Continuity mistake: When Joe exchanges the silver bars, his friend is shown entering in the background. The man places his hand in the right hand corner of the basket as he finishes placing the gun. A few seconds later, as Joe retracts his gun from the basket, the man's gun is now placed at the left hand corner. (00:03:25)

Looper (2012)
Suggested correction: You never actually see the second gun being placed into the basket on the wall so it's easy to surmise that the second one was placed to the left of the first.

Continuity mistake: When Joe is escaping the diner on Seth's bike, Kid Blue is shown running up to him. At this point, Kid Blue has a blue shirt on, then as he gets blasted back by the bike's engine and falls backwards, he suddenly has a purple shirt on. A few shots later, he is back to having the blue shirt on. (00:49:50)

Continuity mistake: When Joe is in the diner for the first time in the movie, he is sitting in the corner of the booth. As the waitress says "How's the French?", Joe is now suddenly sitting in the middle of the seat. Then when the shot cuts back to Joe, he is back to being in the corner. (00:02:45)

Continuity mistake: When Suzie is looking at herself in the mirror having a cigarette, she has make-up on and some of it is wrongly smeared around her eye.

Continuity mistake: When Joe pushes Kid Blue into his silver bar vault, Kid Blue attempts to climb out, but Joe closes the door and Kid Blue traps his fingers in the door. His fingers are at first, all stretched out, but by the next shot, his fingers are suddenly closer together. (00:28:40)

Continuity mistake: When the waitress Beatrix is pouring coffee into Joe's mug at the diner, an angle from far away shows Beatrix's right arm with the kettle in her hand pouring the coffee into Joe's mug and her left arm is by her side. In the next shot, as she goes to leave, her left arm is now suddenly placed on Joe's shoulder. (00:02:50)

Continuity mistake: After Joe puts his gun in the basket at the start, he walks over to a slot to put the silver bars in. A CCTV camera is visible duct taped to the wall with a wire attached to the camera. The wire next to the camera goes on for a few inches before there is a bend in the wire going upwards. After Joe says "Two, Jedd" the shot cuts to a close-up of the CCTV camera, and the bit of wire before the bend is shorter than it was before. (00:03:15)

Continuity mistake: When Sara and Cid are practicing maths on the multiplication grid, Sara asks what is 8 X 7 and Cid puts a 56 on the board. The 56 is located one next to the end grid in the first shot, but by the next shot, the 56 is suddenly located at the corner of the grid. (01:12:10)

Continuity mistake: In the "loop closing" montage, after Joe is shown at the cafe speaking in French to the waitress, he is shown looking at his stopwatch and the time reads 2:29. The following shot shows a tied up man appearing from the future on the white sheet. Joe then shoots the man, but it is noticeable that the angle of the gun and the position of the wound after he is hit do not match up. The gun itself is aimed at the man's head, possibly higher, but the wound itself is shown in his chest. (00:09:10)
