Continuity mistake: When Coriolanus and Sejanus are eating lunch at the Academy, Coriolanus' sandwiches switch positions several times, stacking and unstacking, and turning several times.
Continuity mistake: When Uncle Ollie puts his hand over Delilah's mouth, he also clasps the right side of her hair, practically covering half of her face. Uncle Ollie does not remove his hand from Delilah's mouth, but her hair is to the side of her face. (00:17:30)
Continuity mistake: When Miguel is with the pedophile, he is given bread (or something similar) to eat. Shot changes, and the bread is suddenly bitten. The bread's length keeps changing several times between shots.
Continuity mistake: The wad of money Briggs took from the man Jimmy's dad stole from was evenly folded in half, cupped in Briggs' palm, but at least one bill was protruding upward when he stood up. As Briggs was walking into the building, a rear view showed the money was no longer cupped in his palm but extended from both sides of his hand and was in disarray. (00:05:10)
Continuity mistake: The phone in the foyer of the Simon house is a dial pad, but changes to a rotary more than halfway through.
Continuity mistake: When Famous collapses onto the floor, there is cocaine near his hair/forehead, but the baggie (and cocaine in it) is spread differently and further from his head when Plain Wayne turns his head. (00:08:10)
Factual error: Eleanor Falco is mentioned as having substance problems. No way would the FBI recruit someone with such a problem.
Continuity mistake: The front view of the desk shows a few neatly arranged and parallel piles of papers, but the view from the desk's chair shows the piles non-aligned and the highest pile (thick file folder) more askew than the others. None of the men are touching the papers. (00:07:30)
Continuity mistake: When Lenny is directing the choir, and really getting into it, the cigarette he has jumps from his mouth to his hand instantly.
Revealing mistake: The airplane windows on both sides of the aisle are solid white ovals, with no variations to indicate the airplane is moving in the sky. (00:40:30)
Continuity mistake: While Lucky does push-ups on the floor, the positions of the pack of cigarettes and lighter on the coffee table change. In the side view, the cigarette pack goes from partially behind the glass to a couple of inches to the right, and the lighter goes from mostly to the right of the cigarettes to behind the pack. (00:42:08)
Continuity mistake: Isaac uses his right hand to drink some water, and his hand immediately goes from holding the glass to his mouth to holding chopsticks next to his plate. (00:20:58)
Continuity mistake: The amount of tomato juice in Lou's [Lily Tomlin] glass fluctuates with camera angle/distance, increasing two times. More distant views from the table show about one-third full, whereas close-ups show about one-half full. (00:27:10 - 00:28:10)
Continuity mistake: Wingate pours two whisky glasses almost half-full. He pushes one glass across the table to Stubb, and the glass has less than half as much whisky in it. Wingate's glass - now closer to him - appears to have a little more than he poured into the glass. (00:22:15)
Revealing mistake: The position of the lamp (upright or tilted) to the left of the screen varies, and the way the light is cast on the wall above and below the lampshade is not realistic. For example, when the upper part of the lampshade is angled away from the headboard, the light projects below the lampshade shorter toward the left of the screen, not elongated. (00:01:00 - 00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: The cases of "Gatorade" next to Trevor's left side are stacked to his waist. Trevor moves the case that is under Megan's elbow. When Trevor turns around, the cases next to him are instantly stacked to his chest. (00:09:25)
Continuity mistake: When Greg (Joel Courtney) is taking photos/videos and meets Charlie, rear views show strands of his bangs dangling down the side of his right cheek, but front views show his hair neatly combed back. (00:05:52 - 00:06:15)
Other mistake: In the movie, the mission takes place on the Space Shuttle Discovery. In the scene with the shuttle on the crawler, coming out of the Vehicle Assembly Building, Atlantis is pictured instead of Discovery. (01:39:48)
