Continuity mistake: When Dickie is in Hank's and Irene's train cabin, Irene hits him over the head and he lands on top of Hank. You can see his head is behind Hanks shoulder, but when Hank wakes up Dicky's head is next to Hanks. (01:25:45)

Continuity mistake: When Hank/Charlie fights himself on the platform the station clock shows 3:50 while Charlie's watch shows 5:55 when he throttles himself. (01:28:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Charlie/Hank and Irene arrive at the train station in Rhode Island. Charlie and Hank are having a "fight", during this fight Hank unzips his pants to wiggle his "thing" at a group of ladies sitting on a bench. Immediately after that he falls to the ground and his pants are zipped. (01:28:40)

Revealing mistake: When Charlie gets shot inside the station a woman (accompanied by a man with a green hat) can't help laughing. (01:29:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Charlie is being chased through the train station and gets shot in the arm look out for a boy in the train station with a green top because immediately after he exits the station the boy is sitting on a bench outside. (01:29:45)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where both Jim's characters are beating each other at the wheel of this red convertible, bad Jim throws good Jim out of the car which was doing some 30/40 mph in a straight line. In the next shot Jim is seen chasing the car on foot: the convertible is now doing no more than 7/10 mph and it's descending a hill after a sharp right-hand corner. (01:32:05)

Continuity mistake: After Charlie's thumb has been shot off he dives into the water to rescue Irene. When he reaches out for her with his left hand the thumb is back in place. (01:37:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: 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.]

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

Revealing mistake: After Charlie gets his thumb shot off by Dickey near the end, in most of the shots you can easily see that Charlie is bending his thumb behind the rest of his hand instead of computer graphics removing it.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: The movie starts out in the present and then flashes back. The skinny trees in front of the house are tall in the beginning and in the flashback they are small. They grow a little more every time it's been a few years, but when they come back to the present, the trees are still only half grown in one shot. In the next, they are fully grown.

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.

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the movie when Irene falls off the bridge and Charlie follows, and when the boy's helicopter comes to save them, it is cloudy then a split second later sunny, then back again throughout the entire scene.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Sol Parker

Visible crew/equipment: After the scene of Hank peeing in the guy's car there is a shot of multiple police cars driving past. At the beginning of this shot, the boom mic's reflection is visible on the road.

Audio problem: This may be in the TV version due to language censoring, but in one of the helicopter scenes, you can tell that the sound of the helicopter is only a clip about a second long that is being played over and over.

Sol Parker

Character mistake: After Charlie and Irene leave the Rhode Island station for New York, the female officer refers to her boss as Captain, when he is a Colonel.

Irene: So I smoked a little pot in college. What, is that a crime?
FBI Agent: Yeah.
