⇓

Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, when Warren is waiting for his last working day to be over, the ticking clock is shown in close-up, and it casts a strange shadow, as if it were lit right from below. In all wide shots there is no shadow at all.

⇓

Continuity: In the opening scene Warren is sitting at his desk, waiting for the clock to turn 5 pm. Depending on the camera angle the arrangement of items on his desk varies: the telephone, the mail basket, and the rolled-up cable are sometimes right at the edge, sometimes not, and also the way the cable is rolled up changes.

⇓

Factual error: While flying from Omaha to Denver, Schmidt flies Midwest Express (now Midwest Airlines) and the gate agent announces it as a flight from Omaha to Denver. Midwest Express does not and has never flown directly from Omaha to Denver.

Continuity: In the wedding scene, Randall's boutonniere starts out as a closed off-white rosebud with arranged foliage. By the time he is reading his "and I mean every DAY" prose to Jeannie, the rose has changed color to peach, has opened, and the foliage is arranged completely differently.

Continuity: When Warren wakes up on the morning of his first day of retirement there is a close-up of the clock on the bedside table turning 7:00. There are two coins in front and something like a round, green container behind, both of which are gone a moment later when he gets out of bed.
