18th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: At the start, when Data practices with the blue suction dart, in the close-up as the dart flies out we can see the mechanisms inside Data's invention. When it cuts to a tighter close-up, suddenly there is a spinning spool welded inside, which was not in the previous shot, that is retracting the orange string. (00:03:50)
18th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: During the jail breakout, when Jake tries to open the ORV's door, in the shot facing Francis he is holding the gun in his left hand as he tries to open the door for his brother with his right hand. In the next shot facing Jake just before shouts, "I don't have the handle, open the lock!" Francis's gloved left hand is empty, and next shot, the gun can be seen in his right hand. (00:01:45)
18th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: There is a rather tall plant beside the Walsh's front door, in the corner, that keeps moving from the corner to the front of the draperies, then back again, throughout the early scenes. (00:06:50)
18th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: After removing the 'copper bone' necklace from Chester Copperpot, when Mikey puts the necklace around his neck, the cord's knot moves farther up between shots.
17th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: After the final correct bone keys are played, Andy is the last to cross, and in the close-up of her feet the map actually falls behind her into the hole, but it is back up in its proper place for Andy to make that last second grab for it. (01:22:25)
17th Dec 2008
Visible crew/equipment: When Francis Fratelli walks across the beam he slips and does a flip. In the wideshot, we see the sudden appearance of a riveted platform affixed to the beam, extending from its left side, directly in front of Francis. (01:18:00)
17th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: Before the 'bathroom' break, when Mikey holds up the map, the top of it is burned off and very few musical notes are actually there along its edge, but when they reach the skeleton's bone keys the top of the map is clean, with a musical score along the entire edge. (01:29:30)
17th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: When Mikey turns the 'triple stones' and triggers the large ball, the ball is stained and dull-colored when it begins to roll, then changes to a clean, high-gloss brown as it continues on the track, but reverts back to its original coloring when it falls. (01:10:45)
17th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: When Jake Fratelli searches through Chester Copperpot's wallet, it faces the opposite direction between shots - note the driver's license. (01:08:30)
17th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: Just as Data hands Mouth the lantern and Mikey tells him to translate, Mikey stands between Data and Mouth, but next shot as Mouth says, "Copper bones. Westward foams. Triple stones," Mouth is between the other two boys. (01:09:40)
16th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: When Chunk drops the frame with the map, in the shot looking down at the frame lying on the floor, there are five narrow planks of wood flooring under the frame, but next shot there are three wide planks. (00:16:10)
16th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Perkins hands Brand the foreclosure papers and then when the two men walk away, the picket fence door is shut, but when Mikey is alone on the porch as he looks at the two men, that fence door is wide open. (00:21:10)
16th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: When Data crashes through the screen door, as Chunk begins to fall backward with the statue, the pothos plant that falls off the table is in a black plastic container, but that pothos plant was actually in a large white ceramic pot in previous shots.
16th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: When Data crashes through the screen door, sending Chunk to the floor with the statue, in the first shot there is a long bright stream of sunlight shining on the carpet, between Chunk and the stereo which disappears in the next shot. (00:08:55)
16th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: When Mikey pulls the cord to release the bowling ball, the rocking chair is parallel to the railing, facing the porch, but in the opening shot of the house it was closer to the stairs and facing the yard. (00:05:10 - 00:07:35)
16th Dec 2008
Revealing mistake: Just as Mikey opens the front door for Data's entrance, the porch upper rail is seen right outside the doorway, with the chimes hanging from it. The problem here is the long wood plank at the top corner of the porch railing, that has been added to the decorative bracket that's seen in all other shots. (00:08:55)
16th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: When Mouth stands by the door cracking up at Chunk's 'Truffle Shuffle' and in more following shots, there is nothing on the wall behind him between the hutch and doorway. After Data breaks through the screen door there is a large painting hanging there. (00:07:30)
16th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: After Brand is given the foreclosure paperwork, when everyone goes inside except Mikey all the hanging plants at the side of the house are gone, but they're back when the kids leave on their bikes. (00:21:05 - 00:23:45)
16th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: When Brand runs down the stairs to take the paperwork from Mr. Perkins, the large hanging plant that should be over Mikey is gone, but it was there when Chunk arrived and is back later. (00:07:25 - 00:20:25)
16th Dec 2008
Continuity mistake: When Chunk is picked up on the road by the Fratelli brothers and thrown into the back with the corpse, he starts screaming. His red jacket hangs off his shoulder, but rights itself between shots. (00:49:40)
