Suggested correction: Her hair is moving because of the wind. Her hair is never in a still position during that scene as her hair is moving in the wind. Same goes for the stalks in the fields moving because of the wind.

Continuity mistake: When old Seth is running away and sees his scar, the length of the sleeve rolled down changes between shots.

Suggested correction: The sleeve length is changing because old Seth is pulling his sleeve down to read the scar.

Continuity mistake: When Joe exchanges the silver bars, his friend is shown entering in the background. The man places his hand in the right hand corner of the basket as he finishes placing the gun. A few seconds later, as Joe retracts his gun from the basket, the man's gun is now placed at the left hand corner. (00:03:25)

Suggested correction: You never actually see the second gun being placed into the basket on the wall so it's easy to surmise that the second one was placed to the left of the first.

Continuity mistake: When old Joe is in the night club killing everybody, his face is covered in blood, but spotless when seen through the CCTV.

Question: How does the "timeline loop" with the kid becoming the mob boss (and looking to kill Bruce Willis 30 years later) start? If it gets started by "old" Bruce Willis killing the kid's (future mob boss) mother, and getting him very angry and revengeful, because Willis wants to revenge the death of its wife by the future mob boss... Then it is a chicken and egg problem.

AnthonyA

Chosen answer: The first time the time-loop occurred it is not necessarily due to Bruce Willis' character killing her. She could have died in another way, instigating the timeline in which Bruce Willis is taken to close his loop. He knows who the rainmaker is and therefore attempts to kill him in order to preserve his happy future. This in turn creates a brand new timeline in which Joe kills himself to save Sara, who in turn prevents the rainmaker from becoming a crime lord.
