Continuity mistake: In many interior places in the mansion heavy wind, rain or thunder/lightning can he heard on a continuous loop however when the player ventures to exterior locations in the mansion there is dead silence (to a point were only crickets can often be heard). This only applies to the 2002 RE remake to my knowledge.

Continuity mistake: Some of the missions - unintentionally - let Tanner switch cars if the player is quick enough (by stopping at red lights and swiftly jumping into another stationary vehicle, for example) and leave the default vehicle behind. Still, in the following CG cutscene, it's always the default/generic car that can be seen.

Continuity mistake: The first time you arrive at Ecruteak City, go to the Burned Tower. After speaking with Eusine, you can see that Silver (your rival) is in the middle of the tower, waiting for you. However, instead of speaking with him, leave the tower, and continue the game until you reach Olivine City. When you arrive, Silver will come out from a gym, speak with you and then go away. However, if you return to the Burned Tower, you can see that Silver is still there, which means he was at two places at once.
