Revealing mistake: The protagonist is in the interrogation room. The clock on the wall shows 10:10, and stays that way throughout the scene, which lasts longer than a minute, close to two. (00:19:40 - 00:21:30)

Continuity mistake: When Henry meets Maggie, in official capacity this time, the conversation has continuity errors in the hand position of Brooke Burns. She points the finger at him, lowers the hand as he says "I know you!", but the hand is back up and pointing in the next shot. Likewise, when she asks him if he's a witness, her hand goes from closed to open to closed again. (00:19:20)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Set in San Francisco, the main female character keeps referring to herself (and so do others addressing her) as "Detective Maggie Price." San Francisco is the one place in the US where the correct designation for a detective is "inspector."

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Inspector Maggie Price arrives on the crime scene; the first time we see the coroner near the body, the left hand of the deceased has just a tiny bit of tablecloth underneath it. It has a much larger portion in the overhead shots that follow. (00:18:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ian Jenkin dies taking the tablecloth with him. During this sequence, the bistro owner grabs his glass of wine twice in two different shots, in one of which Pauline Duquette is still sitting down; she got up promptly just in the previous shot. (00:17:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ian Jenkin stands to make an announcement. In the wide shot, the man at headtable has his right hand on the table, but in the next close-up he's putting down a coffee cup. (00:17:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Dinner is served, the first dish at least. The person at the head of the table makes a remark to Raymond saying they should have the same bold choice; during this exchange, Henry reaches for his glass. Next shot, not a split a second has passed, and yet in the foreground you can spot to the very right of the frame that he's already drinking. (00:15:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Henry accepted the case and is in the kitchen talking to the chef. Throughout the conversation, the movement of the various extras is in compartments; when they get out of frame, they do not appear in the next shot. (00:13:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Henry does the whole Sherlock Holmes thingy deducing specific aspects of people's lives based on observation. Easy one with Maggie, guessing she's divorced. When he explains how he guessed it, her hand holding the glass from above changes position between shots. (00:07:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Maggie's clumsiness burnt the tasty dish, but the gourmet detective hands her and her unlikely date a spare portion. During the sequence that follows, her fork switches hand and is lowered or raised without continuity between cuts. (00:06:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Henry's assistant mentions Duquette calling; she has her arms lowered seen from behind, but when she replies that he didn't say the reason, she is holding the phone in front of her chest. (00:03:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Maggie arrives home and puts the shopping bags and her handbag on the kitchen isle, next to her daughter. The handbag rolls sideways, but in the following shot it is straight and with its strap adjusted differently. (00:03:00)
