Continuity mistake: When Walter goes to bed in the tower room the light that appears through the windows is much too bright for the little petroleum lamp he was carrying. (00:10:30)

Continuity mistake: When the airplane delivery man hands the manual to Hub, the piece he was just unloading changes from standing upright to horizontally between shots. (01:04:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Walter puts the blanket over Hub's shoulders one can tell from the reflection that the moon is across the lake. However, Walter's shadow on hub indicates that the moon is behind him. (01:06:00)

Continuity mistake: Walter unlocks the chest and pushes the chain on the lid to the side. When the camera angle changes the chain is pointing towards him. (00:12:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: The arrangement of eggs and sausages on Walter's plate keeps changing during his first breakfast at his uncles' house. (00:15:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the lion cage is standing in the yard, sunlight and shade keeps changing. First the cage is fully in the shade, but when the uncles approach the sun is shining on it. When the cage is open, the light on Garth and on the lion's fur comes from opposite directions. After the cage is closed it's back in the shade again. (00:36:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Mae drives off leaving Walter. He is standing with his suitcase on the right side of the road. Camera cuts to the dogs chasing after the car, and when it cuts back to Walter he is standing on the left side of the road. (00:07:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Walter opens the chest its contents are covered by a smooth layer of sand. When he reaches in in the next shot there are already tracks made by his fingers. Then he removes the sand from Jasmine's photograph that we can see her face, but in the next shot the face is mostly covered again. (00:12:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the four punks are sitting in the car outside the McCann compound one of them whines "I wanna go home." While he does that he holds his nose and bends his head back. When the camera changes to a wider angle he does the same move again. (00:52:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Garth gets the money from the cellar under the barn he leans a pile of wads upright against his petroleum lamp. When the camera angle changes the wads are lying on the floor. (01:13:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the first salesman holds up some papers they get shot out of his hand. They get blown into confetti (rather strange result of a gunshot, though), but when the salesman is gone the papers are lying on the ground intact. (00:08:40)

Continuity mistake: After Walter jumps out of the car to go back to the Uncle's. Walter is running along the left side of a bridge. There are two wide shots from below the bridge showing him running on the right side of the bridge. (01:28:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the first scene the uncles fly their airplane under a bridge past a police car that's doing speed checks. While they do so we see the police officer wake up twice. (00:01:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Before Walter's mother drives off she asks Walter to give her a big smile. While he is trying very hard the camera cuts back and forth between him and his mom. When the camera is on him a rather strong wind moves his collar and his hair, and when it's on her there's no wind at all. (00:06:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the naughty nephews break open the cage the lion lifts its head to growl at them. When the camera angle changes it's lifting its head again. (00:51:35)
