Factual error: One of Angel's lyrics (in "Today For You, Tomorrow For Me) refers to the movie "Thelma and Louise." Rent (the movie) is set in 1989-90. "Thelma and Louise" was released in 1991.[This was caused when they did the move from Broadway to the screen. What happened was the stage show did not specify the year. So when they adapted the stage show to the movie, they didn't check the references. Plus it just sounds cool. Added info by Todd Loewen]

Continuity: During "Santa Fe," watch the woman who moves to the seat behind where Collins is singing. She will sit down then a cut later you see her sitting down again, and even farther into the scene she disappears completely for a shot. This is even mentioned on the movie commentary.

Continuity: When Mark is editing his film at the end of the movie, there is a segment of Angel when he was singing "Today 4 U," Mark never filmed during that scene. At no point during Angel's performance does Mark pick up his camera and film Angel. We see Mark without his camera just watching Angel.

Continuity: During the subway scene, Tom is singing and dancing, a blonde lady gets up and moves to the single chaired seat at the back of the train. In a subsequent shot from the same angle, she vanishes completely. She isn't in either her old or new seat or anywhere else to be seen on the train. Then she magically reappears. The director and cast members laugh about it in the DVD commentary.

Continuity: During the second time Mimi is in the Catscratch Club, she leans back in front of a couple gentlemen at the front of the stage taking some money. Well if you look really close right before the grabs the money in the full body length shot, some money is in the front of her underwear. Yet when she grabs the money, there is nothing there and she's just starting to put money there.
