Continuity mistake: When Max first reaches down to Bastian the dog in the office, Bastian has his face pressed to the ground and is licking the blood stain. The scene cuts to a profile angle, and suddenly, Bastian's head is no longer pressed to the ground, and is instead lifted almost all the way up.

Question: Was any of the movie shot on film? IMDb has Arri and RED digital cameras listed, but there are couple scenes (especially early on) that seem to have noticeable graininess that looks much more like traditional film grain than the digital "noise" you sometimes get in modern movies.

Continuity mistake: When Max spits out the squeaky toy at Annie, she goes from facing downwards to facing up at Max between cuts.

Audio problem: When Max is biting down on the squeaky toy during the bullet extraction scene, the way the toy squeaks doesn't really "match" with his biting. Those types of toys wouldn't let out comically long squeaks like that from a single bite down. (Obviously it was exaggerated for comedic effect).

Continuity mistake: When Annie is showing Max what she got at the convenience store, at one point she pulls a pocket-knife out of the bag and puts it in her hand. The shot cuts to a different angle, and the pocket knife vanishes.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the chase, Annie and Max are in the car. Annie is driving and Max is in the passenger seat because he was shot. Annie screams "I hate game night!" and the scene cuts to an exterior wideshot of the car driving down the road. If you look closely, you can see in the wideshot that only one person is in the car - a man who is driving. Even though in the previous shot Annie was driving and both she and Max were in the car.

Continuity mistake: When Annie is dancing around at the bar, the way the scene is tightly cut makes some minor mistakes with where she is in the room. For example, at one point, she is in front of one kidnapper, but then is immediately in front of the next kidnapper between shots. There's a few other little small moments like this throughout the scene. It's hard to notice because of the tight framing, but it's there.

Continuity mistake: When Ryan and Sarah are looking at the clue card that says "Look in Your Jacket Pocket," pay close attention. In the closeup of the card, there's some stuff right behind it, only inches away. Then it cuts to a wideshot, and you can see that there's nothing right behind it. The only things on the table are about a foot away.

Continuity mistake: When Annie and Max are chatting at the bar, watch Annie's arms. (She is leaning against her hand.) In the shots facing her, her red sweater is sticking out of the sleeve of her jacket. In the shots facing away, her red sweater is NOT sticking out of the sleeve of her jacket.

Continuity mistake: When Ryan shoves the table under the doorknob so Kevin and Michelle can't get out of the obvious, pay attention. In the wideshot, you can see that the table is a good 4-6" under the doorknob. Then it cuts to a closeup, and suddenly the table is only about 1" under the doorknob.

Game Night (2018)
Revealing mistake: When Brooks throws the kidnapper against the poster case and then punches him, it's painfully obvious his punch didn't connect. His fist is a good 6-8" away from the kidnapper's face. But they still play a punching sound effect and act like he got punched.

Continuity mistake: When Kevin and Michelle tease Ryan about "needing the validation of Instagram models, " watch closely.
