When Michael and Karen are "chatting" in the scene following Karen's settlement presentation to the Board, Michael says "You really got your heart racing, didn't I?" rather than "I really got". [Obviously a character mistake; he simply misspoke.]

Mistakes
Throughout the entire movie there is a pimple on George Clooney's forehead. It changes size, disappears, etc throughout the movie. You will notice on some closeups that the pimple is quite large and when the camera goes away and then comes back to Clooney, the pimple is tiny - very inconsistent with how a pimple would actually develop.

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

In the last scene, when Michael's taking his $50 cab ride, keep your eye on the rear window. His cab is being followed by another yellow cab, containing either Karen's evil henchmen, or, more probably, movie crew members. [Where's the mistake? Cabs are plentiful, it's not like Clayton's is the only yellow cab around. It doesn't make a difference who would be in the cab, one cab following another isn't a mistake as it happens frequently.]
In the scene where Michael is leaving a message on Arthur's answering machine, the machine reads 39 messages, then goes into record mode as the message is left. Halfway through the message, the machine flashes 40 messages, however Michael is still talking. The machine should not have showed 40 messages until he was finished talking or the call was ended by the machine. [My answering machine begins flashing to tell me there is a message right after the outgoing message, and during the incoming recording voice. The caller doesn't have to finish speaking for a message notification to start flashing.]
At the start, when Michael's looking at the horses, we see his car behind him on the road, with the exhaust visible. Exhaust's only visible when the engine's cold (ie. if the car was started just before the cameras rolled) - he's been driving for a while, so nothing should be seen. [Completely untrue. A car's exhaust will be seen whether the engine is cold or warm, if the air temperature is humid and cool to cold. Around freezing exhaust will be constantly seen, and even a little above freezing temperatures, exhaust will be seen if the humidity is right. It's got nothing to do with the engine being cold or not.]
