Continuity mistake: When Dave is under the shower and the First Lady talks to him the handles change positions many times during the scene. (00:47:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Dave and the First Lady go to the homeless children's shelter in the President's limo her skirt slips off her knee. Her hands are folded on her left side, as she was trying to lean away from Dave, but when we see the knee from Dave's perspective her hands are folded in the lap. (00:42:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Dave makes a submarine sandwich for Duane and himself. He is seen shredding some carrot on the still open sandwich, then talking to Duane without moving his arms, and finally there is a close-up where he cuts the closed sandwich into half. (00:40:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Dave starts acting as President, Bob asks him to call his company to tell them that he is going on a trip. When he makes the call and the camera angle changes the glasses he was wearing are lying on the desk. (00:28:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the First Lady joins Dave while he is playing with the horse race game they sit down on the far ends of the sofa with at least a meter between them. When we see them from behind they are sitting right next to each other. (01:00:25)

NancyFelix

Visible crew/equipment: In the last dancing scene before Max and Lily disappear you see a boom mic several times over Lily's head. It's a silver one for a change. (01:25:10)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When Steve and Julia talk in the garden on New Year's Eve, there is plenty of snow but no other signs of cold temperature, like breath clouds. (01:21:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the attic scene, when Dave discovers Max's and Lily's memorabilia, the boom mike appears twice. (00:39:20 - 00:40:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Steve discusses Brad Conway's new book with Van Allsburg, the pen on the folder in front of Van and the pen in the holder in front of Dave change positions several times during the scene. (00:22:50)

NancyFelix

Visible crew/equipment: When Steve rejects Brad Conway's new book and Brad says "what is it exactly?" there is a boom mic visible. (00:09:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Steve and Julia have a look at their new house and Steve makes a mess of the cue rack the balls on the pool table are arranged differently before and after. (00:06:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Three actresses play Valerie Sonnenschein/Sors at three different ages. As a young woman she has a distinct birthmark on her upper lip which she doesn't have as a child or as an old woman.

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the General tells Gustav to remove all Jews from his team Gustav runs to the toilet and vomits. Altough he aims into the toilet bowl you see a close-up of a huge load falling on his boots. (02:16:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the Austrian Emperor and Gustav's father die on the same day Gustav puts their photographs on a sideboard. The close-up of Gustav's father's picture shows a white background, in contrast to all wide shots. (00:44:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: On the second day of the trip, after Wade and Terry have killed their guide, they wait for Gail to guide them down the river. They walk up the steep riverside to have a look at the rapids, and there is one shot where you see that the rapids are much wilder, and the water flows into the opposite direction. (00:19:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Tom tells Gail he won't take part in the rafting trip and she sits down on the bed, her hair changes several times between tucked behind the ears and hanging straight in alternating shots. (00:04:35)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: In the final showdown, when Gail points the gun at Wade who is standing in the water, the raft isn't moving altough the current is pretty fast and the raft didn't get stuck anywhere as the cable is up in the air again. (01:37:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Tom sets up the trap with the cable across the river the water is calm and almost stagnant. When the raft arrives the water is choppy and flowing fast. (01:23:35 - 01:37:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Tom escapes he climbs up the steep rocks on the riverside. The height at which he is shown varies dramatically depending on the camera angle, and when he finally falls down into the water (unharmed, after bouncing from rock to rock.) he would actually have landed on the bank which was shown in the shot before. (01:13:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Gail, Tom and Rourke get tied up when they take off with Wade and Terry. However, when they take a food and pee break they leave the raft apparently untied, with no evidence of anyone untying them. (00:55:00)
