Continuity mistake: The amount of water in Paco's glass varied, including increasing (back to about one-third full) after he drank some. (00:39:18 - 00:39:55)
Visible crew/equipment: When Erick asks Sam what she's reading, the shadow of the camera can be seen on the wall next to him. (01:27:51)
Other mistake: Judy is singing on stage with some showgirls. She is singing into a wired microphone. At the end of the song she twirls around twice, but the microphone does not appear to get wrapped around her. (00:49:35)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the waitress notices that Emilio for the first time in years has not completed his Sudoku yet. The sequence begins with her stopping by him and waving her hand, upturned, but the hand is then on his shoulder. She repeats the gesture at the cut. (00:01:50)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of Aiai Liu's flashback, she is on a boat. Fellow prostitute Ping leans forward towards Hua saying he should treat them all fairly. Aiai she is intently cleaning a fingernail in one shot, immediately after she has the same hand placed on her cheek. (00:32:45)
Other mistake: The on-line "Ventura Space Competition Entry Form" asked for the applicant's "full name", but did not have a space for "middle name." The format of the questionnaire was also inconsistent. There were forced-choice (yes or no) health-related questions and age groups (21-30, 31-50, and 51-65) but they were unequal (9, 19, and 14 years, respectively); the age groups should have been consistent, such as a span of 14 years per group (21-35, 36-50, 51-65). "Are you in good health?" was open-ended. (00:21:55)
Deliberate mistake: The prisoners in the dark dungeon would not be able to read the letter (to Miss Dudley from Jason Flemyng that the carrier pigeon had) or see such a clear reflection by pouring water on the stone floor and holding the letter (written backwards) by the water. The room was suddenly lighter when doing so, but it wasn't clear where the light was coming from. Also, sunlight coming through the small window would not beam straight down along the wall. (00:07:23)
Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning, two dumb kids looking for drugs are forced to make a spontaneous donation to the cult. Before the stream starts the pink polo one does not have the scooter on his shoulder, which is back when the stream starts, then off again.
Continuity mistake: Gabriela's luggage crashes down the slope into the vehicle of the beefy co-protagonist. During the scene, the bra on the pickup's hood is positioned in an obvious different way (also coming lower onto the fender's arc) between shots. (00:13:00)
Other mistake: The opening (like most of the movie) does not make much sense, so you can pick your kind of mistake here; the special effects are cartoonishly bad throughout the big firework explosions. When John Abraham is knocked through a window by a rocket (which takes off with a 270° turn without even rising) to the face, he gets up unscathed and starts screaming for Junky and Chandu. The camera moves from them to him and he's running with the girl in the red costume in front of him (which was way behind, safely, when he crashed through the window, so already that is wrong), and then there's a wider shot. In that shot, you can tell that Adams is bumping into the same people as before and the distances between the extras are all wrong. (00:06:35)
Continuity mistake: When we see Christmas Flint with her dad and Miss Rayleen for the first time, she's watching them bicker, her chin perched on the back of her hand. Which hand, though? It's her left hand for the greater part of the scene, but in the shot when Jim Gaffigan is saying "I got to find my pants. You move my pants?" it's the right one. (00:05:00)
Continuity mistake: When Emma is with the clients at the beginning of the movie, Doug's ginger pen once he mentions 'rebranding' is either in his hand or on the notepad, depending on the angle of the shot. (00:04:10)
Continuity mistake: Sira pours Sprite into a glass until it is about three-fourths full, but the glass is closer to half-full when he hands it to his mother. (00:02:00)
Visible crew/equipment: Ali's assistant sits in her office as she goes to apologise to him. But in the reflection of his glasses you can see the green screen which I suppose is meant be the windows of the office. (01:32:00)
Continuity mistake: After Amy asks Laurie why she shouldn't marry Fred, her right hand moves from the edge of her sketchpad to the center. (01:15:37)
Factual error: The protagonist wakes up supposedly at 5 AM of December 2nd in New York City. Outside, the sun is shining, almost two hours too early. (00:00:15)
Continuity mistake: The dorky protagonist just bumped into the bike shop girl. She tells him "It's all good, man", to which he replies asking how's the bike. Behind him, a woman with a dog makes her appearance. Over 10 seconds of conversation pass, and the woman is still where she was, but in the shot that follows, when she says "I'm Cate, by the way", the woman warped past him, and is now behind her to the opposite end of the sidewalk. (00:07:15)
Continuity mistake: Higinio emerges from his hideout to strangle with the measuring tape the man who is raping his wife. During the scene, the tape is above or below the shirt's collar and with a dangling loose end coming and going. (01:02:20)
Continuity mistake: Catherine is in Brittany's flat and she sits down telling a bit about her past. Seen from behind she is touching the hair on the right side of her face, instantly turned into the left side at the cut. (00:16:25)
Continuity mistake: The clocks are not coordinated, affecting the time frame. Josh and Jen are decorating the Christmas tree at 8:08 PM. Josh goes to his room, "past his bedtime." Josh writes his list for Santa. At 7:15, Josh hears a car drive up, so he looks out the window. Dad meets mom in the driveway and says, "It's almost midnight." (00:05:29 - 00:07:58)
