movie in Greece, in most close-ups on Benoit Blanc you can see lines tied to both the bitt and the metal ring behind him, while the other angles show no cable or ropes secured and nothing on that side of the pier. (00:13:25)
Continuity mistake: On the pier, Kate Hudson calls Blanc "Stranger danger." The Greek porter Nikos makes a comment about it, hands on a suitcase, and Lionel is carrying a bag next to him. Brief reaction shot to a masked Daniel Craig that denies that, and not only Nikos' hands switched position and are on a different suitcase (which could have happened even if it's not what the posture implies), but Lionel is also bringing again the same bag. (00:14:25)
Continuity mistake: Hearing his name, Claire asks Benoit Blanc if he's THAT famous detective, the one who solved "the thing and the thing." In the shot where Blanc admits to indeed having solved the thing and the thing, you can see that she pulls up the facemask, but her hand has yet to come up and touch it in the next shot. (00:14:50)
Continuity mistake: When Batista arrives on the pier, he asks "Who's that?" about Blanc. In the next shot Birdie is facing the opposite way and a passing car in the background disappears. (00:15:30)
Continuity mistake: The Efficient Man portrayed by Ethan Hawke tells the guests to remove the masks. Birdie Jay removed it already in the wider angle of the pier, but she removes it again in the next shot when he shoots her in the mouth. (00:16:20)
Continuity mistake: When Birdie hugs Miles on the beach, his shades are in a different position by the guitar headstock between shots. (00:19:50)
Continuity mistake: Duke mentions Benoit Blanc 's presence to Miles for the first time on the beach, and at the same time his girlfriend is walking away from the eccentric billionaire. The next shot does not properly follow; Dave Bautista 's hand is back on top of his hat, Whiskey and Ed Norton 's arn positions don't match. (00:20:45)
Continuity mistake: Speaking to Miles for the first time, Blanc foes for a handshake but Miles' sunglasses switch hands. And when Blanc sidesteps to let him face directly Andi, he lowers his arms, but they are up again in the next shot. And then, Edward Norton's right hand gives a thumbs up in the reaction shot, with the same arm he just lowered before. (00:20:55)
