The Whole Ten Yards

Continuity mistake: When the waitress is done pouring wine into Oz's glass, she puts the bottle into the wine cooler. When it cuts to a closeup of Cynthia, the waitress is still holding the bottle. (00:17:45)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie, when everyone has been "captured", Jill rips the crucifix and chain off of Jimmy's neck and throws it at Cynthia. In his next closeup, you can still see the chain on Bruce's neck. (01:22:30)

Karoo

Continuity mistake: Early in the movie, when Jill St. Claire tip-toes into the house while Jimmy the Tulip is busy with household chores, she invariably gets caught by the new family man anyway and eventually takes the argument with him upstairs to the bedroom. Carrying on the shouting match with her husband while getting change in front of the closet, a pair of shiny silver handcuffs (most likely the kinky kind - what business could a hitman possibly have with handcuffs?) can be seen hanging behind her head. By the time the outer layer of her clothing is stripped, the handcuffs disappear.

Continuity mistake: When Strabo falls down the stairs, his hands are shown untied (what stuntman would want to roll down a staircase with tied hands?), but then in the next shot his hands are again tied. Before and after the roll, they are tied, but not during. (01:01:20)

Continuity mistake: When Cynthia tells Oz she is pregnant on the phone Oz removes the phone from his ear and shouts "We're pregnant". When it cuts the phone is back to his ear. (00:15:05)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy gets to Oz's office, Oz is leaning on a rack with two jackets. It falls down and Oz picks it up again, but now only one jacket is on the rack. When it cuts, suddenly both jackets are hanging on it. (01:17:35)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: The first time Bruce Willis talks to Matthew Perry on the phone Bruce holds the phone in his right hand. Bruce's watch changes positions, well below that bump/bone below the wrist to above the bump/bone and then below again. Bruce never lowers his arm, or the phone, to cause the watch to move.

Continuity mistake: At the bar, when they are drinking, Jimmy asks Oz if he had a good relationship with his father. Oz takes a sip from his bottle. When it cuts, the bottle is gone. (00:54:30)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Oz and Jimmy are getting drunk and Jimmy says "God is counting my seeds" you see him holding his left hand to his head. When it cuts he is pointing with his left hand. (00:52:25)

Mortug

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy says "Murdering another human being can be a moving experience" to Jill, you see Jill wiping her nose on Jimmy's collar. When it cuts she isn't wiping. (00:06:35)

Continuity mistake: At the restaurant when the man is arguing with the waitress about his coffee there is a shot of him from behind where you can see him sitting still. When it cuts to a closeup of him he is waving his hands around. (00:37:00)
