Secret Window (2004)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Mort closes the door of his jeep before he goes into the hotel room. You can hear the sound of the door closing and it's visible in the rearview-mirror. As the camera moves out of the room, the jeep door is completely open. (00:02:05)

Suggested correction: The door just didn't actually catch. I've had cars like that, especially during the winter.
Given that we see it stay closed for almost 4 seconds and hear it catch, it's a valid mistake.
If you've ever lived where it snows a lot, you'd know that door catches accumulate moisture (ice) and can open slowly, as it did in this case.

Corrected entry: The status bar of the MS Word document which can be seen on Mort Rainey's laptop is changing. Shortly before John Shooter arrives for the first time, the status-bar reads "Four days.", in the next scene at the laptop it reads "I have to talk to you". The rest of the document is exactly the same, even the cursor position is unchanged.
Correction: The first status bar title "Four days" is an automatic "saved" file name (based on the first words of the document. When we next see him, he's been laboring over the paragraph for some time. The change in the title of the document on the status bar just reflects that Mort saved it at some point between first working on it and when we next see him.

Even if you think it's a coincidence, it's still a valid trivia since it connects an actor and film to another role.
