Deliberate "mistake": After the first scene where Hannah's ex-husband walks in without knocking and picks up the kids, Hannah is looking at some family pictures including her, her ex-husband, and the kids (supposedly taken when they were still married). But in the pictures they're all wearing the exact same clothes that they were in the previous scene. Could be a coincidence but that seems doubtful.
Continuity: In the scene where Barney is headed home from work right before his wife leaves him for the athlete, the sun looks like it's morning sun. After about 30-45 seconds into the conversation with his wife why she is leaving, the sun changes to a late afternoon. It is very apparent on the mailbox. The shadows completely change direction in a matter of minutes.
Continuity: When Joan Cusack accidentally throws the turtle down the drain it is in a flat bottomed glass bowl. The scene before when we saw the close up, it was in a bowl with the middle raised like a bunt cake pan.
Revealing: Vinnie places two coin-filled water bottles in the trunk of his car and closes the trunk. As he is walking around the car to get in, the back of the car suddenly sinks down, which by itself indicates a special effect, as springs don't behave that way. But in addition, the rear tires, which would appear flattened if under a heavy load, are completely unaffected by all that "weight."
Continuity: When Vinnie takes Joan Cusack's kids to the ball game, pay attention to where they are sitting. When they first sit down you can see a row of people sitting in front of them. But after they sing the National Anthem (and all the shots after that), there is a railing in front of them.
Continuity: When Vinny is telling the anecdote at the end about Christmas and he is interrupted by the hitmen, he moves the kids back and then dives behind some wooden pallets, and immediately pops up to shoot the guns out of the hitmen's hands. After he dives, you can still see the stuntman/double's foot as Vinnie pop up to shoot.
Continuity: When Vinnie uses the price gun in the meat department he takes all the meat he used the gun on and puts it in his cart. In the very next scene he's seen trying to push the cart but he's having trouble because it's suppose to be filled with all those meats. The only problem is that there's no sign of the meat he just put in the cart and the cart is not even 3/4 full.
Continuity: In the scene where Barney and Vinnie are on the plane to New York for Vinnie to testify, they are handcuffed, apparent as he reaches up to pay the flight attendant for his drinks. Seconds later in the same scene he asks for Barney's pen and their hands are no longer cuffed. When they subsequently get off the plane, they are again handcuffed.
Continuity: When Vinnie is explaning to the D.A. that he learned to "jump start" cars in the army, he puts the toothpick in his mouth and then he's seen putting it back in again when the camera angle changes.
Continuity: When Vinnie reaches over the counter at the police station to grab a mint, the officer at the desk says that it's her last mint which makes the D.A. tell Vinnie to spit it out. If you look at the desk you will see at least 5 more mints on the desk.
Continuity: At the end of the movie, Hannah is introducing Vinnie at the ballpark dedication. She is seen standing on an elevated podium with nothing behind her. In the next scene showing her on the podium not only do the support beams disappear but there are people standing behind her.
