Revealing mistake: During the bison shooting scene, a bison goes down close to the camera and both horns jiggle like they're about to fall off. Looks quite fake. (01:00:06)
Revealing mistake: During the sax player's solo (final concert), his fingers don't match the notes, and he stops moving his fingers before the solo is over. Also, the sax player in the blue jacket behind Buddy's right side often lags behind the sax player to his right. At times, it looked like the sax player was watching the sax player next to him to know when to play. Sometimes, he would put the reed in his mouth for a fraction of a section and just pretend to be playing. Near the end, both sax players seem lost and even laughing at themselves. (01:47:17)
Revealing mistake: In the opening scene right after she's put in the truck, she is lying on the bed looking in a mirror above her and her earrings are hanging parallel to the ground as though she was standing. (00:02:12)
Revealing mistake: During the last Race (the Agua Caliente), Phar Lap's hoof was re-opening from a crack earlier in the movie. When they show the close up of the leg/hoof during the race in slow motion, the "blood stain" keeps moving around on the leg wrap and hoof area.
Revealing mistake: When Bob Crane was playing drums in the club, the night that he told Patti he and John were going out - he CLEARLY isn't playing to the beat, as you can hear drum fills, and he just playing as hitting the drum once with his left stick.
Revealing mistake: When the Krays are boxing for the first time, their mum comes in to break them up. She runs up to the ring where a member of the crowd holds the middle rope lower to help her get in the ring. The problem is, he pulls the rope before he sees her making her way to the ring. It can't be a coincidence as he lets go as soon as she's in the ring. (00:26:30)
Revealing mistake: When Alvin and his mule get struck by lightning, if you look closely you can see the hair flip up on the mule's flank as he's hit with a whip to make him get up, and you can see the whip drag off to the side of the screen.
Revealing mistake: When Rimbaud dies, as the nurse covers him with the white cloth, he blinks for a fraction of a second.
Revealing mistake: When Dame Penelope Wilton drops Kevin Kline off at the bus stop, the prior tracking shot shows a large white building and a central clock tower. These are the Midlands Hotel and Boggie's Clock Tower, two major landmarks in Gweru, Zimbabwe, where the film was produced and not in East London, where it was set.

Revealing mistake: Whenever Ralph is driving Travers in the limousine and the exterior of the car is seen in a long shot, there is no one riding in it other than the driver. From every view point of the windows that can be seen, there is no passenger inside where Travers is supposed to be seated.
Revealing mistake: Tommy picks up a chair and breaks it on a desk, but the chair breaks just before contact. (01:25:30)
Revealing mistake: When Paul Castellano is shot, there is a blood spurt shown from where the bullet hits, but the position of the gunman who fires at him doesn't match the direction the blood spurts. The gunman is across the street facing Castellano at an angle, but the blood spurt shown could only be achieved if the two were facing each other directly. (00:56:10)
Revealing mistake: Callahan proudly shows to a policeman an issue of the Portland State University "Vanguard", the magazine that is publishing his comic. Looking at the prop, it is instantly suspicious because Callahan's name is all over it like he's a celebrity, and in fact, the article on it is nothing but a copy and paste of Timothy Egan's "Defiantly incorrect" article from The New Yorker celebrating John Callahan's talents in 1992. (01:12:55)
Revealing mistake: At one point when the soldiers are walking through the jungle, one of them steps into a trap and is pulled up into the trees to be killed by Indians. However, if you watch this scene carefully, when the soldier (who steps into the trap) walks into frame you can see a wire already attached to his foot leading up into the trees. He doesn't step into a trap. (00:22:26)
Revealing mistake: After Frank shoots Kevin and Kevin's SUV hits the curb, the background/scenery changes as well as the position of Frank's car. Frank initially pulls along the curb (behind the SUV) with his car at about a 30° angle. The next time Frank's car is shown, it is almost perpendicular to the curb and the Food Mart. When Rupple and Frank have their guns aimed, they would be aiming inside the Mart, not toward Kevin. Objects in the background also change (e.g, fire hydrant, telephone pole appear). (00:16:48)
