Visible crew/equipment: When the camera zooms in on Sebastian as he is suspended dead by the snake charmer's rope, a visible wire can be seen suspending him in the air. (00:47:25)
Continuity mistake: For the infamous closing scene, a van of drug-runners fire a double-barrelled 12-gauge shotgun straight into the windscreen of Officer Wintergreen's Electra Glide motorcycle, killing him. In the full front view, the gunfire virtually explodes the windscreen, shattering it on all sides all the way to the frame. Camera cuts to a side view and we see Wintergreen topple off as the motorcycle keeps traveling down the road. In this profile shot, the windscreen is no longer exploded, but now has a neat 4-inch hole in it.
Continuity mistake: When the prisoners in the confinement holes talk clinging from the bars at the top, Jim Brown's hands are one bar apart in the overhead shot, 2 bars in close-ups. (00:00:50)
Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, the marching band pass the Queen Victoria statue in Windsor twice on their way to the castle.
Revealing mistake: When The Kid sits next to Dillon at the Bruins game, there are two older women in the background looking directly at the camera and pointing at it, having just noticed that they are being filmed. (01:33:10)
Other mistake: Throughout the whole scene when Black Caesar is wounded by the Irish hitman several passers-by can be seen looking directly into the camera, and in many shots people are crowded together on the sidewalk watching the filming. Conversely, the hitman fires a big and loud revolver in the middle of a crossing with dozens of people and cars in close quarters, and nobody bats an eyelid. (00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: At the gas station, Arletty looks at the attendant discharging his gun in the nearby trees. In the next shots, she is holding her bag randomly with or without the shoulder strap up. (00:05:10)
Continuity mistake: When Linus and Lucy are talking to Snoopy he's got a shopping cart stuck on his right leg. Then, when he's getting on the bus it's suddenly on his left leg.
Continuity mistake: When Webster breaks into his first house, he has his briefcase open, so he can get at the items he needs, but before he leaves, he picks up the torch that is sitting on his closed briefcase - he never closed his briefcase; it was open all the time.
Factual error: James Caan plays a US Navy Boatswain (Bo'sun) Mate. His rank insignia of BM 1st Class should be worn on the right sleeve, but he has it on the left.
