Legal Eagles mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Logan is talking to Laura while it snows, the amount of snow on Logan's shoulder in the close-ups remains unchanged all the time. However, later, when the shot changes to a wide angle, most of the snow is gone. Too fast for it to melt.

Visible crew/equipment: When Logan and Laura exit the auction house, a camera or black piece of filming equipment is reflected on the window. Can't be a street sign because it moves all the time, and there is no sign next to the car on the opposite shots.

Plot hole: Chelsea says that when her deceased father gave her one of his paintings (now missing), he wrote an inscription to her on the back. She says she cannot prove that he actually did this other than he noted it in his journal and she does not know where the journal is. However, when Chelsea's father presented the painting to her on her 8th birthday, there were at least 100 adults present at her party who witnessed him giving her the painting, writing the inscription, and signing his name on the back of the canvas which was displayed to the guests. Any number of these people could be contacted and corroborate her claim.

Trivia: If you compare both times that the signature on the painting is revealed (in 1968 and in 1985), you'll notice that the "b" in Sebastian Deardon is different. You have to pause and make a screenshot of both to spot it.
