Continuity: When Jack's trying to outrun the guys shooting at him, they shoot his tire, sending the trim ring flying. However, when the car nails the tree, the tire looks completely undamaged and the trim ring is back on.

Continuity: Throughout the movie, keep an eye on Jack Nicholson's tan. He goes from a toasty brown to washed out to toasty brown several times, in the same lighting sometimes he appears pale and sometimes he's tan.

Deliberate "mistake": Hollis Mulwray walks out to the ocean and it's obviously sunset. In the next shot we see Jake's face up close and it's obviously mid-afternoon. Submitted by ????

Deliberate "mistake": In the early scene where Jake is photographing the Mulwrays from a roof, the reflection of the two Mulwrays in the camera lens is right-side-up, but in reality the image reflected in the lens would be upside-down as seen from the audience POV.

Visible crew/equipment: When Jake returns a second time to talk to Russ Yelburton they go into Hollis Mulwray's office and a lot of the pictures have been taken off the walls. The crew makes a very lame attempt, using spray paint, to make it look as though the paintings have been hanging on a wall for very long time. Earlier in the movie we see these same spots and there is obviously no discoloration on the walls. Submitted by ????
