City of God mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film (and at the end, when they show the same scene) the moment before Rocket is about to pick up the chicken, he is only a few inches away from it. The next shot that shows Rocket from behind, the chicken is much further away from him. (00:03:40)

Lummie

Continuity mistake: When the Tender Trio are fleeing from the gas truck robbery you can see a woman wearing a sleeveless yellow dress carrying a gas tank away, then a couple of shots later the same woman is fleeing empty-handed and then we see her suddenly ahead of the trio carrying a gas tank again. (00:07:08)

Continuity mistake: During "The Li'l Zé story" before Li'l Dice (Dadinho) kills Goose (Marreco), a woman's white purse changes position, from the right side of Li'l Dice to his upper left side, between the shots. (00:40:05)

Continuity mistake: When Shaggy (Cabeleira) strikes the first room in the motel, the clothes hanging next to the door change positions in one shot.

Revealing mistake: At the end when Li'l Zé (Zé Pequeno) and his crew want Rocket (Buscapé) to take a picture of them in the street, a long-haired boy with a blue shirt is the first to be killed in the final shooting. A couple of seconds before he is shot in the chest, the shape of the blood pack is visible under his shirt.

Buscapé: What should have been swift revenge turned into an all out war. The City of God was divided. You couldn't go from one section the other, not even to visit a relative. The cops considered anyone living in the slum a hoodlum. People got used to living in Vietnam, and more and more volunteers signed up to die.
