Bruce Almighty
Bruce Almighty mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Bruce and God finish cleaning the floor, Bruce rests his hands on the top of the mop. The way his hands are positioned change from shot to shot - first one on the other, then one on top and one on the side. (01:14:55)

Continuity mistake: After the riot in the streets of Buffalo, Bruce meets up with God again in the Omni Presents building. They discuss how everything is going wrong. At the close-up shot of Bruce's face when he says, "What do I do now?" the frame is flipped. You can tell this because his hair is parted on the wrong side and his nose looks different. (01:15:20)

Macalou

Continuity mistake: In the few days of Bruce being almighty the moon changes from full (when he pulls it closer) to half (after his second visit to the Omni Present building), and then back to full (when we see Grace praying). (01:16:20 - 01:21:55)

Continuity mistake: The scene where Bruce is putting a picture in the photo album, the right side of the page is empty. But when the shot changes, the right page now contains pictures. (01:16:40)

Continuity mistake: After Bruce gets hit by the truck on the highway he is talking to God. The shot keeps switching from behind Bruce to facing him - in the shots behind his head a lock of hair is seen hanging over his forehead, though shots facing him show no hair. (01:23:50)

Continuity mistake: When Bruce returns home after getting God's powers and sings "What if god was one of us" in the door, his mouth is wide open as he sings 'home' but in the next shot where we see him from behind, his mouth is closed even though he's still holding the note.

Continuity mistake: The window crack in his driver's side window that happened during the fight with the gang, changes throughout the movie until he changes cars.

Continuity mistake: In the diner scene, the ketchup and mustard bottles behind Bruce move (left to right) almost every shot.

Continuity mistake: When Bruce is out to get his job back, while talking to the Channel 5 guy, a white car drives by and two police officers walk down the road. In the next shot they walk a little behind their earlier position.

Continuity mistake: After Bruce gets his car torn up and passes the sign truck, he says he wants to talk to God. When he hits the light pole and gets out of the car the word "hero" isn't on it anymore. It comes back later.

Continuity mistake: When Bruce wrecks the car into the light pole, the hood comes up in the middle, not on the side. Throughout the rest of the movie, the hood is messed up on the left side, not the middle, where it is supposed to be.

Continuity mistake: There are two scenes in the movie where Grace is noted to have donated blood in the dialogue, one near the beginning, and one, the final scene. The blood donation is a fairly important turning point for Bruce's rehabilitation. And yet, neither of Grace's bare inner arms in either scene show any iodine, bruises, holes, or perhaps the easiest to spot, any small bandage that would result from blood donation.

Continuity mistake: When Bruce is driving and says, "If that was God, then I'm Clint Eastwood," his rear window explodes and he immediately parks his car, scared. His hands on the steering wheel change position in two different shots.

Other mistake: Early in the film, Jim Carrey is watching TV during a sports segment. He is watching Channel 7, the station he works for. This clip they showed was of actual WKBW sports director John Murphy. The clip they showed was taken directly from a real WKBW newscast, with the authentic news set, and graphics. However, when they show a clip of Ch. 7 News later, there are completely different graphics, and a completely different news set, both made for the movie.

Trivia: The original number used for God in the movie was 776-2323, with no area code. After the film was released, people in different areas using that number received calls from people wanting to talk to God. The number was changed to 555-0123 for the DVD release.

More trivia for Bruce Almighty

Question: In the film they find Jimmy Hoffa's body, but who is he? I've never heard of him.

Answer: Hoffa was the powerful and controversial leader of the Teamsters Union from 1957 to 1971. Often alleged to have ties to organized crime, Hoffa was convicted of fraud and jury tampering in 1964 and served four years in prison before his sentence was commuted by President Nixon. In 1975, while trying to regain power in the union, Hoffa disappeared from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He was widely assumed to have been killed by the Mafia. His body was never found, and in 1983 he was declared legally dead. Many movies joke of this, because to this day, his body has not been recovered.
