Mistake Continuity: Joanna and Grant are talking on the yacht while Dean is working on Joanna's closet, and Grant has a bow and arrow in his hands. The first time you see the arrow it has a small blunt tip. The second time you see the arrow it has a big suction tip on it.

Mistake Continuity: When Dean goes to the hospital, the police officer hands him a large manilla envelope containing the photos of Annie/Joanna. Dean folds the envelope in half, pressing it together firmly, then shoves it into a jacket pocket. Later, when Dean gives the photos to Billy, the envelope is flat and the pictures are in mint condition - no bends or wrinkles.

Mistake Continuity: During the opening of the mini golf course you see in one shot that the ball comes out of Lincoln's mouth. Ever notice that there is no where for the ball to go? No artificial putting green is there, just a wooden platform and natural grass.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Annie goes to pick up the boys at school and they have poison oak, there is a shot of Annie holding her purse. Then they show her from behind with her purse over her shoulder, and then from the front again holding it.

Mistake Continuity: At the very end of the film they are shown on board the Coast Guard Cutter sailing into/toward the sunset. Since they are on the West coast they are headed out into the Pacific, not towards home/port. [The captain stated earlier that they were turning around to go after salmon poachers before Dean jumped off the back of the boat.]

Mistake Continuity: When Dean is picking up Annie at the hospital he goes through some photos. When he picks them up you see a picture of Annie. In the next shot on the table when he throws them down to look at her the first one on the stack was the second or third on the stack before.

Mistake Revealing: After pushing Kurt off the boat, Goldie throws his toolbelt and then his toolbox into the water. Strangely, the heavy toolbox floats.
