Continuity mistake: Miles removes his hand from Andi's shoulder after her icy stare twice in two separate shots. (00:24:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Speaking to Miles for the first time, Blanc foes for a handshake but Miles' sunglasses switch hands. And when Blanc sidesteps to let him face directly Andi, he lowers his arms, but they are up again in the next shot. And then, Edward Norton's right hand gives a thumbs up in the reaction shot, with the same arm he just lowered before. (00:20:55)

Continuity mistake: Duke mentions Benoit Blanc 's presence to Miles for the first time on the beach, and at the same time his girlfriend is walking away from the eccentric billionaire. The next shot does not properly follow; Dave Bautista 's hand is back on top of his hat, Whiskey and Ed Norton 's arn positions don't match. (00:20:45)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: Miles is playing on the beach a tune that Birdie Jay recognizes instantly as Blackbird by the Beatles, and Miles flexes saying that it's the exact guitar Paul wrote it on. That'd be difficult though, since it's a right handed guitar, and McCartney plays left handed (albeit he can play right handed too). You could argue that this is one of the hints that Miles is not very smart. (00:20:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Birdie hugs Miles on the beach, his shades are in a different position by the guitar headstock between shots. (00:19:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the scene on the pier that sets the movie in Greece, in most close-ups on Benoit Blanc you can see lines tied to both the bitt and the metal ring behind him, while the other angles show no cable or ropes secured and nothing on that side of the pier. (00:13:25)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: Blanc and Lionel are talking about Andi on the ship headed to the island. "In one legal move, he cut her out completely", Lionel says, but the second half of the phrase his chin (as you can tell by his conspicuous beard) is not moving. (00:18:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The Efficient Man portrayed by Ethan Hawke tells the guests to remove the masks. Birdie Jay removed it already in the wider angle of the pier, but she removes it again in the next shot when he shoots her in the mouth. (00:16:20)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Dave Bautista announces that he has arrived. There's a close-up of the kickstand, and you can actually see scratches on the asphalt from previous takes (spotted also by Rian Johnson himself in his video breakdown of the arrival scene for the Vanity Fair youtube channel). (00:15:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Hearing his name, Claire asks Benoit Blanc if he's THAT famous detective, the one who solved "the thing and the thing." In the shot where Blanc admits to indeed having solved the thing and the thing, you can see that she pulls up the facemask, but her hand has yet to come up and touch it in the next shot. (00:14:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: On the pier, Kate Hudson calls Blanc "Stranger danger." The Greek porter Nikos makes a comment about it, hands on a suitcase, and Lionel is carrying a bag next to him. Brief reaction shot to a masked Daniel Craig that denies that, and not only Nikos' hands switched position and are on a different suitcase (which could have happened even if it's not what the posture implies), but Lionel is also bringing again the same bag. (00:14:25)

Sammo ★

Deliberate mistake: One of the first shots in Greece shows Benoit Blanc and Lionel standing on the pier. As director Rian Johnson himself says in an interview for the Vanity Fair Youtube channel, "Matches nothing else in the scene lighting-wise, but it's gorgeous soooo...who cares." (00:13:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Benoit Blanc tells his partner to get the door and unconvincingly says he is not in the bath, his left-hand changes blatantly position between shots. Throughout the whole scene in fact you can see Daniel Craig's hand by the second laptop in the side views but not on the close-up of the remote call. (00:12:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the Disruptors flick the final switch, Lionel's finger in the split screen shot comes from the right side of the frame, where the "7" is. In the shot of his desk though he is positioned on the opposite side of the box. (00:09:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The friends crack the final puzzle of the box and it open. Look at Lionel's desk when that happens; the shadows and the distance between the box itself and the crazy fax papers ("Nootrodic Nasal Spray"?) change between shots. (00:09:15)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: When Lionel tells the others to lift the button at the center of the compass, you can notice that the music box is still playing, but the drum of the machine is still. (00:08:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Claire calls Lionel at 14:07 asking him about the puzzle box, the phone in close-up is in a spot far away from any edge, while in the wider angle it's practically on the edge. (00:04:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: An odd creepy guy ("Vampire in a tuxedo" according to the credits) gives Birdie an approving nod when she protests against the "woke" people that don't let her racial slur slide. She says "Love you, yes!" pointing at him, with the elbow of the other arm fully lying on the lap of the girl on the couch. Next shot and her pose changed entirely, no physical contact with other guests. (00:03:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The very first shot with Kate Hudson ends with her shouting for her assistant Peg. Look at the position of her fingers on the glass, very close to the rim. She is still shouting in the reverse angle but her grip on the glass changed. (00:03:05)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: The protagonist with her kid stops a car with two guys, in the middle of the night in an isolated country road. Both the adult and the kid scream that a dangerous maniac is chasing them. So naturally, the two guys (who do believe them, it's not that they are being dismissive) offer them some hot coffee, and they drink it right there in the middle of the street, not dialling for help, getting in the car to drive away or anything, because that's what normal people do when you tell them a serial killer is nearby; stop for a hot cuppa.
