Continuity mistake: When Landa arrives at the property of Pierre LaPadite, he teleports in front of the hanging clothes between shots.

Big Game

Continuity mistake: After Shosanna switches projectors on the visual cue from the film, the movie cuts to Marcel standing behind the screen smoking a cigarette. The camera pulls back from behind him showing a large billow of smoke rising from his face and he lifts his right arm up to his cigarette. But then the camera cuts to an overhead view, and suddenly his arm is down and the smoke is gone.

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: When Donowitz and Ulmer walk into the theater, they see Joseph Goebbels and his mistress in the box above them, to their right. They would be looking to their right to watch the movie. Later, during the movie, Goebbels, Hitler, the mistress and Zoller are looking to their left to watch the movie, so they would have to be in the box on the opposite side of the theater, where Martin Bormann was shown.

Jets Fan

Continuity mistake: When Shoshanna meets Zoller, there's a strand of hair falling by her left cheek which appears or disappears depending on the angle focusing.

Sacha

Factual error: When the real German soldiers are playing 20 questions in the bar, one of the cards shows the name of Genghis Khan. This is an English-language word; as Germans, they would have written Dschingis Khan instead. As the whole scene deals with exposing the British/American spies and subtle differences in their language or behaviour, this is especially unfavorable here.

Question: Does Emmanuelle Mimieux know of the Bastard's plan to blow up the cinema and do the Bastards know that Emmanuelle Mimieux is going to burn it down, or are the plans not connected at all?

Answer: They're unconnected. As happens often in Tarantino's films, their storylines are completely separate until they intersect at that point.
