Continuity mistake: When Jule has found her phone she calls for Jan but then Hardenberg arrives home and catches her. He then wrestles her to the floor, so Jan comes and beats him off her.

Visible crew/equipment: After the first apartment scene, when Peter gets into the Volkswagen, as he opens the door, you can see a cameraman reflected in the smaller window on the door.

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: After Jule tells Jan that she left her cell phone in Hardenberg's house, Jan goes down to the VW Bus to search for it.

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: When Jan, Jule and Peter are discussing what to do with Hardenberg, while he is tied to the excerise equipment and as they talk, during the scene the cameraman can be seen reflected in the glass door to the swimming pool a couple of times.

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: When the rich family enter their house at the beginning of the film, as the camera pans around, past the white pillar, you can see the boom and its pole reflected, and moving around, in the marble mirror wall, as the father says 'the alarm is off.' (00:01:30)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Jan breaks into Hardenberg's house, he has to run upstairs to disable the alarm. As he runs past the pool area, there is a couch with pink cushions on it which are flat are messily arranged. Yet once disabled, as Jule and Jan enter the pool area the cushions have rearranged and are neat and positioned. (00:45:25 - 00:46:20)

Hamster

However the next morning when we see them sleeping, suddenly Hardenberg's blanket is mauve coloured with a white swirling pattern on it. (01:10:30 - 01:11:50)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Jule goes outside onto Hardenberg's patio, she sets off a light which causes her to run inside in panic. Jan tells her to pack up their things. We then see that beside the pool (by the fake cactus statue) a blue towel and a pair of trainers. However they weren't there in any shots beforehand. (00:52:20)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Hardenberg is saying that he will have to make some phone calls so that his maid and wife dont worry about him, items on the breakfast table move between shots, and when Peter takes his gun out, Jules hands are down in her lap. But in her reaction shot, she is holding a knife up in the air, with jam dripping off it. (01:29:30)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Peter pulls out of the apartment, the yellow curtains in the back of the VW bus are open. Later on during their drive, when they pull up onto the side of the road, they are now suddenly closed. Nobody ever went to the back to shut them. (00:11:00)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Jan and Jule are sitting down smoking and talking, by the end of the conversation we see a close shot of Jan taking a drag and his cigarette is right down to the filter. But then when he gets up to continue painting, the cigarette has grown in length to about halfway through. (00:21:05)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Jule is serving the table in the restaurant she works at, she has a tray with three pear brandys on it. She places two down on the table in one shot with the third still on the tray. However the third glass just disappears from her tray when the shot changes. (00:14:05)

Hamster

Jan: For all revolutions, one thing is clear... even if some didn't work, the most important thing is that the best ideas survived. The same goes for personal revolts. What turns out good, what survives in you that makes you stronger.
