Continuity: Pay attention in the beginning of the movie, when Ordell is showing some "girls with guns" to De Niro. While he suggests to run fast the tape, he presses the REWIND key. The expected one would be the FF key.

Continuity: Jackson, Fonda & De Niro are first together in Jackson's apartment and Fonda is sitting provocatively on the sofa in shorts with her legs crossed right/left. Shot changes over Fonda's shoulder and her legs are crossed left/right, back to original shot and her legs are crossed right/left again.

Other: When De Niro and Bridget Fonda are talking and trading hits off of bong, alone in the apartment, while they're talking there comes a pause where they both look at each other with their mouths closed, and you can here someone coughing in the background.

Continuity: When Samuel L. Jackson shoots Robert De Niro, why does the blood spray forward onto the windshield? I admit it does look impressive, but he shot him from the side, so it makes no sense for the blood to spray at a 90-degree angle.

Continuity: At the end of the movie in a scene playing in July 1995 Max Cherry says that he is 56 years old. But earlier we see his bail-agent-id on which his date of birth is stated as 03.15.48.

Continuity: There is a scene when Jackie is doing the trial run with the southern girl she is sitting at a table in the food court. Watch her right hand, at one point she tries to tap her cigarette in the ash tray and they immediately cut to a scene where she is holding the cigarette up by her head, so it looks like it never happened.

Continuity: The mobile phone which Ordell (Samuel L. Jackson) uses in the film is the Motorola StarTac, which was made during 1997. During the movie Michael Keaton says in his tape recorder : "date, July, 1st 1995....", telling us the film's set in 1995.

Continuity: When Ordell and Louis gets to Max Cherry's office there is a yellow cup and a filer close to each other on Cherry's desk. When it cuts you can see the cup has moved away from the filer.

Visible crew/equipment: During the opening credits we see Jackie Brown walking along a greenish tiled wall. In the reflection of this wall we can see the shadow of the camera and a soundman.

Continuity: In the scene where they are doing the money exchange (for real this time) in the plane, Jackie Brown puts the money in her bag and then starts piling clothes on top. If you watch, she drops a small white bag (possibly a make-up bag) on the floor to her left. In the next shot, it is no-longer there yet she has had no time to pick it up. Further to this, it is also the last thing she puts in the bag before zipping it up.

Other: In the scene where Max is leaving the mall after picking up the bag of money, when he gets outside and walks to his car, the passenger side window is open all the way, yet he walks around to the driver's side and unlocks it.

Continuity: In the scene where Jackie is interrogated for the first time by the policemen Ray and Mark, she has to unload her bag. The shots switch between seeing Jackie (while unloading the bag) from the back and seeing her from the front. When seen from the front, we see a cup standing on the desk, next to her bag. In the shots taken from the back of Jackie, the cup has disappeared.

Continuity: When Jackie is buying the suit for the first time in the mall, she is quite a way away from the till when the assistant shouts for Jackie to get her change. But, when we see it from Max's POV, Jackie is closer to the counter at this point.

Continuity: When the phone rings for the second time, Ordell is about to take a sip from a glass in his left hand. When it cuts, the glass is in his right hand.

Visible crew/equipment: During the scene when Jackie shows up at Samuel's place, Samuel and Jackie walk out the glass door, while Robert De Niro stays inside. When Samuel is done arguing with Jackie, he opens the glass door. If you use slow motion, you can see a crew member/camera man standing there. [Slow motion is permitted for significant mistakes like a crew member in shot.]

Continuity: In the sequence of scenes where Max Cherry picks up Jackie Brown from jail after bonding her out, he arrives in a green 'Independent Limited' taxi which he is driving. Jackie looks for cigarettes in the glove compartment and sees Max's handgun, which she eventually steals. The two stop for drinks at the Cockatoo Inn Lounge, then Max drops her off at her house. When he drives away we see he is now inexplicably driving his silver-blue Cadillac. A split screen shows Max pull up to his office and open the glove compartment (of the Cadillac) to get his gun, realizing Jackie took it. The scenes play seamlessly, implying that the glove compartment she sees the gun in at first is the one it is missing from when Max discovers it's gone, which is impossible because the cars are different.
