Also, when the bullet flies by, Flash's left hand is suddenly lowered.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Barry is ordering at the café, and a man with a beard and a man bun walks behind him. An instant cut later, he's already on the other end of the counter. Too fast. Also, the people standing or sitting behind the counter are not continuous between shots.

Continuity mistake: When Young Flash is dying, Old holds him in his arms, both bodies next to each other. After Dark Flash vanishes, from the opposite shot of Old Flash he is not holding anyone, just mimicking as if he were. You can see through the gap between his arm and body. A shot later Young Flash reappears.

Continuity mistake: When Old Barry shows Young Barry how the ring works, his grip changes between shots, with his thumb covering the hole or not.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Young Barry grabs the peanut butter and a spoon. Shot changes and now he has a broccoli in his hand, and the spoon is nowhere to be seen. After Old Barry eats the broccoli, we don't see Young's hand for a mere two seconds, and now the broccoli has vanished, and he holds the spoon instead.

Sacha

Audio problem: When Bruce chases the truck, either his voice doesn't match his mouth movements, or his mouth doesn't move at all.

More quotes from The Flash

Trivia: SPOILER: Nicolas Cage has a cameo in this film as an alternate version of Superman fighting a giant spider. This is a nod to the cancelled film "Superman Lives", which would have starred Cage and been directed by Tim Burton. The giant spider was part of the script at the insistence of producer Jon Peters, who finally got to make use of the idea in Wild Wild West.
