Total Recall (1990)

Revealing mistake: Pay attention to the drywall on Quaid's left just as he exits the bathroom to a rain of gunfire. If you look closely there are discolorations in the paint where explosive charges are packed and set to detonate in lockstep with the shots - creating "bullet holes". (00:25:00)

Total Recall (1990)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Quaid takes out Lori with a bullet to the head, she lands on the floor in such a manner that allows blood to run across the right side of her forehead. A few shots later Melina pushes Lori out of the way, repositioning the body on its opposite side. But once Richter discovers Lori moments later, blood is only visible running across the left side of her forehead. If anything, there should be blood running from either side of the bullet wound. (01:08:10 - 01:09:05)

Continuity mistake: During the hallway fight sequence between Lori and Melina, we see Quaid in the background aiming a machine gun - just as Melina gets kicked in the back. But a few seconds later, Quaid reaches for the same gun a second time. (01:07:40)
