Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ben Stiller, Patricia Arquette and Tea Leoni go to visit Ben's adoptive parents, Mary Tyler Moore and George Segal. Mary and George get into an argument and Mary picks up the 3/4 Brie cheese wheel and chases George into the other room. Cut to Ben yelling at them. Then back to them, the brie wheel now much smaller. Then cut again and the brie wheel is back to 3/4 size when they return to the living room.
Flirting with Disaster (1996)
Directed by: David O. Russell
Starring: Ben Stiller, Patricia Arquette, Téa Leoni, Mary Tyler Moore
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: During the scene at Ben's adoptive parent's house, Ben Stiller and Tea Leoni are sitting on a couch talking to Mary Tyler Moore and George Segal. Watch Patricia Arquette w/baby in the background between Ben and Tea. What she's eating (cracker or cheese) changes size between shots and when she says, "They killed Art Sacheim?" it completely disappears and reappears in the next shot.
Revealing mistake: During the scene with Patricia Arquette sitting on the hotel toilet in her robe, she reaches for the toilet paper and spreads her legs for a moment. We can see she is wearing panties while she was supposedly doing her business.
Agent Paul: You do know it is a federal offense to destroy a United States Post Office?
Tina: Every marriage is vulnerable, otherwise being married wouldn't mean anything, would it?
Agent Tony: Do you mind if I look at your armpit?
Nancy Coplin: My armpit?
Agent Tony: It's my favorite part of a woman's body.
