Osbourne Cox: If you ever carried out your proposed threat you would experience such a shitstorm of consequences my friend, your empty little head would be spinning faster than the wheels of your Schwinn bicycle back there.
Chad Feldheimer: Y-you think that's a Schwinn?
Burn After Reading (2008) - 9 mistakes
These mistakes are currently being ordered by time. Entries without times will appear at the end.
Other: In the scene where George Clooney is standing in front of their house watching his wife leave for the book-signing tour, the front door of his house is open. You can see the trees inside the front door as if the trees are inside their house.
Continuity: In the opening scene when Oz is brought in to be fired, he first approaches the desk and before he sits down, is standing in between the desk and the chair. In the reverse shots from behind him, he is standing behind the chair, not in front of it.
Other: The date on the surveillance footage from the camera in the Russian Embassy says 01.05.08, implying that it is either January or May (depending on which date notation is being used, American mm.dd.yy or Russian dd.mm.yy). However, it is fall/autumn outside, as there are dead leaves everywhere.
Continuity: When George Clooney is running, there's a shot of him in the neighborhood with the back of his shirt drenched. When they show him inside the house shortly after, the sweat stain on his back is significantly smaller.
Other: When Linda looks in the rear view mirror at the car following her, the license plate is seen as normal, not a mirror image like it should be.
Factual error: The layout of the Cox's house doesn't make sense. The house is an end-terrace - stairs on the right side (from the front). The stairs rise to the back, and perform a 180 degree turn. The first door on the left is the Cox's bedroom. The wall opposite to the bedroom door would be a solid wall - the partition wall to the neighbouring terrace. Instead it has a well lit window.
Continuity: In the scene where Osbourne is getting demoted because of his drinking problem, a gold pen keeps appearing and disappearing on the desk.
Continuity: In the first scene in the office, John Malkovic stands in front of the chair. Next shot he is behind it, and next shot he is back in front of it.
