Revealing mistake: When Jessica's dead body is seen by Annie in her bath and then in the hall, the make-up that is keeping Jessica's eye shut is coming away around the edges.
The Gift (2000)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Cate Blanchett, Greg Kinnear, Hilary Swank, Katie Holmes, Giovanni Ribisi, Michael Jeter, Rosemary Harris
Other mistake: Early in the film, Valerie Barksdale (Hilary Swank) visits Annie Wilson (Cate Blanchett) for a psychic reading. Valerie has been severely beaten by her husband, and her badly black and blue eye is swollen shut. A day or two later she visits Annie again. Amazingly her eye appears to have completely healed, even though the other marks on her face are still visible.
Ben: I want icing, Momma.
Annie: You've had icing enough to put you in a coma.
Question: When Annie and her boys are coming home from the neighbour's place, next door, there's a blue light coming from the main bedroom. Leaving her boys, Annie goes into the house and there is all this noise that sounds like a radio not completely tuned in, of an evangelist preaching really loudly. Now, where is all this noise coming from: Annie's mind, Donnie's car radio parked outside? Or is it just for our benefit?

Answer: The TV in Annie's room.
The TV wasn't on before, and Annie is suspicious of the noise and light, which she wouldn't be if it was just the TV.
