Continuity mistake: When Harry enters the cafe, filmed from inside he is holding the newspaper in a different way from how he was outside.

Continuity mistake: Near the start, just after the robber takes a hostage, Clint holds his gun up and moves his thumb onto the hammer. When it cuts to a reverse angle his thumb's back down, then he moves it up again a few shots later.

Continuity mistake: On Harry's way to and from the fish market, it changes from day to night too fast.

Continuity mistake: When we first see the dog, the giant bow is on the dog's right side. After Harry reads the card, the camera cuts to the dog and the bow is now on the dog's left side.

Continuity mistake: Harry's dog, Meathead, changes genders. It's a male dog while jogging in the park, but is female when the mob hit man is sniffed out at the hotel. Then it goes back to being male.

Visible crew/equipment: At one point Clint Eastwood is out in the woods practising his shooting with his new .44 auto-mag pistol. While he's doing this, a car pulls up and a black male begins to get out with a shotgun. (We later learn that this is his partner). As the man with the shotgun is opening his door, if you look at the reflection in the car window, you can clearly see the reflection of a man with a camera and another man standing next to him.
