Continuity mistake: In the scene where Serpico is in his apartment speaking to his girlfriend explaining how hard it's been to be an honest cop, he is drinking what appears to be a full glass of white wine. In the following shot of the both of them, Serpico sets up two unused glasses, opens a bottle of wine and pours it into the two glasses. His original full glass of wine is nowhere to be seen.
Larry: Leslie is a mindfucker.
Frank Serpico: You gotta be kidding. I didn't know that. What's a mindfucker?
Larry: Well, it's a chick who digs intellectual types and super bright guys.
Frank Serpico: Oh, she's very perceptive.
