Continuity mistake: The morning after the confrontation with the killer, there's a big red bag next to Diana's chair in the long shots, which vanishes in the closer angle, only to reappear in a later shot. (01:18:15)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: Running away from the killer, Diana and Chin randomly get attacked by snakes, because why not. You can see in close-ups of Ilenia Pastorelli's face when she screams that there is no trace of the snake wrapped around the neck of the body double in other angles. (01:01:20)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: Diana is blind and not accustomed yet to her condition; multiple times throughout the movie if she bumps into something she staggers or drops what she is holding - for instance she drops the shopping bags when she bumps into the post meeting Chin. And yet when she is escaping from the police at Chin's house, she bumps into a drying rack and does not even flinch - in fact if you look closely you can see that the actress moved her hand on purpose to hit it cleanly at the proper angle that would make it fold. (00:44:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ispettrice Bajani is knocked down by the killer comically opening the car door in her face. She falls back, but in close-up she is face down on the asphalt and the gun is on the opposite side from the one you'd expect given the right-handed grip and the way the door opened. When they show the crime scene, her body is also suddenly close to her coworker's; technically we saw just her death and not what the killer could have done before leaving (we know he got her phone), but realistically there's no plausible explanation why he'd drag her several feet away and the eyewitness says nothing about the killer doing post-murder Feng Shui antics. (00:44:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ispettrice Bajani is on the phone when she shouts her colleague's name in close-up, but in the wider angles before and after her arms are held low. (00:43:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Diana is holding the calling card from Ispettrice Bajani in her left hand and her cane in the right hand when she gets the denim jacket. The close-up shows her right hand, with no cane, tucking the card in the jacket pocket. (00:39:30)

Sammo

Audio problem: In the original version, it's crystal clear that the last sentence from inspector Gemma Bajani after she hands her calling card (when she says that they'll be back with a search warrant) was added in post, lacking ambience and even mixed at a different level than the rest of the dialogue. (00:39:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Diana kicking her client in the nads, the background shows the footboard of the bed behind them, but they are at the side of the bed, close to the bedstand, a moment before and after. (00:14:30)

Sammo

Other mistake: In the last scene at the airport, extras get reused - for instance, when she says "I promise..." a guy with a loud teal T-shirt, dragging a little trolley, walks by her. The commissioner offers to give her a ride, and the same guy is walking in the opposite direction. (01:20:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the commissioner - who somehow delivers adoption papers too - hands the documents to Chin's cousin, she holds them in her left hand, which is entirely free in the next shot. (01:20:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Diana and Chin are chained up in the back of the van. She begs him to leave the child alone; the position of her hands changes entirely between shots. (01:13:20)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: Diana needs to make herself a new DIY cane. She tried to break a few branches, and one eventually makes a snapping sound - you can see though that it just slips into her hand coming from out of the frame. (01:08:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the double murder scene, the commissioner asks the eyewitness about the van. In the background, a policeman opens the trunk of the car, fully. He is back in the process of opening it in the next shot. (00:44:15)

Sammo

Audio problem: When Baldacci shoots the van that is coming at him full force, the sound bits inserted are of bullets hitting metal. Since he is aiming at the windshield, either his gun does not shoot straight or someone has been very lazy with the sound editing; even if he hit bulletproof glass, the sound it would make would not be like that at all. And a few seconds later his colleague shoots at the van from the side and there is no bullet impact sound at all; to Miss a static target of THAT size from a few feet of distance she'd have to blind as well. (00:43:05)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: When inspector Gerry Baldacci gets in the way of the white van (as if there were a single white van in all of Italy), you can see on the asphalt the single distinct tire marks of the perfect size and path from previous takes. (00:43:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The police inspector threatens Diana implying that for a blind woman like she is, life in prison would be a nightmare. He does that casually leaning against the wall with his hand held up high above his head. In the reverse shot, his hand is chest-high. (00:38:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The police shows up at Diana's door looking for the kid. As Diana opens the door, look at her left hand getting on the top of her cane. And yet, in the reverse shot the right hand is there, the left arm is down her side. (00:37:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Diana's fingers are in a different position on the phone between close-up and wider angle when she realises that Chin crept back in the kitchen as she was trying to speak with the headmistress. (00:32:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the kid is eating cereals in Diana's kitchen, the glass is touching the tablecloth in the first close-up, and it is not in the wider camera angle. (00:31:35)
