Continuity mistake: Big is reading an email and points at the computer with his index finger extended. Shot cuts and now his palm is extended. (00:35:30)
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Big and Carrie meet in their cars after Big fled the wedding you can see down the street in the distance a huge amount of SATC fans have gathered to watch the filming. (00:52:35)
Visible crew/equipment: Carrie hits Big with her bouquet and when he falls back onto the car seat and says, "Carrie, I'm sorry!" the moving boom mic reflection is visible on the black surface, over the doorway. (00:52:45)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the four ladies are sitting around the pool in Mexico, talking about Miranda's lack of waxing, keep an eye on the magazine that Charlotte is holding. Just as Miranda walks away, the open page on the left side of the magazine is a red page advertising what looks like a perfume. As she leans forward to say, "really," the page changes immediately to a white page. Then after Carrie makes her "Mexicoma" joke, the shot goes back to Charlotte and Samantha, and the magazine Charlotte has open is now on a blueish picture. Not enough time to change the pages. (01:05:00)
Continuity mistake: During Carrie's personal assistant interview with Paul, in the shot facing Carrie her papers and coffee cup are centered on the table in front of her, but as the camera pans down to the man's pink high heels, the items are at the corner of the table. (01:10:50)
Continuity mistake: When Charlotte and Lily drop by to see Carrie, to invite her to join them for trick-or-treating, Lily hands over a small pumpkin that she's holding upside down, but on another angle, when Carrie receives it, it is right side up. (01:23:20)
Visible crew/equipment: After receiving the Valentines card, Carrie arrives home and gets a call from Sam. During Sam's scene three people standing up are perfectly visible reflected on one of the pots. (01:37:29)
Continuity mistake: When Louise calls Carrie from the bridal salon, her little sister is visible in the mirror's reflection as she holds Louise's Louis Vuitton bag on her lap. In the reflection the back of the Louis Vuitton bag faces out, but in the sister's close-up the bag's distinctive front faces out, then in the next shot it's the back again. (02:09:30)
Continuity mistake: In the final scene, Carrie drinks her cocktail and there's a shot of Sam from behind, with her glass on the table, hand away from it. Half a second later she is holding the glass and lowering it to put it on the table. (02:10:57)
Continuity mistake: When Carrie is feeling depressed in Mexico and is being fed food in bed by Samantha, there is a tea pot on the tray on the bed. The scene changes back and forth between Samantha and Carrie and each time it changes, the style of the tea pot completely changes. When it's a shot of Samantha, it's a regular tea pot with a lid, and when it's a shot of Carrie, it changes to an art deco style pot with no lid whatsoever.
Continuity mistake: When the girls are at the restaurant in Mexico and the waiter brings over the drinks, he first hands Charlotte the bottled water and then hands Samantha the drink. The camera pans back to the waiter holding the drinks and the bottle of water is still there along with 2 other drinks.
Continuity mistake: When Samantha is lying on the table covered in sushi and the phone rings, she moves and the piece of sushi on her shoulder falls down. There is a visible piece of double sided stick tape there to hold the sushi in place. In the scene time elapses, but it is understood Samantha never leaves the table and remains covered in sushi. When the shot returns to her close up, the piece of tape has been removed from her shoulder.
Plot hole: While the wedding party is getting ready to leave Charlotte's apartment, Big calls Carrie's cell phone. Lily (Charlotte's young daughter) answers, immediately closes it without speaking, then drops the phone into her purse that she takes with her to the wedding. Big continually calls back, but even though Lily is always with one of her parents, no can hear Carrie's phone is ringing inside Lily's purse. Lily only closed the phone, it was not turned off, the ringer was turned up, and the battery was charged. Lily and Harry rode to the library separately and during the time Big had been trying to call Carrie. Harry should have heard the phone.
Continuity mistake: When Carrie is talking to Miranda on her bed she has a Sharpie pen attached to her sundress strap, in another shot it is gone, then in the next shot the Sharpie is back.
Continuity mistake: When Carrie leaves Charlotte's apartment the day of her wedding, she is wearing a plain pair of off-white stilettos. When Carrie gets out of the limo and is approaching Big with her bouquet in her hand, she is wearing a pair of gladiator type heels.
Continuity mistake: At the Italian restaurant, Brady's fork is on the plate of spaghetti in shots facing Steve, but in shots facing Brady he's holding his fork.
Continuity mistake: When the four ladies are sitting around after Charlotte's baby shower, the camera moves from Carrie to Samantha several times. The cake on Carrie's plate goes from almost finished to a complete slice between the two shots.
Continuity mistake: In the extended scenes of the movie when the four girls are trying on Carrie's clothes from the eighties, they are sitting on the bed together watching Lily coming out of the bathroom draped in numerous handbags. They have all changed back into their normal clothes, but when Lily continues to walk closer to the girls, the angle changes and the four girls are back in Carrie's outfits again, dancing around in the bedroom.
Plot hole: In the scene where Louise gives Carrie her new phone, she tells Carrie of her new phone number and Carrie gets upset because she has lost her old 917 prefix; but all Carrie did was throw her phone away into the ocean, she didn't have to change her number. I'm sure, as here, in New York people lose or break their phones constantly. It's just a chance to explain why Big hasn't got her number - her new number - so he couldn't call her and apologise (but what about her home phone number; that wouldn't have changed - Big would know that number, surely).
Continuity mistake: Whene Louise leaves to get married she puts the brown envelopes in the left drawer/cupboard, furthest from the TV. When she goes to look for them in a later scene they are in the left drawer/cupboard, nearest the TV.
