Divergent (2014)

Continuity mistake: When Al and the two masked people are attacking Tris, Four appears, throws Al off Tris and he hits the wall. As Al hits the wall, it appears to have nothing lit on it, then from a side angle, green lighting has suddenly appeared. This has nothing to do with the camera angle. (01:19:40)

Divergent (2014)

Revealing mistake: When Four injects Tris with the serum before taking the test for the first time, it is very apparent the syringe is not injected into Tris' neck. The tip of the syringe is merely just touching the skin of Tris' neck and the syringe is shown moving around her neck. (01:07:30)

Divergent (2014)

Continuity mistake: When Tris is nearing the end of the zip line and she notices the other Dauntless initiatives already in the alleyway, there are only a couple of them on the ground from the POV shot of Tris. In a shot of the initiatives telling her to pull the brake, there's suddenly almost a dozen initiatives on the ground. (01:02:00)

Suggested correction: This isn't quite right. From the POV view there are quite a few people at the end of the line. Way more than a couple. Also, from the viewing angle most of them would be stood in front of the black wall (the background to the white cross). Divergents wear black. The background is black. It's at night, which makes things darker. It's at a distance, which makes things harder to see. So maybe it's understandable that from Tris' perspective the view wasn't quite as clear as it was from the ground.

Divergent (2014)

Continuity mistake: When the initiatives start playing the war games, Tris and Four take cover behind a shipping container. Four is first shown with his head in front of the container, but by the next shot as he says "Go" to Tris, his head is suddenly behind the container. This has nothing to do with the camera angles.

Continuity mistake: When Jeanine looks at Tris' tattoo, there is hair covering the top of her ear.

Revealing mistake: At the end of the first fighting session, after Tris' opponent has Tris on the ground, Eric gives Tris the signal to get up and the opponent punches her one last time. It is noticeable that the final punch does not hit Tris, but she still reacts anyway. (00:36:15)
