Continuity mistake: When Reuben and Leland go to the roof and Leland prepares to base jump, after he takes his jacket off, the parachute straps across his chest are undone. In the next shot they are properly fastened.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Reuben tries to catch Poly before she leaves for good, he sees from a distance that she climbs into a taxi. He starts running after her but stops at her house, when he sees the taxi turning around the corner and realizes that he can't catch her any more. In this last shot of the taxi the street scenery is totally different, for example there are two big trucks on both sides of the road which weren't there before, and it must be the same road because Reuben sees her from her house from where she started.
