The Family Man (2000) - 8 mistakes
Directed by Brett Ratner, starring Don Cheadle, Nicolas Cage, Téa Leoni (add more)
Continuity: When Kate is eating the olives at the Christmas party it shows her with only one left. It then cuts back to Jack Campbell and when it cuts back to Kate she suddenly has two left on the toothpick.
Continuity: When Jack is watching CNBC the bottle of Yoohoo changes position when he yells "thats my deal" and then it changes back again.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene when Jack and his friends are at the bowling alley, Jack bowls down the aisle. When the bowling ball is just about to hit the ten pins you can see a reflection of the camera filming the scene in the shining bowling ball.
Continuity: In the bowling alley scene when Jack is talking to his best friend Arnie about the Fidelity Bank and Trust things move around on the table top. In one view Arnie's beer and glove are touching. The camera cuts to Jack and then back to Arnie where the glove and beer are now inches apart.
Revealing: In the bowling alley scene where Jeremy and Nick are discussing the red-haired woman, you can see Nick shaking from laughter and even hear it. It is easier to spot if you have watched the outtakes. Nick simply could not contain his laughter during this scene and so they just shot him from behind and left it in. This happens in another scene as well, when they first enter Jeremy's "manly" den. These two were just having too much fun filming this movie. Watch the outtakes.
Factual error: The movie, set in December 2000, depicted Christmas Eve as a weekday although it was actually Sunday.
Continuity: After Jack makes the chocolate milk for his daughter, the size of her milk mustache changes back and forth in the following shots.
