Deliberate "mistake": There's a series of shots explaining the set built to make Seahaven, and the places where the show broadcasts. We see a shot of place similar to Times Square, with a big screen on a building's facade playing the show. The action on the screen plays at a normal pace, but the people walking on the street have been sped up. The action on the screen should have been played at the same speed.

Continuity: When Truman opens the trunk in the basement, the stuff inside changes completely in the close-up.

Continuity: In the travel agency, some pencils appear, others disappear, and others change position during the whole scene.

Continuity: When Truman stops in front of the bus, the position of the driver's right hand differs between the outside and inside shot.

Continuity: The FM LED on the car's radio appears in the outside shots but disappears when seen from the inside of the panel.

Continuity: When the lamp is about to fall, the aerial view show a very simple street. From street level, the place is filled with all sorts of decoration.

Continuity: The lamp falls on a sunny side of the pavement. When the shot changes it's on a shady part.

Continuity: Just before Truman turns around to see his dad as a homeless man, there is a woman in a white sweater behind him. When Truman turns, the woman is in front of him.

Continuity: When Truman meets his father, there's a man on a bike, 5 meters behind them, riding really slowly. A second later, from a new angle, the bicycle is 10 meters in front of him.

Continuity: When Meryl holds the Chef's Pal, the position of her hands differs depending on the shot.

Continuity: When Truman and his best friend are driving golf balls from uncompleted bridge, his friend hits a golf ball. After the ball is hit, the camera returns to friend as he has completed his shot, but the golf ball he just hit is still on the tee.

Continuity: In the boat after the storm, Truman has a rope going over his thigh. A second later it is tied around by a big knot.

Continuity: When Truman sees his father for the first time in the street, he has just bought a newspaper and magazine. When he runs after his father he throws the magazine and paper up and runs, yet when he stops because the bus has driven off he is holding the paper and magazine under his arm.

Continuity: In the scene where a lamp fell from the sky in front of Truman, the damage caused to it seemed somewhat insubstantial, bearing in mind the height from which it surely must have fallen in order for it not to be visible from the ground in the first place.
