Continuity mistake: After the breaking-in job John gets off a white horse that stands still when he walks off. In the next shot the same horse comes trotting from the direction where John is heading. When John reaches the gate the horse stands again at the same place where John left it. (00:35:45)

Continuity mistake: Before the knife fight John sits down at a table with his tray. From shot to shot the arrangement of ashtrays on the table changes. (01:13:15)

Continuity mistake: When John gets attacked in the prison canteen he gets first cut on his face. In slow motion you can see that there is already blood on his hand that should come from a cut he receives a few seconds later. (01:14:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When John says good-bye to Samuel you see them from across a brook, sitting on the bank. In the next shot they are shown from behind and the brook is gone. To top it off, John even walks off in the direction where the brook was before. (01:41:35)

Continuity mistake: When Samuel shows his new toy to Rachel she looks out of the kitchen window into the fields. Two shots later she looks out of the same window and, surprise, there are Eli and John putting up the bird house. When she talks to Eli later there is same window in the background, with no bird house to be seen. (01:23:50)

Continuity mistake: When the people are having their break during the barn raise there is a panorama shot where most of the roof is gone that had been already fixed. (01:12:20)

Continuity mistake: When Quoyle, Agnis, and Bunny come to their Newfoundland house they have to leave the car at quite a distance because of the snow. When you see them arriving at the house on foot the car is parked much closer than in the previous shot. (00:19:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Quoyle and Pretty come back from the car accident they drive by Wavey and her son walking on the roadside. While they are driving a housing area is passing by as background. Only the two shots that show Wavey and her son are taken in an open area next to a little graveyard, but no houses. (00:32:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Quoyle and Petal sit in the restaurant she reaches for his hand. There is some juice on the table which in different shots is first totally still, then shaking wildly as if someone had hit a table leg, then still again, all within one or two seconds. (00:05:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Quoyle talks to Agnis when she is reading sitting on the cliffs the rock she is leaning against changes from shot to shot. In the last shot from a distance she is sitting not leaning against anything. (00:45:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Quoyle and Bunny sit at the table in their yard talking about life and death, there is no space between their bodies. In one shot one can see their backs as a reflection in the window, with a gap of about 10 inches between them. (00:16:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Quoyle meets Wavey the second time he ses her walking next to a huge black rock. When he stops the car there is no rock whatsoever but a street junction. In the next shots you see the rocks behind Wavey again. (00:44:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Quoyle meets Petal for the first time she gets into his car totally drenched. A bit later they stop for something to eat, and Petal's hair is completely dry. (00:04:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the drunken Quoyle comes to Wavey's house in the heavey rain, his face and jacket are dry once he is inside the house. (01:33:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Quoyle gets fired by Card he storms out of the office, not listening any more to what Card has to say. He pushes open a swing door, then the camera is on the abusing Card for quite a while, and when it's back on Quoyle he has only reached the main door that is just a few meters away from the swing door. (01:05:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the protagonists fly kites on the cliffs Bunny is wearing red shoes. When they come back her shoes are grey. (00:55:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the protagonists come back to have a look at the remains of the house there is still a lot of rubble. When the camera moves back and you see the whole cliff one can still see the people but no more trace of the house. (01:41:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the Quoyle house gets blown away by the storm all 2nd floor windows are open. In the next, closer shot the windows are closed. (01:34:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: On the way from Lancaster to Philadelphia the length of the train changes. It's fairly long when it enters the Lancaster station; after leaving the station, in one shot it's just a locomotive and one car, while in a later shot it's a locomotive and three cars. (00:09:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the train overtakes the cart you see in alternating shots either the cart on the road with clear field in between or, in an angle showing Rachel's and Samuel's faces, a built-up area with station and factory looking buildings. (00:08:50)
