Additionally, during this scene, all the other writing on the blackboard changes between shots as well. (00:06:15)

Factual error: The creature Jess catches in the greenhouse is a Common Brushtail Possum, which is only found in New Zealand and Australia. Though the film was shot in New Zealand, it is supposed to be set in Lark Creek, Virginia, a rural area in the southern part of the United States.

Continuity mistake: When Jess and his parents are at the Burke's house, paying their sympathies after Leslie's death, Bill tells Jess that Leslie never had friends at her old school. Jack puts his hand on Mary's shoulder, but in the next shot, his hand is not there.

Leslie Burke: ...I check my air. I don't have as much time as I need to see everything, but that is what makes it so special.
