Continuity mistake: After Cowboy says they are pulling back after Eightball and Doc Jay were wasted, Mother pivots to tell everyone to wait. After his pivot, his left leg stayed behind him, but the very next shot of a closer look to Mother, his left leg has moved up beside his other leg.

Suggested correction: Funny thing is, there are 8 whilst there should be 9. When they go to get Mother, Cowboy points out 5 to come with him, and then Joker and Rafterman volunteer to come along. That's 8. Including Mother that would be 9. But there are only 8 in later shots. I can count 8 at the 2:30 timestamp. What is even funnier is that at 2:02 there are only 6 running, not 8. And lastly, when they hook up with Mother, they are 6 in total against the wall (2:24). Maybe someone could confirm this for me so it can be edited.
Actually, he tells four to come with him: No-Doze, Scutter, Donlon, and Rock. Joker and Rafterman join, so that should be seven going to mother, but only six are shown. There was an entry for that here, but it is under corrections, saying that the viewer is one of the seven, which is totally incorrect.

Continuity mistake: After Cowboy dies, Mother comes over and states, "Are we ready for payback?" Joker says, "Yeah." He then proceeds to start bringing his arms together. Immediately, the camera switches to a wider view, and Joker is starting to bring his hands together again.
