Deliberate mistake: Within the final crash scene, in the shot where the flames are first shown exploding through the cabin, you can plainly see that all the seats (especially the aisle seats) are empty. In addition, this shot takes place after several shots depicting cabin breakage, and debris flying everywhere. Here, nothing is flying anywhere, and nothing is broken.
Deliberate mistake: At the end of the film when Pacino and the gangsters are shooting each other on the escalator, the escalator takes a long time to get to the bottom, way too long.
Deliberate mistake: When "C" and Jane are walking home together and Jane pronounces "C's" entire name she says his first name Calogero as well as his last name Anello but he never told her his last name he only told her his first name when they met.
Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Sam is swinging from the hospital window, you see him first from the inside. Now he is obviously being pushed (from a crew member) so it looks like he's moving back and forth smoothly. However, when seen from the outside he couldn't be pushed and so when swinging by himself, he was actually bouncing off the walls. Inside this would have been seen. Also, inside it seems that the sky is clear, though outside there is a tree by the window.
Deliberate mistake: It's not possible for Chance to have been able to launch the cougar off the cliff with just his own weight.
Deliberate mistake: The movie shows events between 1939 and 1945 but the children look the same at the beginning and the end, they don't grow up. Pay attention to Danka Dresner, Adam Levy and Olek Rosner.
Deliberate mistake: Towards the end of the film, Josh is playing a game in the park with Vinnie, and Vinnie asks "What's that?", to which Josh replies "Schliemann Attack." However, this dialogue occurs while the game is still in standard opening theory and before Josh has played the move that introduces the Schliemann Attack (pawn to f5).
Deliberate mistake: The dummies are obvious when the jail bus is flipping over onto the railroad tracks.
Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Mary (Kate Maberly) emerges from the bath tub she glances uneasily at the camera for a brief second. (00:56:00)
Deliberate mistake: It's meant to be a joke, but the way the famous punch scene happens is completely ludicrous. Darian appears to be flying in the air toward Nick to attack him, but there is no explanation of how she is doing this, and the way she was thrown back high in the air a few feet is something a punch can never do unless with inhuman strength. There's not any reason whatsoever that both of these things happen, except to give the viewers a laugh. A gun in this case would have made a whole lot more sense.
Deliberate mistake: Gray's rental car just happens to be the one car out of the hundreds in the parking garage that the bad guy chasing Gray and Darby crashes into, setting off the bomb he had placed.
Deliberate mistake: When Wyatt comes out of the Oriental and joins his brothers in the street to tell them he's acquired a quarter interest in a game, a herd of cattle is passing them in the street but there's no dust kicked up by the cattle, when in reality there would be a lot of dust on a dry desert street in Arizona.
