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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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.
