Updated recently Continuity: The bandage on Jim Carrey's chin changes size frequently throughout the movie.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the police are leaving the motel, you can see a camera reflection in the S.W.A.T. van as it drives by.

Mistake Continuity: The blood comes flowing out of Charlie's hand before he gets his thumb shot off.

Mistake Revealing: When Charlie shoots the cow there is no bloodshed at all, even though the cow is supposed to be alive.

Mistake Continuity: When Charlie shoots the cow, he had turned off the headlight of the motorcycle. After he shoots the cow the first time, the headlight is back on.

Mistake Continuity: Right after Charlie and Irene push the car over the cliff, Charlie asks Irene if she grabbed the wallet off the dash and she says no. Later in the motel, when they are lying in bed, Charlie is sharing family pictures with Irene and they talk about carrying pictures in their wallets. Charlie's was at the bottom of the lake with the car. [The deleted scene on the DVD doesn't really help - in it Hank jumps off the cliff to get his wallet, and then Irene follows. However the movie shows Charlie and Irene looking down the 30 meter high cliff and walking away with dry clothes. Deleted scenes can "disallow" a mistake only if they fill in plausible back story, rather than contradicting the "proper" movie directly.]

Mistake Continuity: When Irene and Charlie are in the water near the end, the clouds change between each shot.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Charlie and Irene are driving Irene says 'He did save our lives'. After this it goes to Charlie. Here the boom mic can be seen in the top left of the window.

Mistake Factual error: In the flashback scene in 1982 when Charlie and Layla are on the picnic blanket, they're drinking Budweisers out of late 1990's bottles that came in a late 1990's six-pack.

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": When Layla is having babies and the first one comes out there is already a nappy on the baby.

Mistake Continuity: Just as Charlie reaches Dickie and Irene on the bridge, Dickie is looking forward. In the next shot he is looking down and behind him.

Mistake Continuity: In the motel scene Charlie gets two cokes. When he returns we see Irene taking off her left shoe twice from different camera angles.

Mistake Continuity: When the little girl starts screaming her long hair moves from her back to her front.

Mistake Audio problem: When Charlie and Irene are cruising on his motorcycle just after he leaves his meds in the motel room, you can hear the bike shift gears, but you do not see Charlie press the clutch or use the gear shift lever.

Mistake Continuity: In the beginning of the movie, when Charlie and Shonté start arguing, Shonté takes his jacket off and throws it to one side. The jacket continually changes sides throughout the scene.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Shonte Jr and the boys answer the door to the Colonel, you can see the camera and crew in the reflection of the door.

Mistake Continuity: Right near the end of the movie when Irene is saying goodbye to Charlie, her makeup is a lot darker to when she is driving away in the car, it looks a lot lighter and rubbed off. When she is pulled over again by the police and gets out of the car her makeup is once again a lot darker.

Mistake Continuity: At the health food restaurant Hank gets annoyed with a slurping kid. At this point his hands change between holding on to his chair to lying on the table.

Mistake Continuity: When Charlie tries to get the little girl off the street there are the same two extras walking by in short succession.

Mistake Continuity: At the very end when Whitey and the boys are looking for Charley's finger, they are splashing around in a very muddy river, but from the underwater shots the water is quite clear.
