Audio problem: In the hospital, while discussing the list, Edward talks to Carter and, from the back, he says the word "grief" and the sound stops; but his jaw keeps on moving as if he kept on talking.

Revealing: When Edward and Carter are driving a motorcycle across the Great Wall, you can see that the man sitting on motorcycle is not Jack Nicholson. He has been replaced by a bit too obvious stunt double.

Factual error: When Cole and Carter are skydiving, there are a number of inaccuracies. First, Carter and his instructor jump well before Cole to put a safe distance between them. However, Cole and his instructor immediately catch up to Carter and then match their speed. This could be achieved by skilled jumpers, but not by instructor-novice pairs. Second, the men have a conversation while free-falling, which is completely impossible. Third, Carter pulls his own rip-cord (too early) and Cole's instructor yells at him to pull his own cord before it's too late. In reality, the instructor always carries the chute and pulls the cord for a first-time jumper, for exactly these reasons.

Continuity: During the scene in which Carter and Cole are discussing faith while flying in the aeroplane, the clouds seen in the window behind each character do not appear to move at all, even though the speed of the plane should leave them behind very quickly.

Audio problem: When Edward and Carter are arguing at the daughter's house, Edwards says, "Presidents have asked my advice." Although the camera is on Carter, Edward's mouth movements don't appear to match what he said.

Continuity: After Carter's wife has just left the first time she visits, Edward's head goes from being on the pillow to off the pillow on the bed throughout the rest of the scene.

Continuity: While racing around the race track, Carter is shown in the inside lane while Edward is in the outside lane (seeing as how Carter looks to his right and Edward looks to his left as they're talking to each other) just before they jump over the pile of dirt. However, just after Carter says "pick up on this, chicken man" he turns the car quickly to the left, mysteriously appears in the outside lane, and cuts Ed off before making the jump.

Continuity: As Ed and Carter are enjoying dinner in the elegant restaurant in France, note the plate of cookies to the left of the screen when the camera is on Carter. As the camera cuts back and forth from Carter to Ed as they chat, the cookies seem to come and go. The plate first has three cookies, then there are a lot of cookies when the camera cuts back to Carter again, then next there are four cookies on the plate in the next scene, etc.
