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).

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
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)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
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.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
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)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
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)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
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)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
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)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
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)
8th Jan 2023
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
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)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
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)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
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)
