Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In one shot of Grace having sex with Jake, underwear is visible on her hip.

Mistake Continuity: As Bobby falls from the cliff, his sunglasses fall off his face twice between shots.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: After Bobby is pushed off the cliff by Grace, towards the end of the shot of him rolling on the rocks, a black pad is visible under his shirt and attached to his trousers which was used for the stunt.
