Continuity mistake: During the fight scene with the contract killer in the apartment building, the killer's coat catches fire. As the scene and fight continues, the coat is no longer on fire. (01:16:30)
Continuity mistake: First meeting with Lazarus; the pastor sits down, his wife is just about to, and Verdean's assistant has placed her bag on the table. Next shot, pastor and wife seated, but Miss Jensen is still just only then approaching the chair and putting the bag down. (00:08:25)
Continuity mistake: The resident bully approaches Mara once her rather embarrassing mum left. Mara turns around and tries to power her way out of the predicament; in the background, the girl with the bright red dress has her arm across her waist, but at the cut she has both arms behind her back. (00:02:40)
Continuity mistake: Charlie's mock trial: the latina maid walks up the stairs, with Sebastian saying "OhmahGod, thank you." In the foreground, London is holding her goblet with her right hand, but in the next shot she has it in her left. (00:05:15)
Continuity mistake: When Zipper drops her off at her car at the beach, Marnie is wearing boots when she gets off his motorcycle. When she walks to the car she's wearing shoes.
Continuity mistake: Maggie's hand position on the wheel is inconsistent between shots in the scene when Henry is bagging some of the junk piled up in her car. (00:29:15)
Continuity mistake: During the saloon heist, Luke Wilson comes in to distracts Harvey Keitel. Danny pulls out a roll of banknotes to buy "some real scotch from Scotchland"; one of the girls poured a drink to Smiley and put the bottle down, but the bottle in a following shot is in a different position. (00:50:50)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the two friends discuss about the pool and various fluids including the pleasant effects of the waterjets on their ladyparts. During these amenities, the sleeve of the bathing robe on the bench switches position back and forth between two positions (showing the stripe or not). (00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the first thug is trying to convince Brennan to handle the gun. He repeatedly uses the trigger to show him that the gun is harmless; in the next shot the weapon mid-sentence is already turned around the other way, held out for Brennan. (00:01:15)
Continuity mistake: In the second part of Maggie's conversation with Castellano (after she shoos Henry with menacing gestures), his hand is on the glass' stem, then it is not in the reverse shot, and so on, back and forth. Maggie's hand also changes position, moving to and fro the rim of the glass. (00:30:50)
Continuity mistake: When Griffin gets out of bed, when he hears the clown song he pushes the bed sheets forward about 3 feet from the pillow but when his dad goes into Griffin's room, the sheets have been pulled up about half that length.
Continuity mistake: The handful of yams (pureed) that Glory throws onto the left side of her bowl is spread out, relatively flat, and spans close to the bowl's rim. Suddenly, the yams are piled higher and further away from the bowl. The yams on both sides appear to vary, but other views are too short to be confirmed (without pausing). (00:48:11)
Continuity mistake: When Specs and Tucker first arrive, pay attention to the cupcake Tucker is eating. When Tucker says "Thanks little man, some of my best editing on that one!", the cupcake still has frosting on top and he begins to peel the wrapper from it. The film cuts and suddenly there's no more frosting, nor is his hand still removing the wrapper. Then, over the next series of edits, the amount of frosting on the cupcake and the amount of cupcake left in his hand changes repeatedly.
Continuity mistake: When the snake is in the truck, in the shot of the guy saying "Get up there and kill it", the snake is entirely inside the truck, away from the edge. It cuts to Killian, then back to the snake, but now it's over the edge of the truck. It cuts back to Killian again, but when it cuts to the guy with the whip, the snake is suddenly back inside the truck, away from the edge. The guy runs up to the snake (the snake still inside the truck), but in a close-up, the snake is over the edge again. (00:18:28)
Continuity mistake: When the two protagonists are introduced to the private room and watch Dan's video message, the clock in the background never moves despite the several minutes duration.
Continuity mistake: In the first scene with Stephen Fry, Narayana mentions the construction of the bridge and sarcastly repeats the title of "Sir Francis." Fry has a pen in hand, no pen in the side view, again a pen back to the previous angle. (00:05:10)
Continuity mistake: SPOILER: The boy, Roger, finds a glove in a secret drawer in Mr. Holmes' room. The glove is lying perfectly flat in the drawer. It had supposedly been there for years unknown to Mr. Holmes. Later, in a flashback scene, it shows Dr. Watson putting the glove in the drawer. When he puts the glove in the secret drawer, it is not laid flat in the drawer - it has an obvious upward bend in the glove. Since the glove had been in the drawer, untouched, for years, it should have still had that upward bend.
Suggested correction: Although we are only shown Watson putting the glove in the drawer once there is no reason to suggest he may not have looked at it again before he left for good. More compellingly, Watson placed the glove in the drawer whilst the bureau was in place in Holmes' quarters in London, and it was not discovered until a quarter of a century later having been moved at some point to Holmes' house in Sussex. This journey could also easily have displaced the gloves position to some degree. The weight of papers contained in the drawer above may have also aided in flattening the glove out over the years.
Continuity mistake: During USG examination of Maggie, on the screen you can see the whole child, which, given the advanced stage of pregnancy is impossible, because the child would be too large. Regardless, on the USG screen, at the top in the middle, you can see the size of the child as 15.4cm, then a few scenes later Maggie births a full-size 55cm or more child. (01:11:25)
Continuity mistake: There are several fist fights between Cain and Adam. In most of them one scene does not relate to the previous one. For example, Cain is walking away, and the next cut shows them embraced in a shoving match. This discontinuity happens in many encounters.
Continuity mistake: During the fight in the garage, the protagonist neutralizes (and maybe neuters) one of the baddies crotching him with the car door. In that sequence, his hands keep changing position on the door. (00:07:30)
