Continuity mistake: The bar scene of Rachel's and Frank's date contains a lot of editing flaws: 1) Rachels position switches between both arms down and chin rested in hand, 2) in one shot from the back we see her lifting her glass to her mouth, but when the camera angle changes she's not drinking, 3) the way Frank holds his glass switches between full hand and thumb plus two fingers, 4) Rachel's bangs change between straggly and fluffy. (00:47:30)

Continuity mistake: At the end of their date Rachel and Frank come to his place. We see her checking out his basement with a wine glass in her right hand. When she picks up a picture from a shelf she holds it in both hands without having put down the glass before. A little later we see the glass standing on the left side of the shelf where she obviously couldn't have put it down. Finally, when she takes the sword from the wall the glass has miraculously moved to another shelf. (00:52:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene in Frank's basement the ends of Rachel's scarf change: Before she picks up the sword the right end is longer, afterwards the left end. In between there's a close-up where she is holding the sword in front of her and where both ends are at level. (00:53:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the end of Rachel's and Frank's date the camera pans from the sword over some of his basement items on the shelves to the couple nestled between the sheets on the sofa, where Rachel states that never in her life she has felt as safe. However, when they wake up in the morning they are lying in his bed upstairs, and Frank opens a window that overlooks the garden. Considering their obvious comfiness downstairs this change of location can't be explained. (00:55:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the party in the Miami hotel Portman's bangs change between pulled back and covering his forehead. (01:03:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene at the Miami hotel, when Rachel and Portman are in her bedroom, someone gives Frank a fresh drink of orange juice. He takes a deep sip, the camera cuts to Rachel's bedroom door, and when it cuts back to Frank the glass is even fuller than when he got it. (01:05:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Frank makes a control round through the Miami hotel kitchen he beats up a creepy but nevertheless innocent guy. When he is done the collar of his jacket which had been neatly folded down throughout the manhandling suddenly stands up. (01:10:55)

NancyFelix

Visible crew/equipment: When Frank comes back to the hotel room after the beating in the hotel kitchen Delaney informs him that Rachel had received another call from the stalker. In the scene there is a reflection of the mike in the window, and we even see how it's turned around when the take is over. (01:12:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the evening following Nicki's funeral Frank and Fletcher have a talk. Fletcher's arm switches back and forth between lying on Frank's backrest and hanging down. (01:35:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the Academy Awards scene, when Frank shoots Portman the second time, Portman receives an (entry or exit) wound on his temple. However, the way he was standing after being shot in the chest the bullet could only have hit him from the front. (01:53:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: The birthmark on Rachel's upper lip undergoes some make-up related changes throughout the movie. However, it shouldn't have disappeared completely between the moment she says good-bye to Frank on the airport and when she sits in the plane a few seconds later. (01:56:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Rudy comes to Bruiser's office to get hired the coral in the middle of the aquarium is a lot more branched in the opening close-up than in the later wide shots. (00:02:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Dot Black wants her husband to sign the contract she walks up to the car wreck where he is sitting in. There are numerous cats sitting on the car, and when Dot gets there all of them run away except one white one on the roof. When Dot starts talking to her hubby all cats have disappeared, but in the next wide shot we see her chasing a black cat off the roof. (00:10:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Rudy is waiting in the hospital cafeteria for Kelly he is reading a newspaper. When he is seen from the front the crease is in his right hand, but when we look over his shoulder at the article on Bruiser's legal problems it's in his left hand. (00:19:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: One morning Rudy wakes up from the clattering noises Ms. Birdie is making when she unloads a number of biggish garden tools from a wheelbarrow. The camera cuts to Rudy who is trying to sleep while we hear her unloading, then back to Ms. Birdie where the number of tools on the wheelbarrow has gone up again. (00:22:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Rudy talks to Kelly in the hospital for the first time the items on the table keep changing positions, like in the beginning the orange and the apple which suddenly move together. (00:23:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Kelly joins Rudy in the cinema her hair changes from tucked behind her ear to falling over her right temple between shots. (00:56:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Kelly calls Rudy at night after his return from Cleveland he is lying in bed in his suit. There's a close-up where the blanket is pulled up to his chin, but when the camera angle changes as he puts the receiver back his arms and shoulders are uncovered. (01:02:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Rudy and Deck listen to the taped phone call the items on the desk shift from one shot to the next. Check for example the position of the red pen. (01:08:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Rudy comes to the Black's place the first time and Donny Ray's nose starts bleeding, blood drops on the letter in which Great Benefits deny their claim for the eighth and last time, calling Dot Black "stupid, stupid, stupid". The letter dates from April 25, 1995 and is signed by Russell Krokit. When the same letter is produced as evidence when Everett Rufkin is heard as a witness the letter dates from July 7, 1994 and is signed by Everett Rufkin with copy to Russell Krokit. (00:10:50 - 01:17:30)
