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: 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.

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)
