Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Tom Cruise is crossing over to Mud Island, you can see the reflection of the rotor blades on the monorail from the helicopter which is filming.
Continuity mistake: Early in the movie, the kids go moto-surfing and the jeep they are riding in changes from having a door to not having a door.
Revealing mistake: When Henry throws the dummy off the bridge, watch the rear window of the gray car; it explodes before being hit.
Revealing mistake: While in the convenience store, watch the arcade screen the punks are playing, they are getting very excited about the game, however anyone who has played Street Fighter 2 will notice that they are merely looking at the demo version and even the words "insert coins" are displayed on the screen.
Factual error: In at least two scenes, cars from the 1990's can be seen, despite the fact that the film took place two decades earlier. (00:50:00)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Clarence is cleaning Alabama's wounds outside the airport (after she gets beaten up by and subsequently kills her would-be hitman), a large gaping cut seen on the left side of her face in one scene is gone in the next and does not reappear.
Revealing mistake: The oil lamp carried by Mary when she first finds Colin has a flame that never flickers, and is likely an electric lamp.
Continuity mistake: When Regina tells her boyfriend to put the leash on the dog, he goes to do so but when you see his hand clip the leash on, the shot changes to a woman's hand clipping the leash on (the nails are covered in nail polish).
Continuity mistake: Just after Huck (Elijah Wood) hides in the piano, Mary Jane comes in to visit her dead brother in his coffin before they bury him. She sets down her candle and in the next shot a chair suddenly appears beside her to sit down.
Continuity mistake: When Darian hits Cliff over the back with the attic pole, the brass hook disappears between strikes.
Continuity mistake: When Jacquouille is eating on the floor of the living room, the amount of food changes from shot to shot and when Béatrice notices the flooding, his dish is not there.
Revealing mistake: The 'bear trap' clearly has no spikes in it, so how could it have wounded Nathan. This is ever so clear when Tori prises the bear trap open to get his leg out, and it snaps back. (00:52:00)
Continuity mistake: There's a scene where Oldman is talking to his wife (Anabella Sciorra) in the kitchen. He is sitting at the table on which there's a candle. In one scene the candle is lit, in the next it has gone out. It also switched between flickering and staying still.
Factual error: Throughout the movie, you see Carlito using a Beretta 92F semi-automatic pistol. The movie is set in 1975, that model pistol wasn't introduced until the mid 80s.
Continuity mistake: One of the tiles comes loose when Wallace is walking across the ceiling in the museum. A few seconds later, the tile is flat against the wall again.
Suggested correction: The tile is to come off the shoe of the trousers and the black gap is always present.
Factual error: After showing a picture from 1955 when he was eight, the narrator (Shayne) states that he was fifteen by 1962. The story begins with his mother getting fired from her job at a potato chip factory and making the decision that night to move the next morning. The family moves from L.A. to Kingston, Idaho. Shayne's mother Fran tells Mr. Moon that they (she and whatever work her kids do for him around the house) want paid "minimum wage plus 10%" to pay for the land and when she gets hired at the bowling alley she is told the job pays "minimum wage" (plus any tips, which "ain't much"). Idaho did not establish a minimum wage until 1963, a year (or some months) later. The narrator even asserted at the beginning "This is a true story. It really happened to me." (00:20:03 - 00:23:47)
Factual error: When the camera took a shot on a train coming to a station in Czechoslovakia, you can see electric cables above the train tracks. There was no such thing in Czechoslovakia as electrified trains in the 1940's. The electrification started in the 1950's. (00:01:05)
Continuity mistake: When the Turtles are climbing the wall to get into the garbage-chute that leads to the prison, you can see Donatello's bandana tail hanging down towards the wall just as if they were crawling on the floor. (01:09:05)
Continuity mistake: The bullets that Leary removes from the keychain at the banquet are in a different position than they were when he put them in.
Continuity mistake: When Smith and Connor arrive at the Nakamoto tower and are exiting the elevator on the 46 th floor, you can see in several shots that Smith's suit is wet on the shoulders. However as he was going up the elevator the suit wasn't wet at all and even during the whole scene in the 46th floor, the suit changes from wet to dry as angles change.
