The Cell mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Carl is washing plates, he has a pile of clean ones stacked on the counter. He places a third one down onto the pile but when we see the pile there's only two, then suddenly three, without him placing another one down. However when the plate he cleans falls and smashes, there's just two in the pile again. (01:00:00 - 01:40:00)

Continuity mistake: Just after Peter has entered Carl's mind for the first time, it then cuts to Julie who is trapped in the water tank. The sprinkler turns on and she gets up - her blue shirt tightly tucked into her skirt. It cuts and suddenly all of the shirt is hanging out. In these same two shots, the sleeves on the shirt alternate from normal to suddenly rolled all the way up her arms. (01:20:50)
