Continuity mistake: Jeffrey begins giving J a quick crash course on how to use the Time Jump device on top of the building. Just before he says "When you're moving fast enough" he pats J on the back, receiving an angry look from J. Jeff then puts his arms down as J begins slowly moving forward.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When J exits the Flatiron building in 1960 a woman walks right behind him, then the shot cuts to his POV of a group of hippies, then back to the previous shot of J and the woman obviously continues her walk. She should've been several meters ahead already. (00:38:30)
