The Departed (2006) - 61 mistakes

Other: In the scene where Costigan drags a handcuffed Sullivan into the elevator, Costigan slams Sullivan against the wall and his left arm is visible and not in handcuffs.

Continuity: In the scene after Queenan dies, when Sullivan picks up his phone to contact Costigan, he presses the "talk" button and a smudge of blood is left. In subsequent shots, there's no trace of blood on the "talk" button.

Continuity: When Costigan is with Madolyn in her office, the tissues in the tissue box change consistently between shots.

Revealing: ***SPOILER*** When Costello is killed, a blood-pack is noticeable under his shirt.

Continuity: At Billy's mother's funeral, the signature of Frank Costello on the flowers changes between shots.

Continuity: When Ellerby attacks the guy for not installing the cameras in the right place, he knocks off a map from the board. A second later Ellerby is still going after him, and the map is fixed.

Continuity: While Costigan is having coffee with Madolyn, a coffee cup suddenly appears in his hands close to his mouth, and the toothpick that was in his mouth a second ago vanishes.

Revealing: When Costello's hooligans drive away from 344 Wash after the shoot-out, Queenan's body on the ground is quite obviously a dummy.

Continuity: When Costello and French encounter the cops, the first shot shows the cops' car turning their lights on. In a new shot a second afterwards the lights on the middle and right side cars are out and they are turning them on again. On yet another new angle, the lights on the car on the left turn from off and on again in a split second.

Audio problem: When Colin answers Costello's phone, we hear the girl ask, "Where the hell are you?" but her mouth actually asks, "Where the f*** are you?"

Continuity: During the final shootout between the baddies and the cops, the pilot window of the grey GM is destroyed but appears perfect a second later.

Continuity: After the beach scene, Costello is preaching young Sullivan on loaded guns. His cigarette disappears from his lips between shots.

Visible crew/equipment: When Costello is looking at the dead corpses on the beach, two beams of light get reflected on his glasses.

Continuity: When Sullivan and his pal are watching the golden dome building from a bench, from a back shot his friend has his head faced straight, but from the front shot it's sideways.

Continuity: When young Sullivan is at Mass, a priest is swinging the smoking incense burning. In the next shot the smoke is gone, and he is away, arriving with the burner and repeating the previous movement.

Revealing: When Costello's men drive off, after throwing Queenan off the top of the building, the undercover FBI are firing at the van. One back window is shot out, then in the next shot of the van the other window is shot out and then the same one is shot again so the one window is shot out twice in the same scene.

Continuity: In the scene where Costello's bad guys are pulling up in the van to the building where Queenan and Costigan are talking, you can see the wet tire marks where the van stops before it gets there.

Continuity: The top layer on their dessert changes when Sullivan and Madolyn are in the restaurant. Between shots, the top piece changes back and forth between flat and curved.

Continuity: At the end of the scene, where Queenan and Dignam confront Costello on the street, there is a man in a blue jacket and red tie positioned between Queenan and Dignam, who was never introduced in the course of the movie nor explained within the context of the scene.

Continuity: Before French dies he starts to cough and there's suddenly less bullet holes in the windshield than in the previous shot.
