Continuity mistake: When Ned Broy comes to Vaughan's the night he gets killed the receptionist is sleeping on the counter. He wakes up a few minutes later when the hotel gets raided, and next to him there is a bell that hasn't been there before. (00:58:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: There's one scene where Michael Collins talks to Ned Broy standing on a small pedestrian bridge while a train passes overhead. From the railing construction you can tell that the close-up was taken at a different place than the wide shot. (00:51:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Michael Collins announces to his men that all collaborators will be shot his hair changes from messy to perfectly combed between shots. (00:30:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Michael Collins and his men raid the police station they throw torches on the roof. A second later the whole building is on fire, and the policemen run out coughing and gasping for air. However, when the IRA people go in to get the police guns the air is quite breathable. (00:15:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After Kitty wakes up Michael and Harry, the way she holds the water can changes between shots. (00:14:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Michael Collins searches through the files in the castle he takes the only photograph from his file and shows it later to Harry Boland. But when the file is given to Soames, the photograph is back in. (00:30:30 - 00:52:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the horse breaks loose on the ferry it gallops down a narrow corridor towards Rachel to finally jump over the railing. When you look closely, especially at the car parked at the end, you see that the corridor changes in alternating shots. (00:55:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Noah drops Rachel off at the ferry and hands over Aidan's drawing it is pouring. However, only in close-ups of Rachel we see rain coming down in front of her face, but not when the camera shows Noah. (00:52:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the first scene in Rachel's apartment Noah bites into an apple. First we hear him say 'ok' while he is still chewing but it doesn't sound as if there is something in his mouth, then he goes on talking after swallowing down everything, and finally we see him from behind, busily chewing again without having taken another bite. (00:29:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Back in LA Charlie talks to Dr. Bruner about Raymond's future. Charlie's nonchalantly hanging hair in front is all combed back from the moment he says 'I never called him back'. (01:48:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Charlie and Raymond argue over K-Mart underwear an utterly frustrated Charlie stops the car, gets out, and vents his spleen. There is a close-up of the door opening with a clear vertical shadow, whereas all wide shots suggest that it's late evening. (00:54:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: While Susanna gets out of the tub, dresses, and leaves the hotel room the wet patches on Charlie's undies first disappear and then reappear in a different pattern. (00:35:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Raymond finds Charlie and Susanna making love Charlie runs after him. A moment later we find Susanna soaking peacefully in a hot bathtub, without even nearly enough time to get in. Additionally, when they talk while Charlie is sitting on the side of the tub, wet strands of Susanna's hair appear in front of her shoulder. (00:33:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Charlie comes back from Dr. Bruner's office and asks Raymond to get out of the car Susanna's hands are in her lap. When the camera angle changes her arms are up on the back and the side of the car respectively. (00:17:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Charlie talks to Dr. Bruner in his office his right thumb is under his belt. When he is seen from behind the arm is hanging down, and when it cuts back to a front shot both his thumbs are under his belt. (00:17:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Charlie tells Susanna about how he took the Buick for a ride and ended up in prison, the green blanket on the sofa where Susanna is sitting either covers the back smoothly or is pushed together alternatingly. (00:11:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Charlie has the brainwave to use Raymond's special abilities to make some money in Las Vegas they turn around and drive directly to Caesar's Palace, get dressed up, and make a lot of money. All of a sudden Susanna shows up, and we don't have a clue how she found out that they went there, when, on the other hand, we saw Charlie earlier calling his partner a couple of times, telling him his whereabouts, and even calling Susanna, when it didn't necessarily move the plot forward. (01:38:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie Raymond gets evaluated by Dr. Marston. When the doctor blames Charlie for kidnapping his brother his hands are on the table. When the camera angle changes to a side shot they are folded in front of his face, holding a pencil, and in the next shot they are down on the table again. Additionally, at the end of the scene a tray with water glasses gets shifted back and forth in alternating shots. (01:55:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Rachel enters the reception at Shelter Mountain Inn the caretaker asks her to pick a card from a deck. She picks the nine of diamonds, but when she gives it back to the guy you get a blurred glimpse of the card, and it is a four of something. (That she finally agrees that the seven of spades is the right one is probably because she gets tired of the game.) (00:21:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: On the way to Shelter Mountain Inn Rachel is seen driving along a lake. The water is to her right, and the forest to her left. A helicopter shot confirms that, but when we see the car from the front the forest is to her right. (00:20:45)
