Continuity mistake: When Tom recalls the incident with Bags, in the wide shot he puts the pen into his left hand that also holds the magazine and then reaches for the ball. In the next close-up, still reaching for the ball, the pen is now in his mouth, not his hand. (01:02:45)
Continuity mistake: At 'Caffe [sic] America', Wendy and Tom are dancing. Tom's holding a Bud Light and the label is at his fingertips, but in the next shot his hand is lower and the label is under his palm. (01:09:50)
Continuity mistake: While walking along the foot bridge with artists, Sarah walks into an artist, trips and falls. In the first shot of her actually falling, she is between the artist on her left and the easel, as she somersaults between them. Yet in the next shot, different camera angle, her face is where her feet landed in the previous shot and the artist is now behind her, to her right. (00:58:45)
Continuity mistake: When Tom and Sarah crash through to the room next door at the Pensione, their room is seen beyond the rubble. Sarah's duct taped handbag is on the chair and her red suitcase is lying on the floor next to the chair. However just before they crash through the wall, while fooling around, Sarah's coat is on top of her handbag and her red suitcase is sitting upright. (00:52:00)
Continuity mistake: When the blue car pushes Tom and Sarah's compact down the cliff, Sarah has her arms around Tom's neck as they watch in horror. After being given the finger by the woman, in the next shot of Tom and Sarah, they are covered in snow, front and back. This was edited from a longer sequence in which they dive out of the way of the blue car, thus explaining the snow all over them. (00:47:40)
Continuity mistake: When Tom and Sarah arrive at the Hotel DuReve, they speak with Henri Margeaux, who's blazer is unbuttoned. He then reaches for the gift bottle of cognac from Peter, and in that close-up we see the blazer buttoned. (00:37:05)
Continuity mistake: During the touch football game, when Willie sacks Tom, he is on Tom's right side clutching him and bringing Tom down. However in the next shot as Tom hits the grass, Willie is on Tom's left side letting go of Tom's left leg. (00:17:05)
Revealing mistake: Tom recalls meeting Sarah on the beach when the football slammed into her. In the shot of the football hitting her, we see the very soft sponge-like football hitting her blue cap and bouncing off. It obviously was not the football shown that Tom threw. (00:06:35)
Continuity mistake: Tom and Sarah drive up to the main gate and Yuan looks at the monitor in the kitchen. On the monitor it shows 'main gate camera 1', for the camera situated above the gate. However when Tom and Peter drive up, the monitor in the kitchen shows that the camera above the gate is 'main gate camera 2' and the camera on the intercom box next to the car is 'main gate camera 1'. (00:03:20 - 01:25:55)
Continuity mistake: When Sarah approaches the server that the ashtray is on, the ashtray and other items are positioned differently in this shot, than when she picks up the ashtray in the close-up. (01:17:20)
Continuity mistake: Tom recalls the incident with Bags and in the first shot the tennis ball is on his desk, but in the next shot the tennis ball is on the floor near Bags. Tom did not put it there between shots. (01:02:20)
Continuity mistake: At Hotel DuReve, while Sarah says goodbye to her mom on the telephone, seen leaning against the windowsill is a tall lean wood stick, and the small white lace pillow is upright on the bed. In the next shot the pillow is lying flat on the bed. Then when Tom tries to force the plug into the outlet, in the front shots that windowsill is seen behind him and the stick is not there. (00:39:50)
Continuity mistake: Waiting to go together into the smelly lavatory on the airplane, Tom and Sarah stand outside the door. In the close-up Tom's red sweatshirt is off his right shoulder, but in the next shot it's back on his shoulder. Her hair is different in both shots too. (00:31:20)
Revealing mistake: Peter and Sarah are in the car on their way to meet with Henri at his estate. In the car Peter pours champagne into a flute for Sarah, but the champagne has no bubbles because it is really apple juice or some other non-bubbly drink. (01:07:55)
Audio problem: When Tom and Sarah stomp out of Hotel Gianna, he yells, "Hooker!" and she yells, "Murderer!" When he yells, his lips are not saying the word hooker. (01:05:20)
Revealing mistake: Just after Tom asks Sarah, "Did you hear that?" and he thinks it's a message from God, there is a crowd behind them, staring at them and the camera lens. (00:56:40)
Continuity mistake: When Sarah and Tom are sightseeing in Italy, Tom is harassed by the pigeons. During this scene from one shot to the next, as Sarah stands there, the people and buildings behind them are closer, then further away, then closer again. (00:55:50)
Continuity mistake: When the woman shows Tom and Sarah their room at the Pensione, the woman's top sweater button is closed. In her close-up it's open, but then it's closed again. (00:51:05)
Continuity mistake: At the Hotel DuReve, when they first enter their room, Tom jumps onto and off the bed. Doing so, he causes the small white lace pillow to slip down on the bed, but when she jumps onto the bed after him, in the close-up the lace pillow is upright again. Then it's down in the next shot and upright in the next. The brown wood chair changes position in these shots too. (00:38:10)
Continuity mistake: When Sarah and Tom are speaking with Henri at the Hotel DuReve and he hands them the gift bottle of cognac from Peter. In the next few shots her pink scarf and his left red draw string change positions in every camera angle. (00:37:30)
