Continuity mistake: During the speedboat chase, when Castor Troy (as Sean Archer) shoots up the white speedboat that Sean (as Castor Troy) drives, there are numerous bullet holes on its starboard side. Four shots later, when he hits the box on the rear seat, those bullet holes on the starboard side are gone. (02:04:15)
24th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When Sean (as Castor Troy) stabs Castor (as Sean Archer) in the leg, the type of speargun actually changes between shots, it is an entirely different model. The spear tip differs as well.

Revealing mistake: On the train to school, when HRH are in their cabin, among the different angles that are presented during this scene are the shots in which the camera either faces the large cabin window or the aisle window, directly opposite it. It is not what is seen that is the problem, it is what we don't see. When the camera faces the large cabin window we should see the scenic reflection of the window opposite it, as the train speeds along (and vice versa the aisle window), but we don't. What we do see reflected is the light colored wall beneath the blacked out window. The camera filming the shots from this angle is positioned at that window and in order not to see the outline of the camera/crew, the window was covered.

Revealing mistake: The first morning, when Robert takes Giselle to work, they enter atrium of the Time Warner Center (the well-known statue of the female Giselle admires is one of a set, the other is male), which is located at 8th Ave and Broadway, at the southwest corner of Central Park. Upstairs, when Sam tells Robert that she can't find where Giselle is from, and then when Giselle speaks to Phoebe, the very distinctive Johnson Lipstick Building (it's reddish and has three receding oval-shaped levels) at 53rd and 3rd is seen outside the window. The office scene is obviously not filmed at Time Warner, because it's impossible to be in an office at 8th and Broadway, on the West Side, and be next door to a building located at 53rd and 3rd, on the East Side. (00:35:40 - 00:40:35)
20th Jul 2008
Other mistake: In his search of Giselle, when Edward knocks on doors 209 (hissing cat), 405 (barking dog), and 714 (purple guy), the funny thing is that in all three close-ups the three door jambs/trim have the same paint glob markings. The actual doors were changed, but the jamb/trim remained the same for all three shots. (Only visible on widescreen DVD). (01:04:05)
20th Jul 2008
Visible crew/equipment: At the apartment, after Giselle falls asleep on the couch, when Robert says, "Just because she has on a funny dress, doesn't mean she's a princess," and a few shots later, when he stands to call for a taxi, the side of the camera and the boom mic are reflected in the window to Robert's right. The boom mic moves in both shots, but the camera moves only in the second. (Only visible on widescreen DVD.) (00:22:10)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When Giselle opens the window in Robert's apartment, in the exterior shot, to sing for furry cleaning help, there is a set of three windows to her right, with a balcony. Odd thing is, in the interior shots the window she sang from is to the left of the couch, but to the right of the couch there are three French doors, not windows, that open to the balcony. (00:25:20)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: During her first morning at Robert's apartment, Giselle has made a gown out of the living room draperies, but the remaining drapes on the windows are a very faded turquoise floral and the color of Giselle's dress material is a bright turquoise floral, which is actually more similar in color to the lamp on the table. (00:32:00)
20th Jul 2008
Visible crew/equipment: At Robert's apartment, when he and Morgan stand by the window just as Edward takes Giselle's hands and later kneels, the actors' two T-marks are visible. The pink marker was for Giselle in the previous shots, and Robert and Morgan stand behind the orange marker. (Only visible on fullscreen DVD.) (01:09:35)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: During the cleanup, when Giselle opens the center French doors and stands on the balcony to sing, the window she sang from earlier is directly beside the balcony, to the right. The problem here is, in the interior shots there is a wall that is about 7-8 ft wide, between the French doors and window, where the couch is. (00:27:10)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When animated Giselle happily sings and dances, in the shot before she places the red rose on her "one true love", the room's round window is behind her. The very large vase with the bouquet of flowers is gone from the shelf beside the window, as are the other objects on the lower shelf. (00:03:10)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When Giselle gives the doves the heart shaped wreath to deliver to Nancy, as they fly off both sides of the wreath are seen. When Nancy thanks Robert for the flowers, the blooms differ. (00:50:30 - 00:52:35)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: After the turtle gives animated Giselle the red rose, she places it on the jacket of her "one true love". In the following shots, the rose repeatedly disappears and then reappears, particularly in the close-ups. (00:03:10)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: After Morgan smacks Robert with the pillow to wake him up, in the shot from the bedroom, she runs past the bedroom doorway pulling his left hand, but next shot, from the hallway, she's now pulling his right hand. (00:28:30)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When Giselle tosses the sword and the tip catches Robert's sleeve below the cuff, in the following shots the position of its point through the sleeve keeps differing. Then, after Robert loses his grip and Giselle breaks his fall, as they both start to slide Robert's sleeve is intact, but in the next shot the entire sleeve suddenly disappears. (01:34:25)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When Giselle falls off the billboard platform, as she hangs onto the ledge in the close-ups the metal surface is completely dry, whereas everything else is wet from the pouring rain. There is no canopy protecting the platform. (00:19:00)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: After Pip knocks the apple martini off the table, there is a close-up of him standing on Giselle's plate and the knife is beside the plate with the fork beside the knife. When Robert calls for help, in Pip's next close-up the utensils are placed the opposite way, with the fork beside the plate. (01:00:15)
20th Jul 2008
Factual error: When animated Giselle begins to sing and brushes her hair, the reflection of her "one true love" is visible in the mirror. Problem is that its image is not reversed in the reflection. (00:02:00)
20th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When the animated old hag pushes Giselle into the well, as Giselle begins to transform her only jewelry is a necklace, but when she lands on the manhole cover she is also wearing earrings. (00:09:40 - 00:11:15)
20th Jul 2008
Visible crew/equipment: When Giselle is up on the Palace Casino billboard platform, after Robert shows up she says, "I was wondering if maybe you," and we are able to see under her huge hoop skirt. There are at least three long wide safety straps dangling behind her thighs, which are not in previous or following shots when we can see under her hoop skirt. (00:18:50)
