Revealing mistake: The old alarm clock on Gal Gadot's nightstand shows the right time but the seconds hand is not moving. (00:41:55)

Continuity mistake: In the basement, Jerico passes the brush to Jill; the bristles are pointed up, then down. (01:11:45)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: As Vers is about to punch the person dressed like the Skrull, a woman in a flowery pantsuit is visible in the background, behind him. Next shot and she is walking behind Vers making a rather conspicuous horrified facepalm, and coming from the wrong direction. (00:33:50)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: When Vers grabs the man with the purple sweater at the station, she lowers her punching arm in the view from behind, but she still has her arm up ready to hit him in the following shot. (00:33:45)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: Coming out of the train, Vers moves through the crowd. She passes by the same person with a petrol windbreaker, reading a newspaper. She moves past him but he's still in front of her in the next shot. (00:33:40)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Factual error: Check out when Vers is about to exit the train car after the Skrull is so kind to show her their new form. The man on the left of the frame is reading the September 1995 issue of Men's Health, a couple months too early considering the date of the movie. (00:32:05)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: When Vers throws the old lady against the roof of the train, the guy with a sleeveless shirt next to the guy making funny faces keeps switching position between shots, between cowering in fear behind his newspaper and having the newspaper hand down against the armrest. (00:31:25)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Deliberate mistake: The Stan Lee cameo contains a factual error; he's checking out of the Mallrats script and rehearses his lines, but despite coming out later in the year, the movie (and therefore Lee's cameo) had already been filmed, since movie shooting ended in April. Unless we have to assume Stan Lee carried with him all the time scripts of movies he'd been in and randomly read his scenes aloud. (00:30:45)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Factual error: Chasing the Skrull who shot her from the top of the building, Vers jumps on the train. The station is marked both by the platform and by the sign shown as the train takes off, as Douglas Station. When the chase started though, Surfer Dude Skrull was parkouring on a rooftop where you could see in the vicinity the Wells Fargo bank tower from NoHo. That would have been over a 20 mile pursuit on foot. (00:29:25)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Plot hole: Fury comments on Vers' lack of weapon and issues radio messages about her, referring to her as a single 'suspect' during the whole chase, ignoring entirely the fact that a sniper shot him with a futuristic weapon as well. In fact, the weapon is a complete non sequitur and random element; we saw the Skrull emerge from the sea, unarmed and no Skrull weapon is shown in the rest of the movie. And the sniper runs away without it, presumably leaving the weapon or remains of it for SHIELD to study (and do nothing with it for the next decade).

Captain Marvel (2019)
Factual error: Vers is on the 'phone' with her Kree crew from a public phone on the outside of a club with plenty of posters appropriate for the time period (Foo Fighters @The Fillmore, REM's tour for Monster, etc) but is also plastered with posters for "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness", a Smashing Pumpkins album which came out at the end of October of 1995, months later than when the movie supposedly takes place (June).

Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: When Vers lands in the Blockbuster, the establishing shot of the street shows the cardboard cutout of True Lies facing the outside from the window (Jamie Lee Curtis on the left of Schwarzenegger). When Vers blasts it, it is facing her, so faces the inside of the store. (00:23:10)
6th Oct 2019
Captain Marvel (2019)
Other mistake: Vers enters the second escape pod. She crash lands on Earth, inside Blockbuster, at night. Somehow, the 4 Skrulls are shown later in the movie as landing together, and in broad daylight. That's nonsensical, considering Vers left behind an exploding ship, so they all left together. And one left even before she did (first escape pod). (00:23:10 - 00:25:00)
6th Oct 2019
Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: Vers KOs the Skrull she does the warcry thing at, and then another one on the corridor steps. She is then seen fighting from the perspective of the corridor to her right, but there are no Skrulls in sight against that door, while at least one was already lying down there. There are two when the camera gets back closer, and when she neutralizes the last one who bounces onto his own stun mace, there are again two, and she somehow got between the last one and the others. (00:20:30)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Other mistake: One blast of the stun weapon by the Skrulls is all it takes to KO Carol long enough to be kidnapped, taken aboard the ship and brain probed, but in the fight scene that ensues she gets hit multiple times and just shrugs it off like it's nothing.

Continuity mistake: In the flashback of her military training, when she lies flat on her back after falling from the rope, the shadow on Brie Larson's chest changes between shots. (00:15:40)
6th Oct 2019
Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: During the flashback about the kart race, the protagonist gets passed by another vehicle, number 5. He gives her the sensible advice to slow down, which makes her accelerate. The kart is shown moving to the left and rear ending number 5, which is curious because she had already been passed by another kart in the meantime (driven by a guy with a green striped shirt) who is nowhere to be seen. He has number 3 and was dead last earlier. (00:14:55)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: Vers early in the morning the first day shows up at Yon-Rogg's door. Jude Law is rubbing his shoulder in the front view, while he has his fingers stretched behind his ear in the reverse shot. (00:02:15)
6th Oct 2019
Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: In the dream sequence at the beginning of the movie, Vers is looking at the bloodstained palm of her hand. It turns into the back of her hand immediately after - which could be fine especially in a dream/flashback scene, but the hand is also differently marked with the blue goo - in the POV shot her middle finger had barely a little spot on the pad, while in the following shot it has blood all over. (00:01:05)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Other mistake: Vers saves Fury, blowing a hole in the ceiling and somehow getting to the upper floor (why she does not blast holes for the remaining floors as well is unclear). They should be then at -4 from the -5 they were in, but they are shown ascending a flight of stairs, at the top of which Coulson lets them enter the door for level -4.

Suggested correction: They haven't even seen the other suspect and can only chase 1 person at a time, he only radios it in once. The weapon is an arm weapon that disappears under the cloak of the human form.

The weapon is a rifle, (he looks like he is using two hands when he uses it, check out at 29:14) that he did not have to begin with, and at no point in the movie Skrulls seem to be able to conceal weapons in their suits - if they were, ironically enough the 'identification' Carol jokingly brings later to Fury blasting the juke-box would be wrong. It's unnacounted before and after the incident. As for the first part, I can't agree on the fact that they haven't seen the other suspect: Fury turns around before the blasts is fired and at least they know they were shot at from an unknown perp, even more reason to instantly radio about it. The whole dynamic of the scene brings instantly the sole focus on Vers (understandably from a movie logic perspective, but I am here to nitpick how unnatural it is), to the point that he asks 'Rook' if he has seen her weapon, as if being shot at with energy blasts from rooftops were normal, and he does not say anything about the other person.

They may not show concealing their weapons that way but they do show the ability to hide various large objects including cattle prods under their disguises without effort (like in the fight against the Kree earlier). Their camouflage ability is highly sophisticated. It won't be difficult to conceal any weapon. As for the part about the sniper never being mentioned, you have a point but I question if it's really a "plot hole" rather than a simple character error. Fury focuses on Carol, he could be doing that for a lot of reasons, the best one I can come up with is that is the suspect they have a face on and fired a powerfull blast without a weapon. Logical they are interested in her, enough to make sure she doesn't get away from them.

Ehh, they were concealing the weapons under big cloaks, not making them appear out of thin air around their hands. When they land on Earth they are with just their normal suits with no camo. I think that if they had the power to do that sort of trick with their guns it would have been set up earlier, fighting against Carol everyone either starts with a weapon or does not, nobody is shown summoning a weapon out of the suit. I agree on the matter of Fury's behaviour being more accurately a character error, considering that other meaningful members of his team are Skrulls at that point. Distinctions can be blurry especially when I don't break down a topic focused on a single event in the movie ("Skrull sniping with unexplained weapon nobody seems to care about") into 2-3 different separate submissions to the website.

The cloaks were part of the camouflage. At one point they are all wearing cloaks, the next they are not and are carrying weapons. If they can do that to conceal weapons, they can do a lot more.
