Revealing mistake: Towards the end, Jake Gyllenhaal is browsing the internet on a computer running Windows 7...despite the "no network" notification icon at the bottom right of the taskbar. (01:25:05)
Prisoners (2013)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Denis Villeneuve
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Maria Bello, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo
Continuity mistake: In the shot where Holly is done injecting Anna with the syringe and stands up to shoot at Detective Loki, the syringe and two "medicine/poison" bottles are all close together next to Anna's hair. Next three shots showing the room far out with Holly getting shot and killed has the two bottles next to the edge of the rug and very far from Anna's hair, as well as the syringe which is slightly closer, but far away. The next shot of Loki picking up Anna has the syringe and bottles in their original position next to Anna's hair.
Eliza Birch: Did you feel bad for that deer when you shot it?
Ralph Dover: Do you feel bad for cows when you go into McDonalds?
Trivia: When Keller looks at the newspaper detailing Bob Taylor's suicide whilst at Holly's house, the reporter who wrote the article is called Aaron Guzikowski. Aaron Guzikowski is also the name of the movie's screenwriter. (01:51:15)
Question: Why did Bob have the snakes? Is it linked to the snakes that scared Alex as a child or is it just a coincidence? If they are supposed to protect the evidence in the crates, they wouldn't be in plain sight.

Chosen answer: In the film it is just a coincidence. However, the snakes tie into the rest of the religious and mythological imagery present in the film.
