Happy Face Killer picture

Character mistake: When Jesperson imagines himself as a Mountie his uniform is completely wrong and is not even the right colour. As it was his ambition to join the force and he has photos of RCMP officers in his cab, it seems unlikely that he would imagine himself in a completely incorrect uniform.

Suggested correction: It's not a character mistake, for the reasons stated; it's a clear factual error from the filmmakers.

Necrothesp

It's a character mistake since it's his imagination and, as you stated, it's not something the character would get wrong.

White Bird in a Blizzard picture

Factual error: In a scene where Kat is flying to or from Northern California for college, in the background through the window on the plane one can see a commercial jet which has the winglets of a narrow-body Boeing, which were not introduced until 1998 on the Boeing 737 NextGen, rather than "wingtip fences" of an Airbus which were in use as early as 1985. Eve disappeared in 1988 when Kat was 17, so this would have been 1993 at the latest, when Kat would have been expected to have graduated from Berkeley. In the movie, it is suggested that this was just 2 years after her mother disappeared, so this would have been not later than 1990-91.

Young Ones picture

Continuity mistake: The appearance/structure of the ground-level components of the well changes several times. In the first view, the unit is mostly gray and rusty with one vertical white pipe. When Ernest is pumping, half of the horizontal pipe is also white and clean. In the rear view, the vertical pipe is brown and rusty. Some mud spurts out of the spigot, but the spigot is clean, dry, and white in the front view. (00:05:10)

Before We Go picture

Factual error: While Evans and Eve are still in Grand Central they overhear an announcement which states "According to Port Authority policy This station will be closing for the evening." Grand Central is not part of the NY/NJ Port Authority. Also Grand Central is a terminal, not a station, as trains do not pass through Grand Central, they enter and turn around.

Continuity mistake: Juana's dad buys her a bottle of lime juice hoping she can save time that way, not having to squeeze it herself fresh. She passes the bottle back to him holding it by the middle section in one shot, and by the neck in the next. (00:06:00)

The Surface picture

Character mistake: Mitch states that he is Pisces then goes on to state that his birthday is 25th of March. The Pisces period goes from 19th February to 20th of March. Mitch would actually be Aries. (00:35:00 - 00:37:00)
