Mistake Continuity: When one of the People from Under the Stairs bursts through the wall, trying to attack the Woman, the hole it makes in the wall has wood splinters hanging all around it, yet in the next shot it is completely free of any splinters and looks much more neater.

Mistake Continuity: When the Man gets tricked by the coins pushed into the candlesticks, it shows the same coin falling from the same candlestick twice.

Mistake Audio problem: When Prince falls out of the wall, dead, the Woman cries out "You Killed Prince!" yet her mouth only says "Prince!"

Mistake Audio problem: As Fool is attacked by Prince in the wall he cries out "Alice, Get Back!" yet his mouth is shut.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the police car pulls up to inquire about the van, in a side shot of the car you can see a crew-member reflected in the back window.

Mistake Continuity: When the Man blasts the two doors away with his gun, the two outer doors get blasted off, however a large piece of plywood still remains in this entrance. In the next shot, when the Man yells "Gonna kill you!" the whole entrance is clear and the remaining wood is now gone.

Mistake Revealing: When Prince attacks Leroy, in some shots it is quite apparent that Prince is just a stuffed animal.

Mistake Revealing: When the Woman bursts out the door to attack Fool (after Fool hits the Man with the poker) you can see kneepads on her knees, as her dress slightly rides up her legs.

Mistake Revealing: When Fool is climbing inside the chimney (just before him and Alice descend down and hit the Woman), you can see the brick chimney wobble as he climbs in.

Mistake Continuity: When Leroy is in the kitchen talking to Ruby and Fool, the position of the map in his shirt pocket changes a few times in the scene.

Mistake Factual error: When the Man cocks his gun to pursue Leroy and Fool, Leroy refers to the gun as an "automatic." The gun was actually a semi-automatic handgun.

Mistake Revealing: When Alice trips and falls on the staircase, the Woman gets on top of her and tries to stab her. Throughout their struggle, you can clearly see that Alice is in fact replaced by a stuntman.

Mistake Revealing: After Alice stabs the mother with the knife, the mother begins to take it out. However, you can see that she's taking it out from the side of her body and you can even see the point of the knife on the other side.

Mistake Continuity: After Leroy grabs Fool by the shirt and orders him to stand in the middle of the room to attract Prince, the position of his ruffled shirt (from where Leroy grabbed it) differs from shots.

Mistake Continuity: The small hole in Fool's tee-shirt, just under the collar, keeps changing appearance throughout the movie, and sometime it even disappears in scenes, then is there in other scenes.

Mistake Continuity: When Grandpa Booker looks at the coins, the pile on the table in front of him changes position between shots.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Alice bursts out of the ceiling and knocks out the Woman, as she descends from the top, you can see a white guide wire attached to her.

Mistake Revealing: When Leroy is attacked by Prince for the second time, it is very obvious that it is a stunt double.

Mistake Revealing: When The Man is trying to shoot Roach through the walls, he shoots the ceiling, which causes dust to fall down. Then, there is a noticable shift, because the dust changes position without a shot change.
