Continuity mistake: After Pero has been thrown down the stairs Leon is sitting on him and threatening him with his knife key-chain. In close-up we see Pero's head lying between Rosalind's feet, but in the next shot she is still coming down the stairs. (00:19:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Pero is thrown down the stairs by his accomplices-to-be his shirt is tucked in. When the camera angle changes as he reaches the floor his butt is half exposed. (00:18:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Pero and Cosimo meet in the prison yard after the disastrous Mullinski (Pero was paid off to step in for Cosimo's sentence) there's the same elderly extra with longish white hair in different shots behind Pero as well as behind Cosimo. (00:14:50)

Continuity mistake: Riley is not wearing his wedding ring until the day of the burglary. (00:05:40 - 00:52:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Gerald's wife throws the gnome on the ground the head jumps away. When the pieces are seen again the head lies together with the rest. (01:06:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the end of the strip performance Guy throws his shirt into the audience. A few seconds later, when the camera is on Dave, he is seen again in the background waving his shirt. (01:22:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the end of the dress rehearsal, when the policeman looks around the corner, someone's shirt appears on the armrest of Nathe's chair. (01:01:40)

NancyFelix

Stupidity: When Gaz tries to steal a jacket and Dave, who works as security, catches him in quite a dramatic manner they are seen by other employees. Dave lets Gaz go because he is a friend. But the next day both stroll together through the shop as if nothing had happened, with no enquiries or follow-up from the other employees. (00:59:30)

NancyFelix

Stupidity: When Gaz, Dave, and Nathe are trying to cross the canal with two stolen girders via the semi-sunk car one girder is balancing on the car roof and the other one lies between the hood and the other side. Nathe walks across the girder, Gaz asks him to pull it onto the land, and Nathe lets it drop into the water. This doesn't make sense for two reasons: 1. It's obvious that the girder is too heavy for Nathe, 2. They would have first used this girder to carry the other one across, which must also have been the way how they reached the car in the first place. The movie depicts Gaz not exactly as perfect but still too smart for such blunders. (00:03:40)

Revealing mistake: At the end of the movie when the hobbits leave the Shire, there's a shot of a lake with trees in the background. The reflections of the trees don't match their actual shape.

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the first scene when Cathy picks up Janice from the ballet class the sun is shining on the car when they enter. When she pulls out the car is in the shade. (00:02:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Cathy talks to Sybil and the kids when she gets home after picking up Janice the leaf shadows on the car keep changing or disappear completely for some shots. It's similar in the scene where Cathy talks to Eleanor about homosexuality. (00:02:45 - 00:30:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Frank leaves the movie theater and looks after a man who goes up some stairs he suddenly wears his coat he was holding over his arm. (00:15:05)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: Raymond mentions his shop 'down on Hawthorn' to Cathy. The German subtitles translate into 'down in Hawthorn', as if Hawthorn were a different town. (00:21:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Frank has the appointment with Dr. Bowman Cathy's hat has a pin with a pearl in all shots in Dr. Bowman's office, but no pin in all other shots before and after. (00:28:00 - 00:30:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: During Frank's appointment with Dr. Bowman there's a sculpture with an arrow on the desk in all shots on the doctor, but the sculpture isn't there when we see Frank. (00:29:15)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: When Frank and Cathy talk about his homosexuality he says "I know it's a sickness". The German subtitles read "Schwäche" ("weakness") which is not just a bad but a wrong translation considering the perception of homosexuality in the fifties. (00:29:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the for a change complete Whitaker family is having dinner, David's right hand alternates between on the table, holding his glass of milk, and lying in his lap. (00:34:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the art exhibition Cathy spots Raymond explaining a painting to his daughter. She joins them, but now they are standing in front of a different painting, and the earlier one is nowhere to be seen. (00:37:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Cathy meets Raymond to say good-bye the time is reversed: When Raymond receives her call at his shop it's almost dark. When we see her walking up to the diner where he is waiting it's quite a bit brighter, and finally, when they talk in the street, the man who shouts at him to take his hands off her is standing in the sun. (01:06:40 - 01:08:55)
