Suggested correction: He doesn't shoot him in the back. He shoots him in the front and the arrow penetrates through. If you slow it down, you can see the arrowhead pointing out of his back.

Continuity mistake: When Frank is at Saint's building, he starts throwing money out the window. Problem is, its showering down in single bills and it is originally wrapped in bundles. The cart is stacked to the top and it would take time to unwrap all the bundles.

Continuity mistake: When Frank reveals himself to the public in front of a group of reporters and two former co-workers - when we first see him, you can see he is wearing a black button-up shirt that is buttoned all the way up, except for the top two, revealing that he is wearing his skull t-shirt underneath. (You can see the top of the skull peaking out.) But a few shots later, the bottom half of the shirt is completely unbuttoned (only one button is actually buttoned up), with him having no time or reason to do so between shots. In addition, when the bottom half half of the shirt is unbuttoned, you should be able to see the rest of the skull, but you can't. You can tell the skull just sort of stops midway down the shirt, revealing that he is wearing an alternate version of the t-shirt that only had the top half printed on it, so it would be just visible peeking out of the top of the button-up shirt.

Continuity mistake: When Howard Saint is in the limo after burying his son, he gives instructions to his best friend to kill Jack. His hair is wet and put back with gel. His friend says "all right", then we cut back to Saint, whose hair is now less slick. Cut away and back, and his hair is exactly how it was before.

Continuity mistake: When Frank's family is being attacked, Frank and his father are inside the house fighting with some thug hiding behind the barbecue stand. At one point a shotgun shot is visible in the black metal lid on the left of the stand. In the next shot, the lid is intact, and then when the gas bottles blow up, it's shot again.

Question: In the extended version, when Frank confronts Jimmy about his betrayal, why did he make Jimmy commit suicide instead of killing Jimmy himself?

Answer: Jimmy is drowning in massive gambling debt and has had to resort to selling everything of value he owns as well as steal money from evidence lockers to help pay his debt down. He has nothing to live for and is merely going through the motions of life, and coupled with his guilt over selling out Frank and getting his family killed, Frank concludes Jimmy needs to take his fate in his own hands.
