Continuity: When the waitress is done pouring wine into Oz's glass, she puts the bottle into the wine cooler. When it cuts to a closeup of Cynthia, the waitress is still holding the bottle.
Continuity: Near the end of the movie, when everyone has been "captured", Jill rips the crucifix and chain off of Jimmy's neck and throws it at Cynthia. In his next closeup, you can still see the chain on Bruce's neck.
Continuity: When Cynthia is driving down the road talking to Jimmy on her cell, she hangs up twice at the end of the conversation.
Continuity: Early in the movie, when Jill St. Claire tip-toes into the house while Jimmy the Tulip is busy with household chores, she invariably gets caught by the new family man anyway and eventually takes the argument with him upstairs to the bedroom. Carrying on the shouting match with her husband while getting change in front of the closet, a pair of shiny silver handcuffs (most likely the kinky kind - what business could a hitman possibly have with handcuffs?) can be seen hanging behind her head. By the time the outer layer of her clothing is stripped, the handcuffs disappear.
Continuity: When Cynthia tells Oz she is pregnant on the phone Oz removes the phone from his ear and shouts "We're pregnant". When it cuts the phone is back to his ear.
Continuity: When Strabo falls down the stairs, his hands are shown untied (what stuntman would want to roll down a staircase with tied hands?), but then in the next shot his hands are again tied. Before and after the roll, they are tied, but not during.
Other: Towards the beginning of the film when Oz talks to Jill on his cell phone in the car and he hangs up, you hear Jill answer Jimmy in Oz's cell phone.
Continuity: The first time Bruce Willis talks to Matthew Perry on the phone Bruce holds the phone in his right hand. Bruce's watch changes positions, well below that bump/bone below the wrist to above the bump/bone and then below again. Bruce never lowers his arm, or the phone, to cause the watch to move.
Continuity: As Jimmy gets to the surprise covered by a blanket we see his hand about to grab the blanket. When it cuts his hand is lowered and he grabs it again.
Continuity: When Jimmy gets to Oz's office, Oz is leaning on a rack with two jackets. It falls down and Oz picks it up again, but now only one jacket is on the rack. When it cuts, suddenly both jackets are hanging on it.
Continuity: At the bar, when they are drinking, Jimmy asks Oz if he had a good relationship with his father. Oz takes a sip from his bottle. When it cuts, the bottle is gone.
Visible crew/equipment: Towards the beginning of the movie, Lazlo shoots the two men that are in the trunk of the car. When they arrive and Lazlo opens the door, in the car door you can see the camera crew. You can even see them move as they follow Lazlo.
Continuity: When Cynthia calls Jimmy on the phone you can see Jimmy's necklace chain on both sides of his chest. When it cuts to a close-up of him one side of the chain is hidden under his shirt.
Continuity: When Jill finds the half dollar bill, the bill suddenly flips in her hands during the shots.
Continuity: When Jill gets back home and takes off her shoes, we see her dropping her bags on both her sides. When it cuts one of the bags is in front of her.
Continuity: When Strabo is pointing his gun at Oz and Oz hits it with his flowers, a shot goes off. Then it shows a lamp being hit. A split second later the vase beside it also breaks. There shouldn't be a split second between the two items breaking. A gunshot at that range would make both the lamp and the vase break at the same time.
Deliberate "mistake": When Lazlo is hiding the dollar bill in the painting, look closely and you will see the scene is played backwards. Ashes from his cigarette flies back up and smoke from the cigarette comes down.
Continuity: When Jimmy says "Murdering another human being can be a moving experience" to Jill, you see Jill wiping her nose on Jimmy's collar. When it cuts she isn't wiping.
Continuity: Near the end, when Oz is going off on his secretary, he mentions that Jimmy fed him chicken, but it was lobster.
