Continuity: When Bella enters Biology class and talks to Eric about getting her playlist for prom, she starts to walk then pauses to look across the room towards Edward, in this shot the Armadillo is not on the shelf, only what looks like a peice of paper, is hanging there. The Armadillo appears on the shelf only after she has sat down at her desk and Edward moves the microscope towards Bella saying "Ladies first".

Character mistake: When Bella is researching on the computer, she finds a page that spells the word "Apotamkin" (correctly), but when she opens the page, it now spells the word as Apotampkin.

Continuity: In the Ballet Studio, when James bites Bella's left arm, there is nothing on it, but, when Edward is sucking the venom out, there is a bracelet. Look at her arm when James bites it, then you'll first notice it just after Edward throws James against the mirror.

Continuity: When the Cullens are in the garage preparing to take Bella to safety, Edward closes the trunk lid twice.

Visible crew/equipment: When Bella and Charlie are going home you can see a crew member reflected on the door.

Continuity: In the scene when Edward is explaining his history to Bella and they are sitting under some branches in the rain, from each wide shot and closeup the position of Edward's wet fringe (bangs) is completely different.

Continuity: In the hospital, after the 'almost' car crash when Edward saves Bella, she has a blood pressure cuff on her arm. You can see the nurse take it off. She has it off for a while, but then it reappears on her arm in one shot, just as her dad says "you can kiss your licence goodbye".

Audio problem: In the Prom Gazebo scene, Bella wonders why Edward will not turn her into a vampire. Edward says, "I'm not going to END your life for you." These words do not match his mouth and appear to be dubbed. "End" being dubbed over some other word, possibly beginning with a "B".

Continuity: After Edward saves Bella from being crushed by the van, while he is holding her, Bella's hair is outside of her jacket covering up her hood. When the shot changes her hair is tucked beneath the jacket and the hood is visible. When the shot changes back, her hair is covering up her hood.

Continuity: Edward drives past the waterfall before he and Bella arrive at the baseball field and park nearly on it. But the field "moves" so that they walk past the waterfall when they meet the other Cullens.

Continuity: During the hospital scene, when Edward is "sleeping," his head goes from from leaning on one shoulder to suddenly on the other shoulder in the very next shot.

Audio problem: In the scene where Bella and Edward are in Edward's bedroom, the sound differs between the camera angles. There is a lot more background noise when Bella is in the shot and not as much when Edward is being shown.

Visible crew/equipment: When Bella's dad tells her about the new tires, you can see the boom mic reflected on the pickup.

Continuity: When the waitress in the diner gives Bella her spinach salad, between shots the salads appearance changes (the tomato slices and onion rings are in different places or disappear altogether.)

Continuity: When Tyler throws a piece of licorice at Bella to get her to come over to them, Jessica is standing to the very far left (from Bella's view) facing Bella and trying to talk to Mike. After Bella shakes her book at him in response, Jessica is suddenly standing to the very far right (from Bella's view) facing away from Bella and goofing around with Angela.

Continuity: When Waylon is on the boat just before he hears the growling noise, between shots a mysterious white object appears on the boat, next to him and his bottle of whiskey.

Revealing: During the baseball scene, when Carlisle is up to bat, he points his bat forward and in the background you can see Esme, Rosalie, Jasper and quite obviously Kristen Stewart's double with her hat pulled down low to cover her eyes. You can see it is a different person because her chin is quite square and Kristen's is very pointed.

Continuity: In the baseball scene, in the shot where Carlisle hits the ball and starts running to first base, you see Edward and Emmett in the background also start running to catch the ball. The next shots of Emmett and Edward show them standing still, just preparing to run.

Revealing: When Bella is walking out of her house while talking with Charlie on the first icy morning, before she slips on the ice you can see under her jeans that she is wearing knee pads, and you can see them again once she stands up after falling.

Continuity: As Edward and Bella are dancing on the gazebo at prom, the other two couples leave the gazebo. The first couple who leave walk over to the stairs and start walking down them. In the next shot they're still walking to the stairs and then begin to descend them again.

Continuity: As the Cullen's are cooking in the kitchen you can see a small television screen with a remote control on the counter behind Esme. Between shots as Edward and Bella enter the kitchen, the angle of the screen and the position of the remote changes.

Continuity: In the ballet studio, when James is thrown backwards into the mirror by Edward in the first shot he is landing on his backside but in the very next shot he is landing on his shoulders/stomach.

Continuity: When The Cullen's are in the Kitchen making Italiano for Bella, Rose is holding out a crystal bowl that Emmett has filled. But when Edward tells them Bella has already eaten, just before Rose shatters the bowl, the bowl is half empty and only a few pieces of lettuce fall to the floor amongst the shards of crystal.

Other: Bella's nasal canula in the hospital scene were all over her face in almost every shot and they were not connected to anything.

Continuity: When Bella and Edward are at the salad bar talking about Bella's theories, you can see the table with Bella's friends in the background. If you watch her friends, all of their positions and various actions noticeably change, between the following consecutive shots.

Continuity: When Edward and Bella are laying in the meadow, the distance between their heads increases between shots just before the sun shines on them.

Continuity: When James, Victoria and Laurent arrive at the baseball game, in the first shot of their arrival Laurent has his dreadlocks hanging over both of his shoulder. In the very next shot dreadlocks are only hanging over his right shoulder, and then back to both shoulders in the next.

Continuity: When running through and marking trees, Rosalie's hair is flat and wilted from the extreme moisture in the air. When Alice sees them stop due to James switching directions, Rosalie's hair is perfect.

Continuity: When Edward and Bella drive into the Forks Police Station parking lot the first time as the ambulance is leaving, there is something red lying in the middle of the driveway, but then as they drive in again it is gone.

Continuity: When the waitress in the diner is giving Charlie his plate of food, between shots the white bowl of salad sitting on the plate moves from being right at the edge, to being in the center of the plate.

Continuity: When Bella is sitting with Edward near the lake asking him questions about his family and whether they have abilities like Edward's mind-reading, her woolen mittens jump from her hands to her lap.

Continuity: While Bella is hanging out inside the van at the La Push beach and Jacob and his friends come to hang out, Jacob turns to grab a tub of Red Vines. In some shots he has the tub next to him, but in others he doesn't. Also you can see that the guy next to Sam takes a bite of a Red Vine in one shot, and in the next he does not have the Red Vine in his hand anymore.

Continuity: When Bella goes to Edward's house it has a two car garage, but later when they are leaving Forks, there are three cars in it.

Continuity: When Bella is talking to Edward while washing the car, the blue bucket disappears and it is gone when Jacob and his farther arrives minutes later.

Audio problem: After Edward runs Bella up the mountain, he is trying to explain to her that he is dangerous. They are facing each other and Edwards says, "I've Killed Before." Bella says, "It doesn't matter." The camera then spans around them and Edward is moving his mouth, but there is no audio.

Continuity: When Bella is at the hospital, the little plant by her left changes place. First it is under the lamp; later it is no longer under it.

Audio problem: In the hospital scene when Edward tells Bella she should go to Jacksonville you hear the heart monitor in the background and although Bella is visibly upset the heartbeat continues at the same rate.

Visible crew/equipment: When Edward and Bella are in the forest and they are talking about what Edward really is, there is a microphone in view at the top of the screen.

Continuity: In the scene in the woods where Bella tells Edward she knows what he is: she drops her backpack by a tree, and in one shot you can see it, but the next you can't only because it's turned upside down so you can't see the red. But it's still there. And in other scene you can see it again, right side up.

Continuity: When Bella and Edward are coming back from Port Angeles and see that their dads are still at the Police station, Edward starts to pull in and there's what might be an ambulance in the entrance. The next shot shows a semi-close-up of Bella asking Edward to pull in, which he does again, and this time there is no car in the entrance.

Continuity: When Bella is telling Charlie that she is going out with Edward and he is at the house to meet him, her ponytail keeps changing position from hanging down her neck to behind her shoulder.

Continuity: In the scene where they are driving up to the police station there is only one bright orange paper taped to the door, however close up there are three (orange, blue, black). Also a potted plant mysteriously appears - when they are driving up in Edward's car you can see there is no plant on the porch and when Carlisle comes out there is.

Continuity: When Bella and Edward talk in the woods about what Edward is, he walks up flush behind her. In the next shot, there is a gap of about a foot, without Edward ever having moved. He's then back flush behind her.

Continuity: In the scene when Bella opens the book of Quileute legends, the wide shot shows there are no pictures on the pages she turns to. In the close-up shot, when she says, "cold one," there are pictures on both pages. This couldn't be possible, considering that she doesn't turn pages from the wide shot to the close up.

Other: When Bella meets Edward's family, Esme's (Edward's mother) upper forehead (near her hairline) has no makeup, but the bottom portion does. You can see the difference between her pale vampire makeup and her natural skin (which is also shiny).

Continuity: In the greenhouse on the school field trip, as Edward says he is sorry "for being rude all the time" to Bella, between the wide shot and the closeup a clear plastic sheet hanging from wire appears behind Edward, in the plants.

Continuity: During one of the cafeteria scenes, when Eric is talking about La Push, depending on the angle, Angela is either holding her camera up and is taking pictures or is resting the camera on the table.

Continuity: When Edward and Bella are out in the parking lot at the prom where Jacob shows up, Edward's hair is styled a little over to the side, but when they go into the prom his hair is brushed up into a bouffant of sorts.

Continuity: During baseball game in the clearing, Rosalie's back shot shows her neatly curled hair. Front shot, her hair is kind of a mess.

Continuity: When Bella leaves Charlie's house for Phoenix, the front door has the window blinds down when she comes home, then up when Charlie is looking out the door at her leaving; however you can see them when she slams the door going outside.

Other: When Jacob Black comes to Bella's house with Billy Black, Edward Cullen had just fixed the front side of Bella's car. Jacob Black can quickly see the fix, though it is obscured by Bella standing in the way, and also he seems to be checking out the back side of the car.

Continuity: The way the house is set up when Bella is talking to her dad about going to play baseball with Edward is off. The kitchen table is no longer pushed up against the wall, and the front entry doorway enters to the living room, instead of a hallway, like in the scene where Bella comes home and slams the door.

Continuity: When Bella trips forward and when Edward apologizes to Bella "for being rude" in the greenhouse during the school trip, the students behind and in front of them suddenly change, and alter their positions and locations between shots.

Continuity: In the scene when Bella first walks into Biology class, she walks past a large fan that hits her with a gust of wind that visibly jostles her hair. In the next shot, her hair is completely perfect again.

Continuity: In the cafeteria, when Bella sits for the first time with Angela, Jessica, Mike and Eric she has her arms crossed. When Angela takes her picture Bella's arms are unfolded. Then the shot changes and her arms are crossed again.

Continuity: In the green house scene, the two girls right in front of Bella have dark hair, and then after she trips it pans out to show a girl wearing a hat and pink shirt.

Revealing: When Bella is driving the truck away after she says she's leaving Charlie to go to Phoenix; when Edward is going to get in the truck when he's on the side of it, you can tell its a stunt double.

Other: In multiple scenes in the forest you can see Edward's "breath" - but being a vampire, he should be cold, hence there shouldn't be any visible "breath" because of the cold weather.

Continuity: In the scene where Bella and Jessica are outside enjoying the strangely sunny day, there's a boy in a brown shirt sitting in a table behind them. As they are talking, that boy remains seated, but when the shot changes from a close-up of Bella to a two-shot, the boy is suddenly standing up.

Revealing: When Edward and Bella ride up to the baseball game in the jeep, they make one set of tracks on the ground. When they're rushing to leave, the shot shows that there are actually two sets of tracks running almost perfectly inside each other.

Revealing: In the baseball scene, when the nomad vampires appear, you can see the rim of Laurent's contact lenses in close-up shots.

Revealing: In the Dance Studio, there is a point where James rams Edward's head into the mirrors, shattering the surface. However, Edward's reflection on the shattered surface remains intact, instead of being a fractured reflection, as would have been the case when a mirror shatters.

Continuity: In the scene where Edward asks Rosalie and Esem to wear Bella's clothes, Rosalie has Bella's coat on her lap, but in the next shot it is on the counter next to her, with no time for it to have gotten there.

Continuity: When Mr. Molina pours the glass of 'compost tea' on the school trip, the amount in the glass lowers between shots - with no time to have poured any of it out.

Continuity: In the scene Edward comes into Bella's room and kisses her, Bella is at first wearing sweatpants. Then she is wearing shorts instead when they kiss.

Other: When Bella and Edward are identifying the different stages of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase) in the lab is not possible given the position of the microscope lens in relation to the microscope stage. The lens is positioned too far from the stage for an image of the nucleus to be correctly focused in the ocular.

Plot hole: The film's time line does NOT add up. According to Bella's screen narration, she arrives sometime in March (mid-semester). About a week later and just after Edward saves Bella from being crushed by the van, Mike Newton invites her to the "Monte Carlo" prom, which he says is a month away. Soon after, Edward tells Bella he's been watching her sleeping for "a few months." The film's events - Bella spending time with Edward and the Cullens, the nomadic vampires arriving and murdering several people, James pursuing Bella to Phoenix, and Bella being in the hospital recovering from multiple serious injuries including a cut thigh and "severed" femoral artery requring surgery, broken leg (confirmed by Bella's mother), head injury, and blood loss that all required hospitalization, recovery time, and physical therapy, and then being transported back to Forks when she's able to travel would all take much longer than a month (or even two) from the movie's start to when Bella and Edward attend the prom. The medical issues alone would take weeks (possibly more than a month).

Continuity: In the ballet studio fight scene, Bella grasps an injured right leg with her left hand. When Bella is in the hospital, the cast is obviously on the left leg which is under the blanket-the silhouette of the leg is straight and much larger than the right leg, which is thinner, flexed and has skin exposed at an area which would have been covered had it been in a bandage or cast. But when she and Edward go to prom, the injured leg is again the right leg, which is in a cast.

Other: In the driving scene after Bella leaves her father to run from James, Edward appears on the side of her truck. Although the truck is moving, Edward's hair remains stationary.

Continuity: When Victoria is leading the police and dogs on a chase eastward, she leaves her bare footprint on a mound of dirt, and her foot is pointed forward. When Charlie catches up and inspects the footprint, it is pointed at an angle.
