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.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The morning after the confrontation with the killer, there's a big red bag next to Diana's chair in the long shots, which vanishes in the closer angle, only to reappear in a later shot. (01:18:15)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Running away from the killer, Diana and Chin randomly get attacked by snakes, because why not. You can see in close-ups of Ilenia Pastorelli's face when she screams that there is no trace of the snake wrapped around the neck of the body double in other angles. (01:01:20)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: Diana and Rita call each other on the phone when the killer is approaching, but neither calls the police. Rita might have been pressed for time because the killer's van was chasing her car (even if she'd had time, looking at the scene), but Diana definitely could have spared a few seconds after Rita hanged up, the killer was literally miles away.

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Diana is blind and not accustomed yet to her condition; multiple times throughout the movie if she bumps into something she staggers or drops what she is holding - for instance she drops the shopping bags when she bumps into the post meeting Chin. And yet when she is escaping from the police at Chin's house, she bumps into a drying rack and does not even flinch - in fact if you look closely you can see that the actress moved her hand on purpose to hit it cleanly at the proper angle that would make it fold. (00:44:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ispettrice Bajani is knocked down by the killer comically opening the car door in her face. She falls back, but in close-up she is face down on the asphalt and the gun is on the opposite side from the one you'd expect given the right-handed grip and the way the door opened. When they show the crime scene, her body is also suddenly close to her coworker's; technically we saw just her death and not what the killer could have done before leaving (we know he got her phone), but realistically there's no plausible explanation why he'd drag her several feet away and the eyewitness says nothing about the killer doing post-murder Feng Shui antics. (00:44:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ispettrice Bajani is on the phone when she shouts her colleague's name in close-up, but in the wider angles before and after her arms are held low. (00:43:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Diana is holding the calling card from Ispettrice Bajani in her left hand and her cane in the right hand when she gets the denim jacket. The close-up shows her right hand, with no cane, tucking the card in the jacket pocket. (00:39:30)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: In the original version, it's crystal clear that the last sentence from inspector Gemma Bajani after she hands her calling card (when she says that they'll be back with a search warrant) was added in post, lacking ambience and even mixed at a different level than the rest of the dialogue. (00:39:10)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: The doctor speaks to Diana in the hospital room. The scene is played like Diana just woke up and just discovered about her status, which they discuss with the medical explanation for it. She reaches out with her arms feeling up blindly (literally, of course). The first thing she does as the doctor leaves, is to put the titular black sunglasses on. She shouldn't even know they are there - and why should they be, after all. (00:18:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Diana kicking her client in the nads, the background shows the footboard of the bed behind them, but they are at the side of the bed, close to the bedstand, a moment before and after. (00:14:30)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When you are free to roam the sorority house, the texture used to represent the window in the kitchen is completely pixelated and out of perspective, in contrast with the average of the game that has overall fairly convincing representations.
