Character mistake: When Katniss is trying to destroy the supply pile, we see a close up of her drawing back on the her bow. We see she has the arrow to the left of the grip, meaning the fletchings (feathers at the end by the string) have to be facing to the left. Otherwise the fletchings will hit the grip, rip off, and make the arrow unstable in flight and go completely off course. However, the fletchings are are facing to the right and so will hit the grip. Any archer or anyone who is skilled with a bow would know this. (01:32:45)

Continuity mistake: When Katniss and Rue are chewing on some bones just after the tracker jacker scene, Rue removes a bone from her mouth. Camera cuts and she removes the bone again. (01:27:40)

Continuity mistake: When Katniss dives into the water to escape the fire, a pocket of air forms in her coat and can be seen, as it should, on the surface of the water. Camera cuts and the air pocket has completely disappeared. There is no time for it disappear naturally and Katniss doesn't remove it. (01:16:20)

Continuity mistake: When Katniss is volunteering to replace Prim, she struggles with 2 guards and starts to fall down. As such her head ends up lower than both guards' shoulders. Camera cuts and she is stood up again. This is an instant cut and a very bad edit. (00:15:35)

Continuity mistake: In the first shot of the two girls at the very start, Katniss is stroking Prim's hair. She occasionally places her hand on Prim's head. However, when she does this, her hand is in a different spot in between camera cuts. (00:01:50)
