Meet the Fockers

Continuity mistake: After the cat opens Jack's playpen the toys in front appear/disappear randomly between shots. Also the opening of the door changes when Greg brings the rum.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Jack sees the glue bottle it turns 180° between shots, check the position of the label. One could argue that both sides have a label, but a shot later the kid is grabbing the glue and there's no label on the side facing the camera.

Trivia: The house used as the Focker's home (outside shots only) is the same home used in the TV show "Fantasy Island". The Queen Anne Cottage is located at the Los Angeles Arboretum, even though the movie is set in Florida. The outside of the house was re-dressed and so looks a little different.
