Continuity mistake: Ed Harris plays a property manager character and is featured in the beginning of the movie, walking with a pronounced limp, a seemingly painful gait. His character is shown in many other nominal scenes throughout the movie without limping. Most notable, shortly before the end of the movie, his character is shown dancing wildly, spastically, and jumping to music, seemingly unencumbered and fluidly, in a way that his character in the first part of the movie would not have been capable of doing.
Continuity mistake: Audrey is driving straight along the kerb before coming to a stop in front of her house. When Molly is getting out of the backseat, the Jeep and another vehicle are directly behind Audrey's rear bumper, which blocks her approach. (00:59:45 - 01:00:06)
Continuity mistake: When Fenn finds the doll in the tree trunk cavity, shadows are cast in several different (contradictory) directions. If Fenn's shadow was in front of him, he was walking west toward the dead tree; north would be to his right. Examples: The tree's trunk and one branch were casting shadows to the south moments earlier and Geary and the tree were casting shadows to the northwest a little later. Geary's shadow was cast westward when Fenn took his photo with the doll. (00:04:28 - 00:06:47)
Continuity mistake: The CGI billboard on the lawn moves to the left between shots.
Continuity mistake: The height of the stack of magazines on the coffee table in front of John changes with the camera's view. Front views of John show a high stack of maybe 15 magazines. Side views of John show a much shorter stack of several magazines. (00:25:03 - 00:26:07)
Continuity mistake: The angle of the laptop on the kitchen table changed (and no-one was close enough to have moved it). The laptop was initially more evenly aligned with the edge of the (round) table. A little later, the laptop was not visible, but probably should have been. (00:04:09 - 00:04:44)
Continuity mistake: The way "H" was lying on the road after getting shot was different in the aerial view shown shortly thereafter. H's body motions after getting shot were awkward enough - falling backwards but somehow managing to twist his body so that he could land facing the culprits. His body ended up being at about a 45°angle to the road barricades, but was parallel in the aerial view. Also, the road barriers would have blocked his view of the shooter and the ability of the shooter to look into his eyes. (01:13:35 - 01:13:56)
Continuity mistake: The pile of clothes Lea took out of the dryer and placed on the table were rearranged differently when the camera shifted to the opposite side. (00:41:52)
Continuity mistake: When Sami was having car problems, her bangs were mostly messy and longer, but suddenly neatly combed straight down a few times, such as after she slammed the hood shut, saw a shadow, and quickly turned around. (00:30:10)
Continuity mistake: The changes/inconsistencies in how the lobsters were arranged on Frank's and Hildy's plates cannot be accounted for based on their movements while eating/cracking them open. (00:59:35 - 01:00:37)
Continuity mistake: Right before Fiona "makes her water fly", Claire's glasses of cola and water are close to it. In an aerial view, Claire's glass of cola is more to her right and her glass of water is no longer there. (00:53:28)
Continuity mistake: The rope to pull the kid's sled was largely caught underneath the front of the sled when the "kid" started riding down the hill, but almost all the rope was on top of the sled moments later. Also, the rope getting entangled under the sled should have interfered with gliding in the snow and possibly caused an accident/injury. (00:02:42)
Continuity mistake: At the Internet Store, Spencer was told his house was "right outside" the service area, internet was not available, and a satellite would not work. At the Phone Store, Chad told Lynn and Zoe they were in the "dead zone." When Lynn answered Spencer's call by putting her head out the upstairs window, she said, "The service is great up here." Lynn and Zoe could listen to the news on their cell phone in the kitchen and Zoe read about asteroids just outside the front door. Internet worked? (00:04:53 - 00:28:00)
Continuity mistake: After the police officer starts dragging his wounded partner toward their SUV, the camera shifts to Jake and Henrietta talking along the side of the house. When the camera returns to the police officers, the officer dragging the other officer has not made any progress and even appears to be further back from where he started. (01:21:45)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the real estate agent greets the McKenzies, lovers of all things open. The potential clients hold the papers in a completely different way at the cut ("I was just telling the Breckins that..." etc). (00:01:15)
Continuity mistake: The door had multiple small rectangular glass panes enclosed in wood frames, but the glass pane that Alan Schaefer's head/body went through was larger and no wood frames were visible. (00:40:28)
Continuity mistake: The two men (Arabs) sitting at the table in front of Schultz had different amounts of wine in their glasses when the camera "made a 180." Both men had their glasses about half full. After the next camera shift, their glasses returned to their previous levels. The man on the right had about 1" of wine and the man on the left had a trace of wine in his glass. (00:51:28)
Continuity mistake: When the cop is talking to the gas station security manager the security man has his badge on the right of his shirt. The following camera shot shows it on his left and then swaps back again when they go to look at the security cameras. (01:01:00)
Continuity mistake: The position of the sword on the table varies. The doctor originally set it roughly parallel to the edge of the table, but sometimes it was at an angle. Also, the ribbon where the blade meets the handle usually has a prop on it to keep the handle raised. (00:19:34 - 00:22:06)
Continuity mistake: The dead rabbit was thrown onto its left side with its back almost parallel to the table's edge (width) and its nose/head almost in the corner. There was a bowl of several brown eggs several inches away from the rabbit's stomach. When the camera shifts, the rabbit's head has shifted at an angle away from the corner, its rear feet are slightly hanging over the table's edge (length), the bowl of eggs is touching the rabbit's stomach, and the eggs are piled on the opposite side of the bowl.
