Continuity mistake: While Francis is sitting on his bed "getting his work done", he appears to be holding a magazine. When it changes to a frontal shot he is holding a legal pad. (00:09:00)
Other mistake: The Mongolian guy is supposed to be knocked out cold - however, he appears to smile upon being knocked down.
Continuity mistake: When Hugh Grant first goes underground and is interrogated by the "Mole" people, his arms are held behind his back and the hair on his forehead changes between shots. His hair appears combed back in several shots and some wisps hanging down in others. They alternate back and forth between shots.
Continuity mistake: When the preacher is in his car talking to Dudley, how far wound up the window is differs.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, when Jimmy Muir is playing for Sheffield United against Manchester United, Annie and Ken stand up to cheer Jimmy on at what looks like a packed stadium. However, when they stand up, you can see dozens of empty seats behind them.
Continuity mistake: Throughout the flight with the seagulls attached to the peach stem, the length of the peach stem gets shorter and then longer and then shorter again.
Continuity mistake: Upset with her husband's growing obsession with his mistress Maya, Tara the Queen attempts to commit suicide by slicing her wrists while bathing. She makes deep cuts in both wrists. Maya rescues Tara the Queen when she enters the Queen's chambers. Two scenes later, Tara the Queen attends the execution of Maya's lover. Magically, Tara's arms are unbandaged and unscarred. The execution took place only days after her attempted suicide.
Factual error: Although the movie supposedly takes place in Blaine, Missouri, you can see Texas flags in certain shots. The movie was filmed in Texas.
Visible crew/equipment: A safety cable and harness are visible during the fight scene, on top of the industrial complex.
Continuity mistake: When Emma and Mr Knightley kiss for the first time near the end, they are both tilting their heads to the right when the camera angle is from Emma's perspective. Then, the instant the camera changes to Mr Knightley's perspective, they are suddenly tilting their heads to the left.
Factual error: Toward the end of the film, Matthew McConnaughey is in his office late at night and hears someone outside (it turns out to be his wife). However, McConnaughey draws a revolver from his desk drawer and we can hear (but not see) him pulling the hammer back to cock the gun. Problem is: When pulling back the hammer on a revolver, the cylinder turns to rotate the next bullet into position. The cylinder did not turn. The sound we heard was obviously added by the sound editors after the scene was shot.
Continuity mistake: When Cameron Diaz is telling her husband about Kent, there is a boat outside the window. The boat moves in a weird way. It goes from one side to the other in the same camera angle.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the young girl has Japanese characters painted on her face. They differ slightly between shots - e.g. the square between her eyebrows moves significantly. (00:03:20)
Continuity mistake: When Lee goes to see her father, she gets up to leave and Cahill has his cigarette in the left side of his mouth, when the scene cuts to Lee leaving it is in the right side of his mouth. When they do the close-up it is back in the left side of his mouth.
Factual error: Jerry Falwell and Charles Keating never knew each other personally in real life.
Continuity mistake: When the kids take Mr. Roth's car, the lights inside the car turns on. When it cuts, the lights are off.
Visible crew/equipment: In various shots during the basketball scenes the camera zooms in on the cardboard cutout people that were used to make the Boston Garden appear more crowded.
Audio problem: Sydney is walking towards Jimmy, shooting - there are 4 bangs but only 3 flashes from the gun. (01:34:25)
Other mistake: In the scene when Gunther jumps in the guy's car who doesn't pay him, he takes off the collection sheet and the holes for the clips are on the bottom. All holes for collecting books are on the top, so he is reading the collecting card up-side down.
Continuity mistake: When Marty first brings home Shiloh and his mother asks him to hand his dirty shirt to her, as she hands him a clean one, the two exchange shirts twice. They first exchange shirts on a shot over Marty's shoulder, then they cut to over his mom's shoulder and the same exchange happens again. (00:09:15)
