Revealing mistake: When John and Lacey brand a calf it doesn't even wince when the iron hits the skin. It looks as if in Mexico they do branding under anaesthetic. (00:30:55)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When Alejandra comes to John's room the first time you see distinct t-shirt marks on John's upper body, his arms as tanned as his neck and face. This in spite of the fact that he wears long-sleeved shirts throughout the movie (except, of course, during his nightly encounters with Alejandra). (00:49:30)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When they break in the mustangs you see in at least one shot that stuntmen do the rodeo riding. Matt Damon's is wearing different shoes. (00:34:50)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When the Quoyle ancestors pull the house across the ice the four ropes are hanging loose in spite of the strong pull one should need to move a whole house. Not to mention that the whole idea of getting a house down the cliffs in one piece, pulling it across the ice and lugging it up another cliff requires some strong imagination. (00:28:50)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: During the barn raise you see the some men using ridiculously small nails to connect huge beams. (01:20:20)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When the car falls backwards into the neighbour's garden it doesn't touch the ground but bounces back a few inches before. It must have been held by a cable. (00:01:30)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When Sam tries to preform auto-erotic asphyxiation (when he tries to "hang" himself) on himself in the closet and the rod breaks the falling pieces are cleanly cut and not broken. (00:03:45)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: In the hut in the swamps Zack lights a candle. The resulting light is obviously from a spotlight because the flame and the shadows are perfectly still. (01:09:30)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When the three friends have a rest during their escape through the swamps you see water in the background where the ripples and the reflections are totally still, in contrast to all other shots before and after. It must be a painted backdrop. (01:05:20)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: Tuptim's, the king's new concubine's hair is a very obvious wig. The reason may be that for the second half of the film she had to shave her head and the scenes weren't shot in order. (00:32:00)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: In the caning scene most of the injuries on Tuptim's back are visibly painted. Only a few look like real caning marks. (01:38:55)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When Mrs. Thrall appears for the first time on the phone with a customer a few German words suggest that she is of German origin. Her accent reveals that she is not. (00:45:30)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When Finn draws a fish at the beginning of the film you see a dent already in the paper at the spot where he draws the eye. (00:03:10)
