Continuity: When Jack and Helen Hunt enter the restaurant on their trip, a certain song is playing. (I can't recall what song). Jack leaves to buy a jacket, returns, and just after they are seated, you hear the female band leader say, "Here's a special song for (blah blah blah)..." And it's the same song they played 10 minutes ago.

Revealing: At the beginning of the movie, when Jack Nicholson catches Simon's dog, he holds it away from him, with his arms stretched.  When the dog begins to pee, you can see that the urine is coming out from Jack Nicholson's glove.

Visible crew/equipment: Early in the movie, Jack Nicholson walks for the first time to the restaurant in which Helen Hunt works. As Jack turns the corner on the sidewalk and walks towards the camera, he is surrounded by extras playing people he must dodge. If you look in the center and right background, you will see New York spectators standing in the middle of the street, watching the movie being made.

Revealing: Midway through the film, Helen Hunt is on a bus heading to Jack Nicholson's apartment in Manhattan. She is going to tell him that she won't sleep with him after he has given her son free medical care. She is in a pensive mood and the camera pulls out showing her in the window. As the camera pulls out further, the readable sign on the side of the bus says "not in service."

Continuity: Jack Nicholson is sitting at his desk at home. He takes off his glasses and he stands up to look through the window. When he is about to look outside, the camera shot outside his apartment shows that he takes off his glasses again.

Continuity: In the scene where the three of them are driving to Baltimore, Helen has a zit on her face. In the next shot it is gone.

Continuity: After Simon has to dismiss his housekeeper, she is leaving the apartment with her large purse in one hand and several carrier bags in the other. She then lifts her hand, which is now empty, and says, "But who's going to walk Verdell?" There was no time for her to shift or drop her purse.

Continuity: After the trio's arrival in Baltimore Helen Hunt is in her room placing a call home. When she is first pictured placing the call she has a pager clipped to her jeans. It is gone, never to reappear, in the next shot.

Continuity: After Melvin orders crabs his tie knot keeps changing back and forth between the striped and the checkered pattern of his tie. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Continuity: Simon's cut on his lip is quite visible in the car on the trip down to Baltimore and on the way back to New York, but it miraculously disappears while they are staying in the hotel in Baltimore.

Continuity: When Carol tells Melvin off for trying to teach Spence manners Spence is standing in the kitchen. When the camera angle changes as Carol walks back to the kitchen counter Spence is standing in the background holding on to the door to the living room. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Continuity: In Simon's sketch, Carol is lying the opposite way to the way she is really lying.

Continuity: Simon has a rack of pool balls on his coffee table. When Melvin is telling Simon about the bacon, the 2 ball (solid blue) is near the telephone. In the next shot, the dog jumps up to get the bacon and now the 3 ball (solid red) is near the phone.

Continuity: When Simon's picture is unveiled, the model's hand is now not in either of the positions mentioned in the earlier mistake about the model's hand moving.

Continuity: In the restaurant scene with Jack and Helen, when she is taking her drink from the bar to their table with the help of a waiter, when she first picks up her drink there is very little in it, but when she takes the drink from the waiter and places it on the table it is practically full.

Continuity: In the end when Jack and Helen are kissing, his arm is around her neck. This arm changes from one arm to the other in a split second.

Continuity: In the first diner scene Melvin sits down and takes off his glasses. He starts fiddling with the button of his breast pocket. When the camera angle changes his hands are somewhere else and the pocket is still buttoned. When it changes again he is putting his glasses into the now unbuttoned pocket. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Continuity: When we see Carol writing the thankyou note, the page is numbered (23), there are 8 lines of writing on the page and she says she is on the last page. When she is looking up the word 'conscience' in the dictionary, the paper is visible again but it is a different sheet - there is no number and there are only 4 lines of writing. It is the page she is about to write on because the last words written are 'have it on my ' - 'conscience' following this phrase makes sense.

Continuity: When Melvin goes to the restaurant after seeing the psychiatrist and is not served by Carol he bangs on the table and tells the waitress to go and get her. The flowers in the vase on the table change twice in consecutive shots. Pre-bang = yellow, orange and red. Post-bang 1 = white, 2 yellow and red. Post-bang 2 = 2 white and 2 yellow.

Continuity: When Carol and Melvin are talking in her restaurant and he is trying to convince her to go to Baltimore, she folds up her thank-you letter, but the subsequent shots show the many-paged letter is still open in her hand in the lower left of the screen.
