Character mistake: When Frank opens the present in his office and finds the picture frame from his brother inside, he reads what is supposedly written on the frame out loud: "To Frank, the best brother a guy ever had. Merry Christmas." However, instead of Merry Christmas, it says Love, James.

Continuity mistake: When Frank sees what he thinks is the Ghost of Christmas Future in the elevator, he flips out and accidentally clocks Grace in the jaw. She puts her right hand to her face, but in the next shot she's holding her left hand up.
Lou: I don't mind you hitting me, Frank, but take it easy on the Bacardi.
Trivia: Bill Murray slipping out of the restaurant wasn't scripted, he just slipped on wet steps.
Question: When Frank travels into the future and sees an older Calvin sitting on the floor, Calvin glances up. Did Calvin see Frank?

Answer: It's a vision, not reality, so one could interpret it either way. I think it's more powerful if Calvin is seeing Frank, silently accusing him of being (at least partially) responsible for his (Calvin's) situation.
