Continuity mistake: The little Nono is singing the nursery rhyme in front of the cafè. One of the nazis tosses him a coin, while the other puts the cigarette down, but at the cut he's already taking a puff.
Continuity mistake: After RVD is shot by the lone motorcyclist he goes home to take care of his wound. You can see that he was shot in his LEFT shoulder. When he goes to the bathroom and takes off his shirt, the wound is on his RIGHT shoulder. After bandaging up his wound, he finds his wife bound and gagged and his daughter has been taken. He goes out to the garage and you can see his LEFT shoulder is now bandaged. (00:58:50 - 01:01:55)
Character mistake: When Johnny and Cleo leave the Chateau and head for Vegas, they are shown getting on the 101 freeway North (in Hollywood) and are coming from the east and turning right onto the freeway. The Chateau is in West Hollywood so to turn onto the freeway where they did, they would have come from the west.
Factual error: When Luke puts the starting cables on the battery of the pick-up truck sparks fly from the connection. However since he hasn't connected the cables to anything on the other end yet no sparks should be visible. Next to that the battery is nearly dead so there is no power to give the sparks in the first place.
Factual error: While measuring the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) being given off by Stonehenge in the film, a scientist exclaims that the frequency is increasing to over 100 Gigahertz, and is approaching radioactivity. This is absurd. EMF is radiation of electromagnetic waves over a wide spectrum of frequencies. Its strength depends on the frequency at which it is measured, with no relation to radioactivity whatsoever. It has a magnetic and an electrical component, but no nuclear breakdown as such.
Factual error: When the Senator is looking at the rent ledger, there are entries for each property as well as the date that money was collected. One of the dates is 2/29/74, yet 1974 was not a leap year. The only leap years in that decade were 1972 and 1976. (00:56:30)
Other mistake: The hospice male nurse Juan Is credited as Julio in the credits at the end.
Revealing mistake: When John gets his "birthday wishes" from the crazy 8, you can see he is wearing a black pair of jocks under his sleep shorts.
Other mistake: Blake jumped through the window, shattering the glass and propelling many fragments through the air and towards/onto Edgar and Zoe, but no-one got cut. (00:34:10)
Visible crew/equipment: When Mister and the Boy are keeping watch in the woods, just after Boy asks "What are we going to do when the baby comes?" They heart a noise and stand up, as the camera follows Mister you can see lights in the distance, even though they are supposed to be alone in the mountains. (01:20:00 - 01:21:00)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, when Robert has been resurrected as a tricycle, the bell and ribbon keep moving back and forth from the right handle bar to the left one.
Continuity mistake: When Charlie is coaching Sam in baseball at the beginning of the movie, they get on the road and he beckons to him. In the first cut, people in the background change (most obviously, a guy is crossing the street behind him, but vanishes in the second shot). (00:07:45)
Continuity mistake: During the scene on the beach, the shadows lengthen and shorten dramatically from shot to shot.
Other mistake: In the middle of the movie, there is a scene with the two moms on the couch talking. One mom (red hair lady) wears a necklace with a charm that says "love." There are two camera shots in this scene, one looking directly at her, and another from over her left shoulder. Depending on the shot, the 'love' charm is either visible or tucked under the top of her shirt. This swaps back and forth.
Factual error: Close to the end of the film Michael Reed is traveling from Philadelphia to New York City by train early in the morning. The sun shines on his face from left side which is impossible in the morning, as the left side of his face faces west during that direction of travel (from south to north).
Factual error: A delightful movie that theoretically takes place in the vicinity of Portland Oregon, over a period of many months. The problem is, that at no time does it ever rain, and anyone who has lived near Portland knows it rains half of the year.
Factual error: As Ruben gets from his colleague the newspaper with the headline about the suppression of the 'douane', you can read just by his head "Mardi 17." It's 1986 as stated, and the date the news is referring to can only be February 17, when the Single European Act was signed, producing the headline shown. But it was not a Mardi (Tuesday), but a Lundi (Monday). (00:01:50)
Factual error: Golf carts (or buggies, as they are known in the UK), are not permitted at St. Andrews without a medical reason. The characters to not appear to suffer from any apparent disabilities. (00:11:30)
Factual error: When they land back at the airport you see the door open and hear the sound of the engines. However at the rear of the left engine you see the engine cover (red flag moving in the wind) still in place. The engine cover still on while the engine is running could cause serious damage or it would be blown out. It would be removed during preparation checks.
Continuity mistake: The fan on the duty desk stops and starts randomly between camera shots. (00:54:10)
