Continuity: At the beginning when Danny is talking to his Mom and eating a sandwich, the sandwich gets about 5 bites smaller in a split second. (Timecode)
Continuity: When Danny is playing alone in the corridor, with his toy cars and trucks, in the overhead shot, the little vehicles are set up on the orange and brown pattern, as the ball roles to him down the center brown path in the carpet's sextagon pattern. However, in Danny's close-up, when the ball is in front of him, all the little toy vehicles are now set up (still the same way) on the opposite side of the carpet's distinct pattern, as he also faces the opposite way. This mistake has absolutely nothing to do with the ghosts of The Outlook moving the ball.
Continuity: In the initial overhead shot of the house the hedge maze is not there though later on it is shown quite close to the house. (Timecode)
Deliberate "mistake": One more helicopter mistake. Look at the final shot of the opening sequence (before "the Interview" title shot). At the top of the frame, you will see the helicopter blades twirling. (Timecode)
Continuity: The level of the snow outside the hedge maze is at least five feet deep as the lamp posts stick up halfway through it, and all the large stones are totally covered. As soon as Danny starts running inside the hedge maze the snow is at ground level as you can see by the lights and benches that he passes along the way. (Timecode) Submitted by ????
Continuity: When Wendy is looking through all the typed sheets where Jack has typed 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy', you can see that they are getting disorganised, and when Jack sneaks up on her, she gets a fright and puts them down in an untidy pile. However, in the next shot, they are in a relatively neat pile again in the tray.
