Continuity mistake: Pay attention in the beginning of the movie, when Ordell is showing some "girls with guns" to De Niro. While he suggests to run fast the tape, he presses the REWIND key. The expected one would be the FF key. (00:04:25)
Continuity mistake: Jackson, Fonda & De Niro are first together in Jackson's apartment and Fonda is sitting provocatively on the sofa in shorts with her legs crossed right/left. Shot changes over Fonda's shoulder and her legs are crossed left/right, back to original shot and her legs are crossed right/left again. (00:06:40)
Continuity mistake: When the phone rings for the second time, Ordell is about to take a sip from a glass in his left hand. When it cuts, the glass is in his right hand. (00:08:25)
Continuity mistake: When Ordell and Louis gets to Max Cherry's office there is a yellow cup and a filer close to each other on Cherry's desk. When it cuts you can see the cup has moved away from the filer. (00:10:35)
Continuity mistake: When Jackie leaves the bag in the dressing room for Max, it's on the middle cushion of three. However, when Max looks into the room, the bag is on the left cushion. (01:47:00 - 01:57:19)
Continuity mistake: When Samuel L. Jackson shoots Robert De Niro, why does the blood spray forward onto the windshield? I admit it does look impressive, but he shot him from the side, so it makes no sense for the blood to spray at a 90-degree angle.
Continuity mistake: There is a scene when Jackie is doing the trial run with the southern girl she is sitting at a table in the food court. Watch her right hand, at one point she tries to tap her cigarette in the ash tray and they immediately cut to a scene where she is holding the cigarette up by her head, so it looks like it never happened.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jackie is interrogated for the first time by the policemen Ray and Mark, she has to unload her bag. The shots switch between seeing Jackie (while unloading the bag) from the back and seeing her from the front. When seen from the front, we see a cup standing on the desk, next to her bag. In the shots taken from the back of Jackie, the cup has disappeared.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where they are doing the money exchange (for real this time) in the plane, Jackie Brown puts the money in her bag and then starts piling clothes on top. If you watch, she drops a small white bag (possibly a make-up bag) on the floor to her left. In the next shot, it is no-longer there yet she has had no time to pick it up. Further to this, it is also the last thing she puts in the bag before zipping it up.
Continuity mistake: When Jackie is buying the suit for the first time in the mall, she is quite a way away from the till when the assistant shouts for Jackie to get her change. But, when we see it from Max's POV, Jackie is closer to the counter at this point.
