Continuity mistake: When Edward meets Karl after leaving Specter he walks out of the forest to the road on leaves.

When the camera cuts to show down the road as they walk, only grass can be seen from the road to the edge of the screen. (00:40:50)

Continuity mistake: While robbing the bank, Norther pulls out a drawer which falls to the floor, you can see some notes on the counter in front of him. When it cuts from the other side of the counter and Norther sticking his head up the notes are gone. Then they reappear again. (01:21:45)

Continuity mistake: As Will sleeps beside his unconscious father in the hospital, some papers are visible on his lap. In the next shot, he wakes to tend to his suddenly conscious father, and the papers disappear.
