When Michael J. Fox arrives at Auntie Vera's house and she is trying to seduce him, she gives him a whisky and he throws it away leaving an empty glass. Next scene the glass is half full again. [Actually Auntie Vera hands her drink to him & says "have another".]

In one shot, the boss chases "Whitfield" out of the conference room so he could finally see who he is. In the very next shot, "Whitfield" is sitting in his office late after hours. Why didn't the boss just go to Whitfield's office? [Every time the boss goes to his office, Whitfield is nowhere to be found. The boss chases him because he finally finds him in person at the meeting. He had no way of knowing Whitfield would be working late, and surely Whitfield would have made sure certain people were gone for the night before going to his office. The whole premise of the movie revolves around the joke that he can "be there without being there" and still produce results.]

In the where Brantley and Vera are in the pool house after their swim, Brantley states "I'm going to make it to the top by myself". However, the next day in his future office, he reminisces back on that moment and remembers himself saying, "I'm going to make it to the top on my own". [This is a character mistake, misremembering the event, not an error in the movie.]
