Revealing mistake: There is a scene where Natalie Cook is on her surfboard riding the curl of a wave. It appears to be her head superimposed over someone else's body. The coloring and movement don't quite line up. (00:24:10)
Factual error: Before Cameron goes surfing the girls mention that there's a hurricane off the coast causing good waves. There are no hurricanes in the Pacific Ocean, only typhoons.
Revealing mistake: Whenever a car explodes in the movie, the car splits exactly in half, with each half having a straight edge. (01:21:25)
Continuity mistake: When the cute assassin comes up to start the bike race, he has no top on and his upper torso is bare, however in the next shot he has a red racing jersey on. (00:31:10)
Continuity mistake: When the Angels are at the races Natalie wiggles her head at a man and streches her arms out. Then it cuts to the man and behind him is a man on a bike jumping off a ramp and he is in mid-air. It then cuts to Natalie, then to the man again and the same man behind him jumping off the ramp, has only just began to jump. (00:30:25)
Continuity mistake: When Madison and the Angels are fighting on the rooftop, Madison throws Natalie (which you can tell is a stunt double) through some glass and the glass breaks. But when Natalie stands up the glass is still intact.
Continuity mistake: As the Thin Man is falling off the roof, the big electric E-letter, that was lying between the buildings is missing. (01:27:35 - 01:29:15)
Continuity mistake: When Bosley (as a crossing guard) is in the middle of the road, attempting to stop Ray Carter in his car, the waiting children disappear and reappear between shots. (01:10:40)
Continuity mistake: When the Angels are dancing to Hammertime, there is a box next to the TV and on top of that box is a smaller, silver box. When they jump over the sofa, that silver box has vanished. (00:13:30)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the Caulfield house scene, the shadows are pointing to the left. When the Angels enter the house, the bright shaft of sunlight coming through the hole in the curtains shows that the sun is now on the other side of the sky. (00:19:35 - 00:20:35)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, in the scene where Madison is flying through the air, when she lands she is wearing stiletto heels. However, when she runs up the back of the car to jump in it she is wearing flat shoes, almost like black tennis shoes.
Continuity mistake: When Alex and Natalie are chasing the man in the car, the headrest changes from black to red. (01:10:20 - 01:11:15)
Continuity mistake: When Dylan leaves the Angels, she returns the stuff that she has borrowed throughout the years. This includes a letter. Look carefully at the position of the writing on the letter. When Natalie and Alex find the box just after, the writing is upside down.
Continuity mistake: When the Angels are fighting the gunmen on top of the Los Angelos Theatre, several bullets shatter the sign lights. But when the bombs explode, there are no smashed lights. (01:27:15 - 01:30:50)
Other mistake: When rescuing Ray Carter in Mongolia, the Angels take a truck and drive it off a bridge. Problem is this is a modern U.S. Army truck - what's it doing in Mongolia? (00:06:55)
Revealing mistake: When you see the picture of Alex and her parents in front of the Eiffel Tower, her face has obviously just been added into the photo, which is shown because the lighting is different and she is wearing the same top as she was when she was in the office with the Angels, talking to Max. (00:43:55)
Continuity mistake: When Madison Lee is at the top of that dome after she shoots Carter, she says "You know, I never really got that whole partner thing" and she has nude lips, then she comes down and she is answering Alex's question "Why?" and she has red lip gloss on. (01:14:50)
Continuity mistake: When the Angels are going to talk to mother superior, they all have on some sort of lip gloss/stick, but when they are at the desks, they all have plain lips, then when they are leaving, they all have the same lip gloss they had when they were coming. (00:41:30)
Continuity mistake: When the bombs go off on top of the rooftop, Madison's telescope has disappeared.
Continuity mistake: After the fight with Seamus O'Grady, the Angels burst through the roof. Drew Barrymore grabs a short piece of wood to slide down the rope with. When she slides down the rope, the wood is longer. When they land, the wood is even longer. (00:56:35)
Answer: It's just a gruesome quirk. Every person has their own scent. He's savoring the moment of his kills.
