Revealing mistake: In the torture scene Roberta's head is stuck into a bucket full of water. When she is released she is not even breathing hard, only in a later shot you hear her gasp for breath. (00:47:20)

Plot hole: Roberta asks Jack to drive her car from the port to the casino to smuggle a transmitter through the checkposts. Since her links to the revolution were known to the authorities, and the chances that her car would be checked were much higher than with Jack's (which eventually also happened) it would have made much more sense if he had transported the transmitter in his own car.

Continuity mistake: In the first poker game Jack puts down his cigarette on an ashtray when the game is interrupted. The angle of the cigarette changes from one shot to the next (as if being put with the right or the left hand in different shots). (00:03:00)

Continuity mistake: On the day of the revolution a crowd breaks through the glass doors of the casino. Then the camera is on Jack for a few seconds and when it changes back to the doors all panes are intact again, and the people start breaking them a second time. (02:05:25)

Havana (1990)
Continuity mistake: When Roberta stays at Jack's apartment she looks at two books stacked on the table. She pulls the top one towards her to have a closer look, but in the next shot it's still in the same position. (01:40:55)

Revealing mistake: Another movie with plenty of getting in and out of cars, without any car ever being locked or unlocked - in a crime-ridden place as pre-revolution Havana.
