Mistakes
Father Karras bandages his mother's leg and we see her right hand as she raises it and he says, "Mama, I could take you somewhere…". In the next shot she raises her hand to her head and she now has a band-aid on her wrist. See more...
Trivia
In the scene where Regan's mother is supernaturally blasted away from the bedside, she is being yanked by the crew by a length of rope. After dozens of takes director William Friedkin was still unhappy with the look of the shot and ordered the crew to haul her more fiercely.

What happened to the movie that Chris was shooting. It just disappears from the script after Burke Dennings dies? [It's never explained. Presumably shooting was suspended during her daughter's "illness," or they were able to continue filming around her absence.]

What was in the attic if there weren't any rats making the noises? [It was the demon moving objects around. This is seen later as well when object in Regan's bedroom are manipulated.]
