Continuity mistake: When Alicia puts flowers on her mother's tomb, she casts a shadow on the gravestone in side view, but none with the camera behind her back. (00:03:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Following the scene when they find Katie, Boyd bangs his head against the glass of the hospital window. He puts his right hand against the window, partially on the frame, and he slides it downwards. But in the shot from the side, that hand is entirely off the frame; in fact, to the side of it. (01:18:20)

Continuity mistake: Designated victim Katie is at the creepy South African CEO's mansion. She sipped quite a bit of her drink at the beginning of the scene, but once she puts it back on the table, the glass is practically full again. (01:09:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When, in a particularly bold move, Boyd pushes Farner against the doorframe, Farner laughs nervously, saying, "Obviously you don't know who you're talking to." Cole Hauser's thumb is stretched up behind Brian Kurlander's ear all of a sudden. (01:06:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the manhunt following the bar incident, Randoku pounces on Boyd, sending him to the floor. Now when you see Boyd's reaction from the front, it's pretty straightforward; he crawls a bit, just enough to reach for the gun, which he grabs so he can try and shoot the fugitive. However, the camera angle behind Boyd tells a slightly different story; he fumbles at first, sending the gun further away from him, and then he manages to grab it. In the other camera angle, the gun is always at the same spot (which doesn't match the other angle). (00:55:20)

Continuity mistake: Lucas helps traumatized bartender Terry back on her feet, holding her right hand, which becomes the left hand as the angle changes. (00:51:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The obtuse captain annoys Detective Lucas Boyd, ridiculing his theory about the 'medicine man from Africa', so Boyd gets up and leaves. He shouts his name, hand on the desk. Detective Kersch tells him, "he's onto something", and you can see at the left of the frame Peter Stormare's position changed; his hand is up, just the elbow rests on the table. (00:49:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Lucas puts the envelope on Dr. Mackles' desk the first time he visits him, it's turned in a different direction depending on the camera angle, as you can tell by the sticker. (00:34:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, an Italian detective discovers the body of a girl. He puts a hand on her shoulder to roll her over; his ring and pinky fingers are touching the girl's bare skin. Not in close-up, though; all of his fingers are on the short sleeve of her dirty T-shirt. (00:02:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Lawrence writes his own name on the ballot, his hand switches position in close-up. (01:32:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Lawrence sits on the late Pope's bed and looks at the bedstand. In close-up, the position of the objects on it (breviary, lamp, case) slightly changes. (01:21:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Lawrence is pondering the situation after the shocking revelation about the new Pope. He spots on the floor of the chapel one of the papal turtles. The animal is on a different part of the marble floor between shots. (01:50:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The first evening, the supporters of Cardinal Bellini are discussing his chances on the first ballot and the work ahead. They are interrupted by the nuns opening the door. In the shot where they close the door, some cardinals have changed position all of a sudden. (00:26:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the table of the Italian cardinals, Lawrence calmly paraphrases Cardinal Tedesco's claim that the next Pope should be from Italy. Sergio Castellitto drinks from his glass, out of focus in the foreground. He then distances the glass from his lips, fully extending his arm. However, in the reverse shot, his glass is still close by. (00:25:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Tremblay tells Lawrence that he delayed him being called to the Papal residence because he wanted to ascertain all the facts first, the folder in his hand suddenly opens between shots. (00:06:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Kraven casually sniffs a couple and ruins their relationship. He then sits down with his brother; Fred Hechinger's hand keeps changing position between shots, holding a fork or not.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During appetizers, John Leguizamo's assistant puts her work phone on the table to let him know she is resigning. Leguizamo is holding his glass when the camera is behind him, and a spoon when he's seen from the front. (00:13:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Alain Delon tries on some jackets. He finds a briefcase and opens it. You can see the contents of the briefcase before it cuts to a closer view; in this closer view, a stack of letters moves, and an orange case vanishes entirely. (00:27:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After the accident, the wife, still bedridden, is talking to the doctor. The doctor has a stethoscope across his shoulders; too bad in some shots the disc is on his left shoulder, in others (such as his dramatic walk-away shot) on the opposite. (00:02:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Dan's business partner reintroduces, for the first time, his secretary. He then has to leave and pats Dan on his way out. This is a rather bad transition between shots because it's rather obvious Jeb's hand is on Dan's arm in the first shot and on his shoulder in the next. (00:22:55)
