Differences between the book and the film are NOT movie mistakes.
Continuity: When Sophie gets out of the back of the armored truck, she is not carrying anything and, again, as she is running along the side of the armored truck to get into the passenger's side, we see both hands and she isn't carrying anything. A couple of scenes later, as she and Robert walk up the steps to Chateau Villet, she is carrying her gray overcoat and handbag. They can be seen even better when Teabing is kissing her hand in welcome.
Continuity: When Robert is trying to convince Teabring not to call the police, he takes the keystone box out of his jacket pocket and holds it up for Teabing to see. In the shot of the box in Robert's hand with Teabing looking at him, the rose is facing towards Robert. As the camera position switches to focus on Robert holding the box, the rose is now facing towards Teabing.
Continuity: When Robert and Sophie are inside the bank, we see a bird's eye view of the key on the edge of the table with the chain's sides next to each other with no space anywhere along the entire circle. This shot is just before Vernet comes in to introduce himself. He walks toward Sophie who is behind a table with a chair also between her and Vernet. Right after Vernet says that first-time users are sometimes uncertain of protocol, we see a close-up of him taking the key off the table. First, he could not have reached the key from where he was in the previous shot, plus he is at a different angle to the key and table when he takes the key than in the previous shot. Second, when he does take the key, the chain is in a different position and has separated so that there is a space between the two sides at the top of the curve and at the top of the key.
Factual error: "Madonna of the Rocks" hangs in the Grand Gallery, not the Salle des Etats. The painting directly across from the "Mona Lisa" is Caliari's "The Wedding Feast at Cana." This painting is an enormous 32 feet (9.9 meters) wide. Even if "Virgin of the Rocks" did hang opposite the "Mona Lisa," it's 6.5 feet (1.99 meters) tall, too tall for Sophie to see over. The painting's ornate wooden frame is also too heavy for an average person to lift unassisted.
Continuity: When Sophie is backing away from the American Embassy, she shoots through the small gap between the trucks, Robert's rear view mirror is knocked off and then the car slams into a pole, bending it completely over when she stops. As she drives away there is no dent, no mark, no sign whatsoever that the rear of her car has been touched.
