Continuity mistake: When the flaming severed arm falls in front of Lars and Sigrit, its position is different between shots; it fell across the horizontal lines of the railing's shadow, but in close-up it's parallel to them, and when they kick it, it rolls over obviously different spots (easy to tell by the width of the shadow).

Continuity mistake: During the exhibition of "21st Century Viking", one of the bar patrons calls the attention of the others; his hand changes position on the glass between shots, the guy with a shaved head and short black beard is holding his beer with his right hand instead of both, etc. (00:21:45)

Continuity mistake: Neils Brongus puts next to him in the conference room the DVD with Demi Lovato's performance. The DVD is placed in the first shot on top of the remote control, but already in the next shot it's off it, and it keeps bouncing between these two positions and different ones depending from the camera angles. (00:13:20)

Continuity mistake: Olaf drives away after chewing off the parking ticket. Lars sighs and concurs that his dad IS in fact ashamed of him. He has his hands in his pants, but when in the next shot Sigrit tells him it's not true, his hands are in the upper pockets of his jacket. (00:08:30)

Continuity mistake: When Will Ferrell and Pierce Brosnan have their conversation about the house in front of the tomb, the natural light changes very between shots (when Brosnan says "I make my money fishing" Ferrell's shoulder and face are fully lit by direct sunlight, gone at the next cut). (00:06:30)

Character mistake: When the camera pans to the frame containing the picture of Lars with his departed mother, the caption says "In memory of our beloved mother Mirra Gunnarsdottir", with a plain O. On the cross, her name is Mirra Gunnarsdóttir. It's two different letters, and it'd be pretty strange to honor the memory of your mother printing a photo with her name in the wrong form. (00:01:10)

Continuity mistake: During Abba's performance, the toy young Lars is playing with changes position between shots. Specifically, when the song says "At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender", the wooden tile laid flat on the step is pointed towards the camera, and after the cut it moved 90°. (00:01:35)

Continuity mistake: Abba is about to perform "Waterloo" and one of the women hushes the others spreading her arms. Most beer bottles in that particular shot have gotten their cap back on. (00:01:20)

Factual error: At the beginning of the move Lars' family is watching Abba performing Waterloo, live. The day is, as the caption shows, April 6th, 1974. The first time Eurovision was broadcasted live in Iceland was in 1983. (00:00:10)
