Continuity mistake: The NYSE trader who says "How is Anacott Steel?" is wearing a dark jacket, but in the following montage he is wearing the light colored one he wore later in the film when the Bluestar Airlines stock is traded. (00:35:40 - 00:38:00)

Visible crew/equipment: When Natalie is talking to Bud on the phone her assistant opens the doors to Gekko's office and 3 guests follow in single file. As the camera follows them in, their shadows are displayed on the right hand door. There is another shadow moving behind the last guest, which is someone in the film crew. (00:08:50)

Continuity mistake: The car Carl Fox is driving is on a 3 lane road with concrete barriers, that does not allow for parking. When the camera angle changes to show the interior, the car is on a road with vehicles parked on the sides. (01:53:20)

Continuity mistake: When Bud says "I never knew how poor I was until I started making a little money" Gekko moves his right hand to drop ash from his cigarette into the glass ash tray. When the camera angle changes to show Gekko smile, his right hand is stationary on his leg. (00:54:00)

Continuity mistake: During Bud's document signing scene there are a few glasses between Gordon Gekko and Mr Salt which are less than half full. When Kate asks Rudy to be taken for a nap the camera shows her for a few seconds, and when the camera returns to the table the levels are significantly higher, with not enough time to be refilled by the waiter.

Continuity mistake: In the elevator scene at the start of the film, the man with headphones holding a newspaper appears and disappears during different shots. (00:02:00)

Continuity mistake: At Gekko's party Bud is introduced first to Sam Ruspoli, Carmen Winters, then Stone Livingston. After Bud shakes hands with Ruspoli he extends his hand to Winters who remains seated. When the camera angle changes Bud shakes with Livingston but the handshake with Winters has been cut from the footage. The changing camera angle reveals another error. The paperwork that Bud gives Gekko inside his front door is now folded in half but the action to fold the papers has also been cut. (00:39:00)

Factual error: Following the tavern scene with his father, Bud wakes up early and loads a calendar on his computer: Monday 6 May 1985. Later that day at Jackson Steinem and Co, Marvin says "Buddy, got tickets to the Knicks game tonight. Go out and cruise some chicks afterwards, this is gonna be awesome, whaddya say?" Inviting him to a New York Knicks NBA basketball game. However on that day the Knicks never played, and secondly the playoffs had begun - by finishing second-last in the Eastern Conference, New York were eliminated from making the playoffs. (00:19:40)
