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. See more...

As part of Dean's bogus backstory about "Annie," he tells her she is from Idaho. Later, when she tells Dean that something is familiar about Billy, he says that Billy was her high school boyfriend. So he would have her believe that she and her high school boyfriend now live in the same town a few hundred miles from where they grew up, and that she married his friend? [It is made very clear during the movie that Dean is making up details from "Annie's" past as he goes along. He's counting on her just accepting what he says. This is a character mistake, and given the circumstances a reasonable one.]

After pushing Kurt off the boat, Goldie throws his toolbelt and then his toolbox into the water. Strangely, the heavy toolbox floats. [The toolbox is made of wood and wood floats. We cannot determine whether or not there were enough tools in the toolbox to cause it to sink.]

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.]

At the beginning when Dean goes to the hospital to pick up, Annie/Joanna, the officer hands him the underwear that she was wearing he said she didn't know what JS meant. Later in the movie she had found the same underwear in his truck and had acted as though she had never seen them before in her life. Granted, she didn't know what the JS stood for, but she had seen them before. [Well, considering the fact that she has amnesia, it is probable that she doesn't know that she had seen them before.]
Edit
This story takes place in Oregon, but the Coast Guard cutter says "Point Evans" on the stern. This boat would be dispatched from Los Angeles, California. [The name on the stern is a registered name, which is the location where the ship is registered to. Since the states of California and Oregon are located next to each other, it's not that hard to believe that a ship that is registered to L.A. was being used near Oregon. Same principle as a lot of Carribean Cruise ships, most of which read "Panama" on the stern, as they are registered there, but operate in the Carribean.]

When Grant comes to pick up Annie/Joanna at her house in Elk Cove, she gets into the limo first, followed by Grant. In the next scene (when the boys rush the limo) she and Grant are seated in the opposite order. [Anyone who has ever taken a ride in a limo will know that there is plenty of room to move about in the back, and that switching places hardly takes more than a second.]

Soon after Annie/Joanna moves in with Dean, she defrosts the freezer with a blow dryer. The dryer she uses is a Solano, used by professional hairstylists, and it seems unlikely she would find this $125+ model in such a house! [Might have been a gift, they could have stolen it or bought it from a fence, might have borrowed it and never returned it, got it in a pawn shop . any one of a dozen explanations.]
